Fleur de Feu(1948)
Guerlain · Jacques Guerlain · Floral
At a glance
An aldehydic floral composition from Jacques Guerlain, opening on bergamot and aldehydes, moving through a heart of rose, jasmine, and orris, and closing on musk, amber, and vanilla. Fleur de Feu, Flower of Fire, suggests a passionate intensity within the composition's warm amber-vanilla base, applying an aldehydic brightness to the Guerlinade-adjacent structure recurring across much of the house's catalog.
