Vanilla Reimagined with Elegant Contrast
Guerlain Angélique Noire Eau de Parfum is one of the most celebrated creations in the prestigious L’Art & La Matière collection. Crafted by master perfumer Daniela Andrier, it explores the captivating contrast between the fresh green character of angelica and the rich sensuality of vanilla, creating a fragrance that feels both luminous and irresistibly seductive.
Rather than presenting vanilla as sweet or gourmand, Angélique Noire balances it with aromatic herbs, delicate florals and smooth woods. The result is a refined composition that feels elegant, mysterious and effortlessly luxurious.
Fragrance Experience
The fragrance opens with the vibrant freshness of angelica seed, accented by juicy pear and a subtle touch of pink pepper that adds brightness and gentle spice. At its heart, elegant jasmine intertwines with aromatic caraway, bringing depth and sophistication. As the fragrance settles, rich vanilla unfolds alongside creamy cedarwood and earthy angelica root, creating a silky, warm and beautifully balanced dry-down that lingers gracefully on the skin.
