Epices Exquises, an explosion of noble spices

Epices Exquises is the evocation of a sensory journey. Thierry Wasser has captured the essence of an irresistibly oriental fragrance: the spicy aromas of cardamom coffee. Like the warm and exhilarating wisps of this coffee, Epices Exquises blends a warm, full-bodied and sensual base, tinged with black pepper and woody notes of oud, patchouli and sandalwood, with refreshing, subtly overdosed facets of cardamom, notes of pink peppercorn and green and fresh angelica. A sublime and surprising contrast between hot and cold in an explosion of fine spices.

The sublimely contrast between warmth and freshness

Taking inspiration from the most beautiful notes in Oriental fragrance, with Epices Exquises Guerlain Master Perfumer Thierry Wasser enhances the contrasts between precious spices to create an olfactory chiaroscuro that awakens the senses.

CONTRASTING SPICES

A surprising and enchanting play on olfactory opposites in which warm spices like black pepper and cool spices such as cardamom and pink pepper mingle.

WARM AND PRECIOUS WOODS

Sandalwood, oud and patchouli, fragrance’s noble raw materials imprint this woody scent with a smoky and sensual base.

Perfumer Secrets

"With Epices Exquises I wanted to re-transcribe the surprising scent of the irresistibly spicy cardamom coffee I’m given every time I visit the Middle East. This coffee's unique blend of spices fills my memory with deliciously contrasting sensations: at the top, fresh accents of cardamom mingle with a warm, peppery, sensual base. It’s an intoxicating fragrance.”

An iconic bottle with added opulence and shimmer

Displayed across the Epices Exquises bottle, bronze tones evoke the warmth of sun-baked spices. Ochre shades that echo desert sand dunes adorn the sophisticated label ornamentation and dress the bottle with a warm elegant shimmer all the way up to the tie that adorns the bottle’s legendary cap.

A WOODY, SPICY SCENT THAT AWAKENS THE SENSES
