She is seductive and charming, yet behind her deceptively well-behaved appearance lies a beautifully assertive personality. With all the freshness of youth, this young lover reveals herself as by turns naïve and ingénue, brazen, soft, sweet and exuberant. About to marry the young Jean-Paul Guerlain, the perfumer made his first feminine olfactory creation for her, his bride, as proof of his love. A fresh, refined and youthful work, it hints at a voluptuous sensuality. A fragrant lover’s language filled with honeysuckle accord, a floral accord, notes of undergrowth and sandalwood. The passionate flame of young love with a timeless charm. Young love’s oath with timeless charm.

A legend of first kisses punctuated with notes of honeysuckle accord and sandalwood
This fragrant song opens with hesperidium followed by an airy rhythm set by notes of honeysuckle accord. This melody is echoed by a gardenia, jasmine and ylang-ylang floral accord followed by the soft music of undergrowth, sandalwood and vanilla notes.
Undergrowth notes
Harvested in France, Guerlain’s moss is first processed into a concrete before being transformed into an absolute. Tree moss absolute brings a woody and earthy note to perfume.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood essence comes mainly from Australia where the wood is harvested and distilled. Sandalwood gives fragrance a woody, creamy note.
Honeysuckle Accord
The honeysuckle accord is an original Guerlain creation made by its perfumers. This accord expresses the olfactory floral, honeyed scent of honeysuckle.
HOUSE SECRETS
In 1962 Chant d’Arômes was the first women’s fragrance to be composed by Jean-Paul Guerlain.

A LEGENDARY BOTTLE
Designed by Raymond Guerlain in 1912, its iconic “inverted heart” bottle is underscored with graceful scrolls typical of Art Nouveau. Its avant-garde stopper, in the form of a hollowed heart, evokes the delicate romanticism of this perfumery masterpiece and represented a real technical feat at the time.
