To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Terracotta line, Guerlain launched a new limited edition Terracotta Le Parfum Eau de Toilette. Perfumer Thierry Wasser describes the new perfume as ‘the charm of the sun in a bottle’ since its composition is built around sunny floral notes.
The olfactory pyramid of Guerlain Terracotta Le Parfum Eau de Toilette:
Top notes delight with refreshing bergamot accords, exotic coconut overflows, and delicate tiare flower shades, creating an intriguing introduction.
Heart notes unfold a sensual bouquet of white flowers - jasmine, ylang-ylang, and orange blossom.
Base notes complete the composition with a sultry aroma of smoky musk and sugary vanilla, leaving a luxurious sillage.
Thank you for the wonderful new perfume!
I also ordered the fragrance blindly. Today I have already had a chance to wear it. I want to note that the scent is truly unusual, I don't have anything similar to it. Sweetness is present, but it is not overwhelming or confectionery-like, it is more floral (like the pollen of exotic flowers). I also sense a certain powdery note, and the base of the fragrance is really similar to the smell of the bronzer with the same name. Overall, the scent is calm and without any shimmering effects. It is very soft and rounded, so for me, it is not monotonous or oppressive. I really want to try it in the summer heat!
I bought the fragrance blindly based on the description of the notes, and I am very satisfied with my purchase. I will wear it regularly to fully appreciate it, but my initial impression is excellent. It smells like ylang-ylang and orange blossom to me. It is surprisingly long-lasting, despite being an eau de toilette.
If you want to find a fragrance for the Elemis body care line Frangipiani Monoi, then this is the place for you. It has the scent of Frangipiani flowers and Monoi oil. P.S. If you think this is the scent of Terracota bronzing powder - it's not.
I really liked the scent, and I will happily continue wearing it. I won't go into describing it since everyone has their own perception.
It has been a week, and the geranium and lilac have disappeared! The perfume has revealed interesting and yet unconventional notes to me. However, it does not repel me; I constantly find myself reaching for it, wanting to take it out of the cabinet and inhale it. I will not wear it during the cold season as it does not fully develop, but in warm weather or even during the summer heat, it will be magnificent!
Excellent aroma that creates a summery, vacation-like mood!
The store's performance is excellent as always. The fragrance is really cool, starting off with a loud blend of ylang-ylang and jasmine. After half an hour, it transforms into a soft tanning lotion with a subtle, pleasant, and positive coconut undertone. However, its lasting power is around three hours on the body. In short, it is an interesting choice for warm summer evenings.
Here are my impressions: - It lasts on the skin for about 6 hours. - I can still smell a hint of vanilla and coconut on myself. - The scent is not overpowering, it stays close to the skin. When I apply it on my skin and scarf, I can feel the entire perfume with all its subtle nuances. The scent lingers on fabric and hair for 2-3 days. It has a comforting warm and sweet aroma. Many people say it's suitable for summer, but I won't be able to wear it in hot weather. For those who want to buy it, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND trying it in a store first, as it can smell completely different on you.
