La petite robe noire, little black dress, is a perfect concept for a fragrance. Scent is as much of an embellishment as beautiful clothing, and an appropriately selected perfume can lend much to the allure of its wearer.

Fantastic fragrance. I had it in the pas and glad to have it again.

Draws Compliments; Great Smell; Long-Lasting

Overpowering

The REAL Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Couture is fabulous, and is the best combination for my chemistry of any perfume I've used (The One, J'Adore, Very Irrésistible, Amarige, Modern Muse). However, the product sent to me by __ is NOT the real thing.

Well, my enchantment with the house of Guerlain fizzled out some time ago, and by the time INSOLENCE arrived on the scene, I had completely lost all faith. No more blind buys, I vowed, although I continue to test when presented with a vial, as I was recently by Sephora of LA PETITE ROBE NOIRE...

I got sent a small spray bottle of the Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire (translated as 'the little black dress') through the post, after applying for a sample on the Boots website. I was thrilled when I got this as it is the first Guerlain product I have tried.

unusual; warming fragrance; long lasting

expensive; opening notes of patchouli are too sharp

This perfume is a favourite with my wife and our baby daughter (only 43) which shows how it manages to bridge the age gap excellently. One of the range of Petit Robe Noire perfumes, it has become the first choice for day use.

I love this fragrance. I know others have found the scent to be too heavy and overpowering but I didn't find this at all. On the one hand it is quite sweet and floral, yet at the same time I could really smell the fruity 'Black Cherry' top notes.

lovely packaging; long lasting; lovely scent

price

Beautiful smelling perfume that lasts all day. I am such a fan of Guerlain perfumes from the first time I smelt Shalimar on a friend. This smells distinctive, feminine, and sophisticated. I'm almost halfway through it despite having quite a few other perfumes to choose from!

... is the bottle - that is what prompted me to buy the perfume. Unfortunately it isn't as long lasting as some of the other Guerlain scents. Also a little bit too strong (in an unpleasant way) when you first spray it on which makes me sneeze a lot.

I have this in the 50ml size, which I got from Boots online when they had a special offer on perfumes online, which made it about ￡50 for ￡50ml. I got it about three months ago. It's quite different to other Guerlain perfumes I've worn and tried.
