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.

When I first saw the promotional images for La Petite Robe Noire EdT, Guerlain's newest fragrance, I was struck at how young it looked. Guerlain has always had a "womanly" vibe to it and this one channelled "girly".

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.

Let's get this out of the way: I love this. So very much. It's one of the few fragrances that made me want more of it after the first try. Wearing this conjures images of young ladies in tulle twirling around. Gorgeous. Like some of the other reviewers, I agree that this isn't a perfume wholly...

I think reviewing perfumes is generally not fair as it's not like skincare where it either works or it doesn't it's a simple case of if you like it or don't and perfume is so personal to the individual that really only you are the one that can say if you think it's nice or not.

Guerlain products are not cheap and while at ￡40 ish for a 30ml bottle this is not exactly the most expensive perfume on the market neither is it cheaop and I must say in my opinion, given the rather disappointing results, it is certainly not worth the money.

Nice design

No staying power

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!

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

I received a sample of this perfume and I fell in love with it. I decided to buy a 100ml bottle and wear it almost everyday. To be honest, it is a bit different with the sample I received (I think the sample is eau de toilette and I bought the eau de parfum) but I still love it.

... 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.
