Les Légendaires - Après L'Ondée Eau De Toilette 75ml

As the rumbling of a storm passes, a few droplets of rain linger, beading on leaves and grass under the emerging sunshine. The air starts to warm as soft sunlight filters through the leaves of the trees.
A delicate, mysteriously beautiful woman strolls along the edge of a wood. Buoyed by sweet, romantic feelings, she imagines herself in the arms of the man of her dreams.

Drawing from all that is soft and misty in nature, Jacques Guerlain gathers a bouquet of powdery flowers – iris and violets, carnations accords – and envelopes them with vanilla.
The delicate bouquet of a sentimental, romantic woman with a reserved, yet assertive personality. An olfactory watercolour with eternal grace.

A LEGEND OF ROMANTIC LOVE, OF RAIN DROPLETS BEADED ON CARNATIONS AND IRISES

Après l'Ondée opens with aniseed notes displaying their many shades and nuances.
It then blossoms into a bouquet of powdery flowers spiced with iris and violet accord and vanilla notes.
Scents which evoke a walk in the dewy undergrowth.

Carnation Accord.
The carnation is a “mute” flower so does not reveal its fragrance faithfully through traditional distillation or extraction techniques.
Each perfumer therefore interprets carnation’s fragrance according to their own sense of creativity.
Guerlain's carnation accord combines notes of rose and spice.

Iris.
A precious material, the iris deserves its nickname as the "blue gold" of perfumery, exhaling a refined, faceted fragrance with powdery, woody accents.
At Guerlain, iris is a key ingredient of “Guerlinade”. Across time periods, this flower has made its mark on some of the House's most legendary compositions.

Vanilla.
As a signature ingredient used by the Guerlain Maison, vanilla forms an essential part of “Guerlinade”. As such Guerlain perfumers have relentlessly sought out the most beautiful vanilla varieties.
Vanilla brings a gourmand, sensual note to perfume.

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.

HOUSE SECRETS

Après L’Ondée and L’Heure Bleue share one thing in common: an oregano accord composed of orange blossom, violet, clove and vanilla.
