- What can you expect from the new Guerlain perfumes from the Guerlain L'Art et La Matière Les Extraits collection? First of all, a highly concentrated formula. Fragrances contain up to 30% concentrations of essential oils.
1. Rose Centifolia - Extrait 1 (30%) (floral and woody)
May rose absolute, almond, honey, patchouli, frankincense oil
Since its founding, Pierre-François Pascal Guerlain, the House's founder, has sourced roses from Grasse for nearly 200 years.
This is lasting a very long time and it transforms into such a gorgeous and addictive smell, it reminds me of Rose Incense from Amouage.
Great unisex smell, I would see myself buying this Extrait in the future.
2. Iris Pallida - Extrait 6 (powdery and woody)
Almond, musk, iris butter, sandalwood, white suede
This fragrance is a stunning Guerlain creation, featuring a 30% concentration of precious iris butter.
From all of them, I do enjoy this smell very much, it is the most buttery iris note I have tried and it is like a luxurious shirt, simply covering the skin with this aura of creamy sandalwood and iris.
For a lady, this will be the perfect scent. I do not see this one worn by a man
3. Bergamote Fantastico - Extrait 11 (citrusy-fresh)
Calabrian bergamot, bergamot petitgrain, opoponax resin, guaiac
The significance of Extrait 11 rests in the recognition of the 11th month, a golden number that distinguishes Guerlain's bergamot.
Since 1853, Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain selected bergamot to infuse vibrant freshness into his Imperial Eau de Cologne. It was presented to Empress Eugenie on her wedding day, marked the ascent of Guerlain to the esteemed position of Official Perfumer at the Court.
4. Vanille Planifolia - Extrait 21 (sweet-powdery.)
Bourbon vanilla, Bourbon vanilla CO2, vanillin, musk, amber
The significance of Extract 21 lies in the acknowledgment of the golden number for Guerlain's vanilla. Derived from the planifolia variety, this exceptional vanilla undergoes a meticulous 21-day cold maceration process in alcohol to evolve into a tincture.
After many hours, this transforms into a burning vanilla scent, similar to Babycat from YSL, but much more addictive and will last longer too.
5. Jasmin Grandiflorum - Extrait 30 (floral-animal)
CO2 absolute from Indian jasmine sambac, jasmine from Grasse, absolute from Calabrian jasmine, Strawberry
The significance of Extrait 30 lies in the recognition of the golden number for Guerlain's jasmine. Always at the forefront of innovation, Guerlain Perfumers have chosen a low-temperature CO₂ extraction at 30°C*. This process captures the intoxicating floral and fruity essence of the Grandiflorum jasmine.
6. Tonka Sarrapia - Extrait 75 (gourmand-sweet)
Coumarin (vanilla-scented compound), tonka beans from southern Africa
Originating from the Sarrapia tree, the tonka bean is renowned for its high coumarin content, up to 75%, which imparts its distinctive almond note. Since 1889, Guerlain has employed this molecule in microdoses to enhance the tonka bean, multiplying its potency.
Coumarin, naturally present in the Tonka bean, was first employed by Guerlain in 1889. Aimé Guerlain used this synthetic molecule in creating Jicky.
They cost 550€ for 50ml which is quite a lot, but when you get to this level of luxury and olfactive experience provided by Guerlain, I do not think the price is the key factor anymore.

Iris Pallida and Vanille Planifolia took my breath away! I tested both in person and the vanilla lasted for hours. Stunning performance. I could only purchase one at the time and chose Vanilla. Iris is next for me. Bergamont is stunning. Such a beautiful collection. I wouldn’t expect any less from Guerlain.

[@razvanyke]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching and the great feedback !

[@Strictlybusiness79]

I am obsessed with Guerlain’s consistent quality. They do not come out with gimmicky fragrances with “trending” note combinations. Rather always work with high quality ingredients and create simplistic blends that are elegant and timeless. I have bought many from the L’art & La Matiere collection. Now that I have one child in university and two others on deck. Unfortunately the finances won’t allow me to add the extraits to my collection. However I visited Holt Renfrew 6 separate times to allow myself the luxury of wearing each on skin. All of them exquisite! Well done Guerlain !

[@razvanyke]

Hello my friend, thank you for the kind feedback. Yeah, in my small collection, many scents are from Guerlain and equally many are from Amouage. Guerlain is simply stunning and true to its core, launching high quality each time. Thierry Wasser is a very bright gentleman and Delphine is a talented passionate perfume which knows what to do. Looking forward for new Guerlain releases. Good luck to you student child in the Uni : )!

Razvan, I am glad that there are fragrance reviewers, like you, who appreciate Guerlain fragrances. I am going to NYC in the next week or 2 and I am going to try all 6 fragrances from the L'Art & La Matière Les Extraits line. I am most excited to try Bergamote Fantastico & Tonka Sarrapia. Thanks for always making interesting fragrance videos.

[@razvanyke]

Ed my friend, thanks for watching this long video 😃 I tried to trim it as much as possible and still is about 20 min. Let me know once you tried them, which one you like? Take care !

[@purpleperegrine7295]

Iris Pallida was love at first sniff for me. I have ordered a bottle 😍 I have never smelled anything that is better than this

[@razvanyke]

Hey, lucky you 😃 Indeed, it's such a great scent. And will last for days .. apart from the exquisite smell.

[@wincav]

Nice reviews! Thank you

[@razvanyke]

Thank you for watching 😃

[@Pinerocks]

Great video. I tried them all yesterday in Harrods. My favourites are the Bergamot and the Vanilla 😀👍🏻

[@razvanyke]

Thank you very much ! 😃 I also like Iris quite a lot, sooo good - on a lady. Take care!

[@tashaf9976]

Rose Centifolia is my favourite.

[@razvanyke]

Hey Tasha, mine too 😃 It's very special and memorable. Thanks for watching!

[@Dina_France]

Oh, my dream 😍

[@razvanyke]

Hello Dina, yes indeed 😃 Which one you like more?

[@azizz1989]

hi regarding the tonka extrait, what is the projection?

[@razvanyke]

Hey, maximum arm's length, I would say. They last very long but will not project massively.

[@cheapimitation2242]

The Iris Extrait is one of the biggest “gotcha” scents I’ve tried. Beautiful opening that quickly dries down to a bland almond hand lotion musk. So cheap and boring smelling. At this price point I want more than a single ingredient boosted by musks, I want a full composition! Guerlain wins the prize for cynical cash grab of the year.

[@razvanyke]

That's right, it has a strong "gotcha" to it 😃 I like how it dries down, will last long.

[@jeffersonrodrigogasparmend3168]

Is bergamot perfume more masculine or feminine?

[@razvanyke]

Hey, that would be right in the middle. I wouks say 😃 Thanks for watching

[@Pinerocks]

I would say out of all of them, the most masculine

[@user-jqk-goodwill]

Where can I buy these testers?😍

[@razvanyke]

Tha are not for sale, as far as I know 😃

[@salihoutasawwuf665]

Thanks. Is Guerlain designer or niche?

[@razvanyke]

That´s a very good question ! And the answer would be "yes" ! If you look at the lower end, the L´Homme Ideal, Acqua Allegoria, etc .. are easily accessible so "designer" in form an cost. But if you look at the "L´Art de la Matiere" by the price and availability, they are into "niche" category. What do you think?

[@SummeRain783]

Designer but they have had several worldclass niche perfumers lol

[@gizellapopescu3355]

Sorry, but you are very biased. I find this collection the worst from Guerlain, little creativity and absolutely not worth the price for some soliflores. Most people will benefit more from just buying a natural flower absolute than most of these. I am a Guerlain fan, but these are a joke on customers.

[@razvanyke]

Thanks for watching.

[@guisellalosa7557]

This collection is amazing!
