Received this as my chosen scent from Scentbox. After wearing for 2 weeks I ended up buying a full bottle because I like it so much. I get tons of compliments and people asking what I'm wearing. I like it a lot because after putting it on, it's not something I smell the rest of the day on myself. I can smell it when I smell my wrist but it's not nauseating. A win for me.

I totally agree with your opinion on this fragrance. I tested it on a blotter 2 weeks ago in a store because the sales lady was really excited to represent their newest addition to their Guerlain shelf! I was like, meh! The smell felt like encountering a boneless characterless apologetic girl! I didn't even keep the blotter! Also, the strength and sillage seemed really bad. I haven't checked the notes and I was surprised to hear about the lavender. I like lavender and I'm pretty sure I know the smell since I've been drinking lavender tea for some months now.

I bought a sample first coz I’ve blind bought too many hyped perfumes that KZbin reviewers say it’s just so good and it ends up being a boring weak basic floral. As this one is. I trust you tho. You’ve never let me down. I guess the women who love this one really have not smelt many perfumes coz I’ve smelt over a thousand perfumes maybe more and own about 500. So I’ve smelt the very best, from $4,000 a bottle to $25 a bottle. And everywhere in between so if I tell u this mon Guerlain is CRAP you can believe me. I’ll keep the 5ml sample and use it to perfume guest room sheets and drapes. It’s weak enough not to bother anyone.

Four years since your review. Every time I have a yearning for Mon Guerlain I have the same "MEH" reaction. I've tried it twice. I read reviews and watch your video and they help me remember that it's just not a memorable Guerlain scent. I love Guerlain and have a lot of them in my collection. But there's something about this one (and it's flankers) that I cannot pull the trigger on. Guerlain has so many better vanillas. Go figure.

My dad had a lavender plant when I was a kid and I used to tear off handfuls of it and rub it in my hair and on my arms. Poor plant v__v Now I can wear it in my perfumes though! And in my soap, shampoo, conditioner, put satchets of it in my drawers, hug a lavender-stuffed pillow... Etc. I agree that Mon Guerlain smells common. Its vanilla is similar to the one in SDV though (a bit more powdery), so it smells pretty high quality for the price. Also choosing AnJo as the face of this fragrance was curious. Imo she doesn't really fit with its aura.

If it was to honour her mother, it's even more of a shame that they, apparently, didn't bother to produce a more convincing fragrance. I'm no fragrance expert, but even I know that none of those ingredients are naturally pink, or red. Also, unless a perfume is made from exclusively natural and very rare materials, I really don't see the excuse for only using 4 notes? Sticking film stars on promotional material should not be considered enough to sell a fragrance. They should still work on the fragrances properly and make them, at least, seem genuine and well crafted.

Thank you for the review. A lot of perfume lovers agree with your take on this fragrance. I have not smelt Mon Guerlain. I instinctively felt it was not going to be a composition I would find very pleasing, unfortunately. However, a house must endeavour to be relevant to newer generations. I cannot blame Guerlain for doing this even though I would have loved another masterpiece such as L'Heure Bleue, Shalimar, Mitsouko, Samsara, and Mahora which I believe is also brilliant. What I would like to know is if you intend to review Guerlain's wonderful Habit Rouge and/or Vetiver ever? Both are from their back catalog. I am unfamiliar with the latter, but Habit Rouge is a beautiful, woody aromatic that is very unisex in my opinion. I love the rose note in it. I hope you will consider reviewing Habit Rouge in its vintage composition and perhaps Vetiver, too. After all, the legendary J-P Guerlain composed them both. :)

As a guy who hasn't ever purchased a perfume marketed towards women (although most my fragrances are niche-unisex), this was the first "female" fragrance I've ever purchased (and the first designer perfume this year/ in a while). I totally agree there is a masculine edge to it, but its blended with lavender in a way no traditional mens fragrance ever has which drew me to it. I also don't think it's very stand outish, but maybe that's what drew me to it, it's a nice, sweet, floral, albeit semi-masculine, safe fragrance-and we all need a few safe fragrances.

I was really looking forward to this review from you. Thank you for your honesty! I've been travelling a lot in the past three weeks and I feel like this perfume has been chasing me through every airport... I tried it three times and each time I thought, "What am I missing?" And boy, are those ladies in duty-free pushing it. A woman in Moscow even sprayed it onto a folding fan and wafted it over me, insisting it was the greatest thing ever. (Seriously, she had the full line of L'Art et la Matière there, as well as all the classics.) I get the lavender at the open, which fades pretty fast, but then after that it's just "meh". What's really annoying is the dry down, which is so sweet and sticky that the pregnant woman I was travelling with insisted I scrub myself before I got on the plane because she couldn't stand sitting next to me. It's not that it's so much bad, as disappointing. I realized, later, that it smells a bit like Noir Tease from Victoria's Secret, which means it smells like a ton of stuff out there that shouldn't be expensive or carry the glorious Guerlain name.

I was able to get a good size sample of this and I agree it's not so special especially from guerlain where 1 expects extraordinary. Very sweet but when I wear it the people around me get vanilla and it only lasts about 3 hours on my skin but then again not much lasts long. Would I purchase a full size bottle, naw I already have a couple sweet vanilla fragrances and this was not making me say I need this. Nice honest review sweety, keep it up. 🌸

Thanks!! Oh there are so so many I can see why it would be difficult to choose. So, what kind of smells do you usually like? They have many fragrances as well as many "Collections" of fragrances within their line.

Cool!!! I'm glad you love it. It certainly is very pretty when it's in the air. I just expect more from Guerlain. :)

It has a lot of TONKA in it, which smells a lot like almonds. :) So you're right!
