<b>WHAT IT IS</b><br><br>From the L'Art &amp; La Matiere Collection. The crowning jewel of Guerlain Fine Perfumery, L&#8217;Art &amp; La Matiere is a collection of olfactory masterpieces for true lovers of all things beautiful. The House of Guerlain shapes the most aromatic raw materials to create daring fragrances with talent and passion.<br><br>In the world of perfumery, Angelique Noire performs what is known as a spectacular choreography of opposites. All too often weakly dosed due to its bitterness, this angelica flower reveals itself after coming into contact with opulent vanilla - its powerful and fascinating opposite. Accompanied by pink peppercorn and cedar, the contrast is irresistible. Seldom used by perfumers, angelica is distinguished by its verdant, bitter notes, bringing to the fragrance a breath of freshness right from the top. Half-angel, half-demon, the verdant, crisp, and herbal bitterness of angelica is kept at bay by the enveloping sweetness of vanilla. Ience. Taking inspiration from the Guerlain heritage Square Bottle (1870) and made by Pochet du Courval - historic glassmakers of the House - the L&#8217;Art &amp; La Matiere bottle is an exceptional object whose design exudes unisex sophistication steeped in modernity.
