<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>Spiritueuse Double Vanille is a woody-amber fragrance that evokes a journey far away. In this fragrance, a sheer excess of vanilla reveals its smokiness, woodiness, and generosity. Accompanied by jasmine, ylang-ylang, benzoin, and cedar, the Guerlain Perfumer is inspired by exotic escapades and long journeys by boat. This is an epic expedition lulled by scents of rum and crates of spices. Vanilla exudes bold excess, met with heady, syrupy accents of rum and cedarwood. Used as a tincture, an age-old technique perpetuated by Guerlain, the vanilla is hand-cut and cold-soaked in order to exalt its fragrance to perfection.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.
