La Belle Noire
A lovely Parfuma here on Parfumo, who recommended La petite robe noire to me, brought this fragrance to my attention. She insisted that I have to test him because he was so great. And so yesterday I went to the perfumery with the big turquoise D to test it. The super friendly saleswoman explained to me, how with Chanel and Dior fragrances you don't have to wait after spraying on Guerlain, because the fragrance is immediately there. And she was right! The fragrance is present immediately after spraying. There's no need for tons of alcohol to evaporate. I was delighted. It smelled of these delicious huge black cherries, nicely rounded off by the liquorice. Quite sweet, but still dark and mysterious. The creamy almond and vanilla that followed harmonized perfectly with the cherry. It smelled of said delicious cherries with almond cream and vanilla. And indeed I could sniff a little musk in the background and - great - the smoky tea! It is precisely the liquorice, the almond and the smoky teeny note that ensure that La petite robe noire does not degenerate into a petty amniotic fluid. I find this fragrance to be an all-round success. Suitable for the cold season, evening and black wardrobe. I think it radiates something elegant, fine, extravagant and at the same time dark and warm. To make a long story short, I did the saleswoman my favor and that I will wish myself this fragrance for Christmas. She then kindly gave me a small sample so that I could also get the right version. This morning I sprayed myself with joy some of the sample and was immediately wrapped again in this wonderfully dark and feminine cherry scent. And what can I say? At lunch I promptly got a compliment from my mother that I would smell so good and the scent would suit me so well. And even my father, who often finds perfume too strong, found it smells good.

Conclusion: with La petite robe noire you have a wonderfully elegant, feminine and dark fragrance at hand that fits perfectly into the evening.

Instant nausea and headaches in a bottle
will I ever learn from my bad blind purchases ?
...I find it pungent, tart, and with that overpoweringly fruity mon cherie touch, just disgusting.
In addition this linear and constant (apparently consisting only of head notes) scent...disappointing.
after 3 attempts which resulted in nausea & headaches, I know now: Unfortunately we really won't be friends anymore.

Sweet, sweeter, sweetest
The little black dress was my first Guerlain.
And love at first spray.
Gourmand scents are at the top of my list. I just love it when it smells delicious. Almond, fruit, licorice and vanilla always puts me in my grandma's bakery. Nothing like evoking memories with scents.
This one takes me back to my youth, without that I would have smelled it at the time... (there was him also not yet)
I feel like I'm 10, full of anticipation to get some of grandma's delicious cookie dough right away. It's warm, the wood stove is burning, it's bitterly cold outside. Grandma has made a kiddie punch, it smells like citrus, cherries, vanilla and almonds. I am happy, feel sheltered, and am filled with anticipation.
The scent develops wonderfully on me. At first it is fresh, citrusy and tangy, but only lasts a short few minutes, then the cherry, almond and vanilla come to the fore. The trio is a well-rehearsed team that is only half as nice without each other. I hardly notice the flowers.
This fruit-vanilla-marzipan bomb remains - for hours. After some time, musk and patchouli joins in and it develops slightly smoky but not sultry but ehr velvety.
All in all, the durability and silage is quite decent. After 6 h I would but already prefer Nachsprühen because it is me then no longer enough gourmantisch. I wear the also in the summer, Vorhallen on such rainy days like today.
Love's maximum

Oh la la ;D
I admit this is my first Guerlain fragrance, especially THE first Guerlain fragrance I've ever liked! Shalimar has always been too much for me... Mon Guerlain wasn't a favorite of mine either, despite the more open testing I was always bothered by the lavender note:( I know that sounds stupid now! But as a perfume lover or collector I think you should already own at least 1.Guerlain fragrance why... i do not know myself so exactly:D Anyway since I have reordered my favourite mascara from Lancome I got a Müsterchen from the la petite robe noir edp with me... Openly admitted I noticed at the beginning that, small Müsterchen not because I was skeptical whether I would like that at all, since I have made no pleasant experiences with the Guerlain fragrances ... For a long time I couldn't ignore the little Müsterchen:D...
La petite robe noir just sounded so tempting to me! Since I myself almost only wear black clothes;))).
Since I wore no perfume on this day, I gave myself 2.sprayer on my sweater ... But this time I wanted to surprise myself and didn't look at Parfumo;) I wanted to test myself and see how good my nose really is;D...

The scent!:)...
When spraying on I smelled a raspberry note, I didn't think there was anything big... Admittedly I LOVE raspberry fragrances but because of the name I had expected more, so I didn't pay much attention to the fragrance anymore...
Of course I could only smell berry notes for 5 minutes, which are very sweet but not artificially sweet! There were simply pleasant airy and syrupy berry notes but in a good way and white! I went in the kitchen to help my mother cook:) She looked at me with big eyes and said: "But you smell good! Suddenly I knew what she meant! I was suddenly like a frostbite! I smelled like out of nowhere the finest cherry note!*-* It was such a juicy but at the same time such a wicked + seductive cherry note*-* The almond note.... WOW!
I could repeat that word 100 times. Again! JUST WOW! The almond note harmonized so perfectly with the cherry note! Something I have to admit La petite robe noir reminds me a bit of Lost Cherry from TF! It has how I find a little resemblance! The fragrance itself is not a dupe but a beautiful and still very high quality alternative! The smoky tea note I personally just find mega!
The whole fragrance process is and remains sooo nicely smoky!:) And I just love it when a scent is smoky! This has something very seductive and mysterious about it!:) In my opinion, the rose is very sensual with this fragrance, especially in the course of the fragrance! Even if she is not very present I smell her from time to time, she also gives the fragrance a light feminine touch;) The berry notes nevertheless remained very present! What didn't bother me personally at all, I think the fragrance itself remained interesting!)
I have something to say personally! The scent is not strong! But also not easy!
Depending on the dosage, it can be worn all year round!:)

Alsoooo I can only say I am mega happy!:D And above all I have fallen in love with this fragrance extremely strong! It's just... Sexy!;D H+S is quite good as I find it, keeps with me all day long!:) I have already received many compliments for the fragrance itself:) Many said that the very special and the other smells like the smells that one smells today to day überralral. And of course I am of the same opinion!:) What is your opinion about this fragrance?:)

How I'm eating into myself in the little black dominoes.
This fragrance is my first encounter with Guerlain. And it wasn't love at first sight.
I was looking for a Christmas present for my husband and since it became a perfume again, I got La Petite Robe Noire as a sample with.
The little sample lay around for a while and fell into my hands again after a few days. Sprayed on and shrugged his shoulders. The little black one just didn't suit me. Had I perhaps eaten too many dominoes? I don't think it's gonna work out with us.
At some point, hours later, when I wanted to rest my head in the position of a thinker, the little black girl shot me in the nose again.

What the fuck? You're still here?
And suddenly I fitted into the little black one and it stood perfectly on me and again I was reminded of dominoes.

But why didn't I like it at first? The next day, I gave it another shot. Was it the top notes? No, I really liked them this time, although I can't sniff out any lemons apart from the fruits.
Maybe it was me, wasn't it? Maybe I didn't have the self-confidence to dress in the little black one in the morning. And why did I feel like dominoes again?

You could say it was love at second sight. And I fell so in love that La Petite Robe Noire became my signature scent. Since I am already a black bearer, the little black one also suits me in the office.

Durability is insane. I sniff the sweet cherries, the hearty almond that smells like marzipan and the delicate rose on my wrist all day long In the base the scent is very dark, but I like it. Is it the smoky tea combined with the vanilla? In my opinion it is the only fragrance in the whole series that has earned the name La Petite Robe Noire.

And now, every time the pre-Christmas season comes, I buy 5 packs of dominoes and feed myself into my little black one.
Definitely a picture for the gods!

One of the pillars of Guerlain's rejuvination process. Both Mon Guerlain and Homme Idéal seem to stem from this cherry-tonka-nilla sweetie

Starts with sweet intense cherry and transitions into bitter almondy cherry pit. Finishes fresher and close to the body.

The bottle is very refined ( and the price is high), but I find this gourmand perfume by Guerlain very commercial . Anyway, pleasant

Smells very artificial on my skin, like cup cake flavourings. Also reminds me of cherry cough syrup, e.g. SudaFed. Very long lasting.
