Herbes Troublantes
Launched in 2021 by Guerlain Herbes Troublantes is a reworking of the beloved, discontinued EDC Un Dimanche à la Campagne in EDP form.
On me, Herbes Troublantes opens with a note of bright, cheery lemon backed by nose-tingling Calabrian bergamot. The bergamot is green, fruity-sweet and has a floral edge that links to a note of orange blossom. Together, they give an airy, serene feeling at the top of the fragrance. And then the ‘troubling herbs’ come onto the scene. Thyme is spicy and aromatic and warms the citrus/floral mix. Mint is green, refreshing, and invigorating, while rosemary is woody and camphorous. Lemon leaves are bright and citrusy and smell like fresh green grass. Together, the herbs make up a cocktail of capital ‘G’ green that nearly highjacks Herbes Troublantes, but instead sparks the green of the bergamot and ignites the orange blossom. Suddenly, the orange blossom seems to bloom, getting headier and sensuous while at the same time revealing its soapy facet that smells summery to my nose. I get a whiff of oud that bolsters the sensuality at the heart and leads to the base that’s all about musk. The musk is powdery, warm and woody and counterbalances the botanical green beautifully.
Herbes Troublantes dries down to an elegant, ethereal veil of summery freshness and gentle sensuality.
