My Friends Keep Asking Why I Smell So Expensive—Here's My Secret
Over the past couple of weeks, my friends have been dying to know what perfume I've been wearing. Every time I'm out with them, someone always comments on how good—and apparently how expensive—I smell. I'm not one to gatekeep, so here it is: Guerlain's L'Art La Matiere Spiritueuse Double Vanille Eau de Parfum. The bottle's elegant, sculptural design caught my attention, and the second I got a whiff, I was completely sold. It's this warm, woody, vanilla scent that's rich and distinctive without being heavy or overpowering—basically my dream fragrance.
And it's part of Guerlain's classic L'Art La Matiere collection, which focuses on transforming raw materials into art (fragrances, in this case). Each scent is created by Guerlain's perfumers with an immense level of creativity and precision, making the collection feel truly special. After smelling the whole lineup, I'm convinced I need them all. With the holidays coming up, these perfumes make the perfect gifts for any beauty lover in your life (hint, hint). Here are the Guerlain fragrances from Saks that impressed me most.
Warm and Woody
Vanilla and woody notes have always been my favorite—they feel rich, comforting, and quietly luxurious. These scents strike the balance between warmth and sophistication, making them a go-to for both everyday wear and special occasions.
Floral and Fresh
Floral scents are my daytime go-to. They have this fresh, polished energy that instantly lifts my mood. Each of these fragrances has its own unique floral scent, but they all share that light, airy quality that's ideal for everyday wear.
Bold and Mysterious
When I'm going out or traveling, I love switching things up with a scent that's a bit bolder and unexpected. These fragrances have that confident, mysterious edge that makes them stand out and impossible to forget.
Iconic and Timeless
Some scents never go out of style. You can wear one of these iconic scents for years and expect people to give you compliments every time you're wearing it. They're classic, chic, and have that unmistakable Guerlain elegance that stands the test of time.
