The much-anticipated sultry new scent from Guerlain was inspired by the most classic piece of a woman’s wardrobe—the little black dress. The ultra-feminine bottle is a replica of Guerlain’s famous L’Heure Bleue and Mitsouko fragrances, with the curves of the bottle mimicking the graceful line of a woman’s shoulders. The French perfume house, which is among the oldest in the world, turned to visual artists Kuntzel+Deygays to create a sleek, sophisticated Parisian character to embody its fragrance. Guerlain describes La Petite Robe Noire as a “flirty and amorous fragrance that dances on the skin, just as the La Petite Robe Noire character dances through the streets of Paris.” Ooh la la!
