About This Perfume
Think powdery rose water, almond sweetness, leather warmth: that is Guerlain Black Perfecto by La Petite Robe Noire. It opens with rose water, moves into almond, may rose absolute and Grasse rose and settles on patchouli, tonka bean and black leather. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits date nights. Released in 2017.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for date nights.

The picks up close
Picture powdery rose cream with sweet vanilla for Mon Guerlain (Eau de Parfum, 2017); lavender and bergamot up top and Tahitian vanilla, Australian sandalwood and benzoin underneath. Shalimar Eau de Parfum (Eau de Parfum, 1990) feels like powdery citrus, warm incense, creamy vanilla, with bergamot and lemon first and incense, vanilla and leather at the base. Imagine sweet pear jam, spicy florals, creamy vanilla when you spray Angélique Noire (2005), starting with angelica and pear before vanilla and cedar take over.
