Guerlain has launched Promenade des Anglais, a new fragrance in the brand's limited distribution Les Parisiennes collection. That collection is usually comprised of reissues; the last in the series was Mademoiselle Guerlain.
Promenade des Anglais is described as a 'chic Parisian escape along the French Riviera' (it is named for the promenade in Nice) and the 'soft and fresh' scent features notes of bergamot, powdery iris and fig.
Promenade des Anglais is available now from Guerlain in France, €205 for 125 ml Eau de Parfum.

I’m right there with the back story – Nice is one of my favouritest places ever. But I seem to recall that many years ago Guerlain put out one of their Aqua Allegorias based on fig and iris and unfortunately it was disappointing. At least to me. On the bright side – maybe they learned a lesson and this will be fab
I do not see what else this could be but that AA…in which case it’s comical to sell it at this price!
I will give this a sniff just because I love bergamot.
I am waiting for Ambre Éternel to be released if it comes to the US.
I was really disappointed that they didn’t bring the Shalimar Cologne here so sometimes when I see these new releases I try not to get my hopes up.
I don’t know if the Guerlain boutiques here had Shalimar Cologne or not…I would have thought so but never checked.
I asked at the folks at the Guerlain counter at Bergdorf’s and they told me it was not being released in the USA
I seriously doubt though that the SAs at Bergdorfs have any idea whether or not a fragrance that is not in general US distribution can be found at a Guerlain boutique.
Mind you, not saying it was ever here. Just saying the only definitive answer I’d take would be from Guerlain.
You never got the cologne in the US?That is so odd as it was everywhere here in South Africa!The local “Boots”(Clicks) and Dischem sold them for really cheap.They’re still around at some shops.
Powdery iris? Gimme…
The only iris re-release I want from Guerlain is Iris Ganache. Still impatiently waiting…
Very glad I went beserk and stocked up….
Powdery Iris?Yes please.Fig?No thanks
Skip…..
I’m surprised to find no specific review attributed to the legendary Liu. Also I just tried this at the boutique today and I prefer Apres-l’ondee over Promenade des Anglais.
