Guerlain has launched Royal Extract II, a limited edition luxury fragrance exclusive to Harrods.
Stalwart Houses from opposite sites of the Channel team up for a fragrance that is simultaneously exotic and classic with the Guerlain x Harrods Royal Extract II parfum. Named for Guerlain’s founder, Pierre-François-Pascal, who debuted his Royal Extract of Flowers for the courts of Europe in the early 19th century, this tribute scent is bottled in Harrods’ signature colours, while its olfactory heart takes the wearer on a fairytale journey through a wild forest as notes of wood, moss and potent flowers gradually reveal themselves.
The notes include pink pepper, petitgrain, orange blossom, cedar, hyacinth, moss, galbanum and vetiver.
Guerlain Royal Extract II is £450 for 125 ml Parfum.

The name makes me think they’re squeezing royals to get the ingredients for the perfume.
Squish… squish…
Ack!
oh my!
The notes sound good to me. I would love to to try.
However I am still lemming for that Shalimar bottle with all those flowers
Me too l2sg and I have my daughter looking for it’s arrival @ Nordstroms corporate for us both and will ‘signal’ when we get the news.
Holy moly. I don’t even care what the perfume smells like.
😀
You are exactly the customer they want 😉
£450 for 125 ml
? Really?
So thats what royal implies, ‘Only or people with a ROYAL amount of money’ ?
Also what “exclusive to harrods” implies 😉
It’s not Harrods, it’s Horrids ;-
😉
The “Emperor’s New Perfume” maybe?
450? At least put in in a colored bottle.
Why is it Royal Extract II ? Was there a Royal Extract I at some point In the past ? ???
I just re-read the press release properly so it makes more sense now – but shouldn’t it be ‘Royal Extract of Flowers II’ ? ?
Yes, 2014, also Harrods exclusive, supposedly it was basically a reissue of Guet Apens/Attrape Coeur.
