Guerlain Royal Extract II ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 11 May 2020 16 Comments

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…

      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.
