La Petite Robe Noire Velours Guerlain for women
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
While I don't like the original La Petite Robe noire EdP being too strong for my taste, I enjoy its lighter flankers because of therir cherry/berry & almond compositions that are done well. Legere & Couture were my day & night favorites, but when Velours was announced with the violet note, it really grabbed my attention. It didn't come to regular shops, but after one year it was released, I could finally found a bottle on internet and blind bought it.
Velours starts with a lively combination of sourcherry and citrus. Citrus evaporates quickly and sourcherry note becomes more accented. This is the most realistic, fresh, cool sourcherry note that I have ever encountered. As it settles on the skin, cherries get warmer and some sweetness is added. But the sweetnes is like a dash of powder sugar, floavoured with violets, never turnes into cherry jam. It gains a little powdery texture with almond on the base and then quietly leave the scene.
Velours is the most balanced LPRN version in my opinion. It's softer but still hides the sparkle inside, like a high quality velvet, as the name suggests. Many reviewers find it similar with Couture, but only the freshness in the operning reminds me of Couture; shining chypre Couture and quiet fruity Velours are different enough from each other. Couture has a dramatic contrast in composition, it gets darker and sweeter compared to the bright opening; Velours evolves more seamless. Couture is more alluring and attractive, Velours is more reserved and elegant.
My Legere bottle has nearly came to the end. Velours has already replaced it as my daytime LPRN being lighter and less sweet. There is not a big difference in terms of performance among these three candies (Couture lasts better on fabric because of patchouli), but as Velours being the softest one, I wish it could last longer to enjoy it for a longer time.
Very beautiful and classy. It is pretty much a clone of the Couture version, though I've noticed that middle notes differ. After a couple of hours (3h) the Velour smells more solar, spacious, while the Couture retains its fruity character.
Very snuggly, worth a bottle. Fits many occasions, an all year scent. Sillage is just right during winter time. Does not offend but it's your personal pleasure cloud :)
In cold season, it was sour. But now, warm season, it is very soft and sweet, so I like this.
After a few tests on skin, I can say that I really enjoy this version of LPRN. Guerlain probably created Velours as a replacement (and perhaps an improvement?) of the Couture version, which is my favorite of the LPRN line, but sadly discontinued. They are quite similar, although Velours is more powdery and lacks a bit in longevity, while Couture is very long lasting on my skin.
What I love most about Velours is the pistachio ice cream vibe it has, which comes from the combination of sour cherry and the almondy accord of the tonka bean. Therefore, I find this version deliciously creamy and fresh, much like an ice cream dessert on a hot afternoon. Couture, its older sister, is less gourmand, leaning more toward the fresh herbal side due to its stronger dose of patchouli mixed with vetiver and moss.
I love both versions and I'll consider buying Velours when I run out of Couture - that is, if they don't discontinue Velours too.😐
I sprayed this 15 minutes ago. I have never tried any LPRN before so I have no comparison. My journey:
First minute: Worried I made a mistake, something smells like a certain type of plastic. I quickly put down my wrist.
Fifth minute: The sharp plastic has gone away and now things are warming up a bit, but with some freshness. [Not really like any of my other fragrances, so at a bit of a loss for identifying what I smell]
10th minute: Now I am really beginning to enjoy this. The sharp smell is a perfectly balanced rose, violet, and orange, not too creamy and not too sharp. Almond is predominant over tonka. I can now pick out each note. The cherry is there, but not in a Tom Ford Lost Cherry sort of way, but more McDonald's cherry pie warm way. I don't smell the tea. Probably as it blends in as sweet tea right now.
15 minutes in: I do like it. I think I will be in love with it once I smell it in the open air. And give a later in the day update. Very nice addition for me.
Update: It fades after a couple of hours, but before that it is amazingly well blended and turns magical. I actually think the tea, which I can't smell separately makes it so aromatic, like sniffing an earl grey tea bag that has been dipped in an expensive perfume. Maybe that doesn't sound good but LPRN Velours smells much more expensive that its price. I really enjoy this and will be reaching for it as a summer semi-formal scent.
Violet + Rose = Lipstick scent....
HERE I COME GUERLAIN !!!
Cold november air blows away the last dry leaves, there on the avenue. It disperses them in a frozen vortex. I stay here watching them safely, behind my window.
'Ma Robe Velours' gives me back calm and serene harmony that reigns on typical days of celebration, spreading to the rooms that special, delicious aroma of the sparkling paper of gift packages, new wax candles, or some cosmetics and new scented products for my body care, which I usually buy at that time, in festive mood, to give new color and identity to these days.
Surprisingly amazing, it is not overly cherry-ish, plus almond abandons bitterness completely here. Well balanced. I have in store few remaining drops of this sample to wear afterwards, maybe on a snowy day, while I think that a bottle of it is a good investment in serenity, and peace for my heart.
I keep trying the endless flankers of LPRN, thinking that I can't be so cynical as to not enjoy some frivolous lowbrow fun chez Guerlain. And it's a mistake every time. If you are remotely aware of or sensitive to synthetics, stay far, far away from this one. There is a stomach-churning aquatic hum to the base of this one that makes the whole thing smell like a migraine-inducing watermelon Jolly Rancher. Pardon the brevity, but I'm going to go and scrub this one off before I pass out.
Although I have previously found the names of the LPRN flankers to be amusingly nonsensical, this one is quite apt, given that it's the Juicy Couture track suit of perfumery.
I tried the previous little black dress edp and they were just too sweet for me to cope with. Yes, you immediately can tell it's a flanker of LBD with the almond and cherry thing going on. Thankfully the floral and powdery notes here don't get smothered with sweetness. I think the violet and tea notes stop this fragrance becoming heavy and cloying.
It is quite linear. The same notes from start to finish. Violets, roses and bergamot dancing around a Bakewell tart.
A very feminine, sweet yet not heavy floral.
I get moderate sillage and longevity.
I don't like any LPRN release but this thing is amazing. It's very well-blended and rounded and a little touch of powderness makes it very smooth. To me, Velours smells very optimistic and is perfect for spring, while the original is more fall-like and slightly depressing (to my feeling). Also, it smells classy but young.
The dry-down is very cool here. I guess patchouli does its job and I get light chypre-ness under this almond-cherry pie. It makes it even classier then.
LPRN Velours is a velvety, more loveable, more elegant, version of the original EDP. This smells very close to the mother scent, same juicy sour cherry, but with more floral touch. For me the rose and violet did not stand out but rather well combined (reminded me rather to Rosa Pop) taking away the tarty angle and making it more rounded. Huge plus is that it is less overwhelming, sweetness does not opresses the real beauty.
For those who considered EDP too cloying or too much I would recommend to try this one.
Longevity: 6-7 hours.
...and keep sniffing my wrist...
After spending time with this one, and comparing it to it’s siblings, I found some very specific differences. Velours has more of a powdery touch to it of course brought in from the violets. In this I can distinctly smell the rose. A rose that is fresh, let’s say a fresh cut rose just off the bush. The rose drizzled ever so slightly with the faintest of sugar crystals. You can smell a vibrant violet. The violet in this smells like insolence. Maybe think that Robe and Insolence had a love affair. This combination to my nose gives off a bit of a lip gloss or lip balm type of smell. If you take the gloss, the perfume and blend it all together as on a lady dressed up for the day, you get Velours.
With an emphasis to my observation, I want to state the biggest detection of change is the rose. The rose is very noticeable. As with many of the Robes you get that classic infamous cherry note. The cherry of course is on stage, but its supported greatly with the rose. I’m very mixed on the is it sweet, very sweet or not as sweet? I do believe it’s sweet, maybe just not as syrupy sweet as maybe compared to others. I wouldn’t even put it in the lighter category either.
My opinion is I do believe it’s different enough to add this Flanker to your Robe collection. It’s unique enough to stand apart from some of the others.
Performance is average all around.
This new version is Yes,it's more floral and lighter but still similar like the original just less in face sweetness.
Not that dark and heavy more of a spring violet meadow with cherries.
When I compared the two this was a lot more powdery-floral with the cherry note which was very like candy-lollipop cherry note.
This version at first reminds me the Meteorites Le Parfum mixed with Insolence and a biiiig dose of La Petite Robe Noire EDP.
When You compare the two You can feel the difference but You know that this is LPRN too.
I recommend for those who want a little bit lighter EDP,but want still a dark touch from the original but without that much sweetness plus with a powdery sweet violets.
I tried it and wore it in winter,maybe in spring it's different and it will bloom on skin with more floral-powdery notes.
All in all,a lovely version,it will be lovely in spring and fall.
The longevity and sillage is absolutely amazing,it last all day and days after on skin and clothes.
It's a La Petite Robe Noire mixed with powdery candied violets with a big dose of dark smoky cherry and a pinch of fruity rose.

This new LPRN flanker has an allure. Violets with Sour Cherries and Black Rose with Tonka...One to skin test for sure!
I'm a big fan of the original LPRN EDP (was just wearing it yesterday for the hubby's birthday celebration), and have only seen maybe three or four flankers locally, all of which I liked, so I'm quite looking forward to smelling this! And its got some of my favorite notes -- cherry, almond, violet, tonka bean. Sounds good to me!
@baerro This made me bust out laughing in agreement. I see powder, I exit stage left, too.
I read few reviews and apparently it has nothing to do with lipstick scent
It is cherry scents
Weak violets
Initial reaction lasted a few seconds: Oh please God no more flankers of this. Most of them have been basically the same juice, except the blue Intense one which was a cotton candy mess.
As soon as I saw rose and violet I was intrigued again, please YES a lipstick take on this lovely scent. I have high hopes for this!
Lipstick vibe LPRN? YES PLEASE! (I am really hoping it is indeed a lipstick rose-violet note. Fingers crossed)
"The composition is a powdery -"
Aaaaaand I'm out!
interdite how funny lol...on another note I really wouldn't mind sampling this..the bottle looks lovely as usual
Powdery rose violet with black tea...I sold! Want now...oohhh and Valentines Day coming up;)
WOW!!! I want this beauty in my life !! I love LPRN EDP and I also love Insolence by Guerlain. I can imagine this being a mixture of both... Mmmmm... the sweet cherry accord blended with the powderiness, fluffiness of violets, a cosy almondy vibe and a creamy/nutty tonka yumminess...it seems a super cosy scent with a lot of feminity...
So excited to try it as it could be PERFECTION in a bottle!
When will it be released in Europe?
A very big fan of this parfum collection... guerlain is good stuff on the BUYING list.. Bold o yes..
It's at Saks.com
The most French named perfume ever?
As a LPRN fan, I have to say this is actually interesting!
I'm actually very excited for this. It has a bunch of my favourite notes: cherry, almond. And the note below from Berta15 on it being more powdery than the original makes it even more appealing. Must try!
Another flanker? I don't have any objections at Wasser's skilled nose, but he certainly doesnt have the gift of creativity... Boring
So excited still haven't smelt Black Perfecto so I have to go on a spending spree in London soon. Mon Guerlain Extrait sounds divine. Plus Black Opium Intense I am just going to have to give up eating and no new clothes.
This is lovely flanker and if you want more Guerlain released a new Mon Guerlain (2 to be precise) Mon Guerlain Bloom of Rose(EDT) and Mon Guerlain Extrait they will be available from March.
The Bloom of Rose is absolutely delightful,so fresh and absolutely NO sweetness.It's an amazing scent.
This new LPRN is also wonderful scent.It's a powdery twist on the original.Very prominent violet with cherry note on a patchouli-almond base with smokyness,just so so lovely.
"Don't judge a perfume by it's cover"
I was waiting for when we would hear about the newest Guerlain flanker *rolls eyes*
Wow another one, how many are there now? It does sound nice though and I love a good violet/rose combo.
I don't get along with cherries very well but I'm still looking forward to trying it!
Wonderful, Sanja! A bit of sour cherry with rose and tonka sounds pretty good!
