Asking me to pick a favorite fragrance note is like asking a parent to choose a favorite child. But, if we're being totally honest, all parents have a slight affinity toward one (even if they won't admit it). But, I digress. A good musk has to be, without a doubt, one of my most beloved scents to experience because they rarely, if ever, miss the mark. I guess Guerlain is on the same page, and the brand has released an entire line to prove it.
Launched on April 6, the Les Eaux Eau de Toilette (EDT) Collection is a line of musk fragrances, inspired by fabrics and the real life moments associated with them. “Les Eaux is rooted in a singular and intimate idea: the sensation of fabric on skin,” Delphine Jelk, Guerlain’s director of perfume creation and master perfumer, tells me. “The collection draws its inspiration from textiles—the way they move, comfort, and become intertwined with personal memories. Each fragrance is anchored in a specific material, but also in the emotion it carries, translating tactile sensations into olfactory expressions.”
