oh no no no... I can't like any more Guerlains, I'm too confused on what to buy next as it is :-( But alas, this one has grabbed my attention. What a beauty! Not as jaw dropping as Mitsouko or L'Heure bleue, but still leaps and bounds over most of what is offered today. Previous reviewers have labeled this as 'creamy', and I can understand why. Not too sweet, however, wears close to the skin and is just yummy. sigh. I am trying to wean myself from Guerlain so I can explore other houses, but this isn't the fragrance that will kick me out the door.


Mitsouko is somehow sharp and quite heavy, "dusty" fragrance compared to Guet-Apens. Guet-Apens is softer, fruitier and really creamy.
It makes me feel as if I was walking alone down the dusty countryside road on a very hot summer day, dust tickles my nose, the air is hot and dry but at the same time wind brings the smell of juicy ripe peaches from the garden which I cannot see. I love how Guet-Apens makes me feel! It is lovable, romantic fragrance with the edge to it.
Guet-Apens has the classic Guerlain base and a lovely sillage. Simply adorable!


Notes include:
Top: Rose, jasmine, tuberose, violet
Heart: peach
Base: amber, musk, vanilla
Someone has described Attrape-Coeur (to give it its current name) as a "creamy Mitsouko." I'm not sure that's very clear, but it is certainly related to Mitsouko, with its peachy heart. I cannot wear Mitsouko; it smells of waxed floors and bitter herbs on me. I prefer this one, with its lovely violet and rich, textured rose. The ambery vanilla drydown is rich as brandy. A real asset in the Guerlain line, and a must-try if you like the classic Guerlains. Gorgeous.
I do not understand the chypre designation. This one is, to my nose, heavily ambery and more oriental than chypre.
