guerlain Mon Guerlain Eau de Zeste
Guerlain’s Mon Guerlain Eau de Zeste arrives as a bright, sun-drenched flanker to the beloved 2018 original. While the original Mon Guerlain built its reputation on a rich, powdery vanilla-lavender core, Eau de Zeste pivots toward a sparkling citrus opening that instantly signals freshness and joy.
Created by the same duo—Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk—this edition retains the signature Tahitian vanilla and benzoin base but amplifies the mandarin and bergamot top notes. The result is a fragrance that feels lighter, more effervescent, yet still recognizably part of the Mon Guerlain family.
Launched as a limited-edition Eau de Toilette in 2018, Eau de Zeste was designed for those who love the original but crave a more casual, daytime-friendly option. It has since become a staple for spring and summer wardrobes, offering a delicate balance between zest and creaminess.
