How Guerlain Champs-Elysees Eau de Toilette Smells: Notes & Development

Guerlain Champs-Elysees Eau de Toilette opens with melon, peach, almond, violet, black currant and anise — the first impression as it hits the skin.

The final act — the part that outlasts the working day — is vanilla, almond tree, sandalwood, benzoin and cedar.
