My ultimate reason for searching out L'Heure Bleue is because I am a great admiirer of Maria Tallchief, America's Native American Ballerina! I am Native American and I read that was the choice George Balyantine choose for her and that she still wears it - I was curious and had to have it. Upon receiving it I wasn't sure how I liked it but after it absorbed with my body chemicals it is a heavenly feminine elegant scent! Thank you so much! Wanda Blacksmith Peacock Rapid City, SD
I bought this for nostalgic reasons, This is a scent I remember my mother wearing. I thought it had been discontinued. a bit powdery for my taste, but it brings back pleasant memories. I tend to purchase and wear the old scents. Don't much care for this new flavor of the month unisex scents.
What history the house of Guerlain has! This particular beauty was launched back in 1912 and it's still as stunning now as I'm sure it was then. On initial application this reminds me of Chanel #5, although Chanel is famous for aldehydes and I do not believe aldehydes were used back in 1912. In any case, it's what I would call a floral-amber scent. As the scent dries down I get a very soft floral with lots of powdery notes from the amber. Not sure what all the notes in this are, but it is so well-blended that I can't really pick out any one note predominant over another - they all mingle together so well. Love this! The English translation of "L'Heure Bleue means "blue hour", and the inspiration for this scent was supposed to have been the blueish twilight of a pre-World War I Paris skyline - how romantic!
I'm not a huge fan of most Guerlain fragrances due to their bizarre vanilla drydown, so please take my review with a grain of salt, but I do think that L'Heure Bleue is one of the most wearable Guerlains. It starts out as a powdery mess, but eventually the usual vanilla Guerlainade kicks in and blends with the powder to tone it down. I can see why other people like it, but it's a little too "matronly" for my tastes if you know what I mean. Still decent as far as Guerlain classics go.
L'Heur Bleue, the blue hour between daylight and night, a time to stop for quiet contemplations, for the solemn vesper bells. A thinking person's perfume of impeccable age and lineage. It opens on a bergamot and lemon sunset that gives over to the hues of twilit iris and jasmine, very soft, and finally falling gently to to the vanillic base of restful night.

Peaches, yes I love them, by not enough to wear them. I wanted to get a good recognition for the smell of Escape Cologne for Men by Calvin Klein and I immediatly thought UNISEX. However it does stay on all day.
