    Description

    2015 LE PHÉNIX by Les Bains Guerbois is a mesmerizing blend that embodies the spirit of revival and rebirth in the heart of Paris. Opening with vibrant cardamom and ginger, its spicy freshness quickly cedes to a heart of dignified papyrus, earthy cedar, and patchouli, weaving an air of vertical elegance. The smoky, resinous base of incense, amber, and soft musk creates a fireside warmth, balanced and persistent but never overpowering. This fragrance invites wearers to linger in the refined, contemporary echoes of classic woody-smoke scents, transporting them through time and atmosphere. Created by Michel Almairac for unisex.

    About LES BAINS GUERBOIS

    LES BAINS GUERBOIS
    Les Bains Guerbois is a Parisian fragrance brand launched in 2016 by Jean-Pierre Marois, inspired by the iconic Les Bains venue's 140-year history as a luxurious spa founded in 1885, legendary nightclub Les Bains Douches, and modern 5-star hotel. Its philosophy centers on 'Une Date, Une Histoire,' with each unisex eau de parfum capturing a pivotal year through subversive, evocative notes like aromatic amber in 1885 Bains Sulfureux, gourmand whiskey and tobacco in 1978 Les Bains Douches, crafted by master perfumers such as Michel Almairac and Dorothée Piot. What makes it unique is its storytelling of hedonistic, avant-garde Paris, blending heritage, sensuality, and cultural legend in refined, contemporary compositions.
