Description
Les Bains Guerbois Damier is a striking dance of opposites, fusing sharp peppers and cool aldehydes with a creamy, musky milky sandalwood base. The scent opens with a bold, spicy wave, invoking the thrilling contrast of a Parisian checkerboard—dark, vibrant pepper quickly softened by creamy milk and airy jasmine. As it transitions, smooth sandalwood, earthy patchouli, translucent musks, and woody cedar provide comfort, refinement, and intrigue. Vegan and uncompromising, Damier perfectly balances edginess with intimacy for a memorable signature. Created by Fanny Bal for all genders.

CashmeranAbout 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.
