Description
OUD LAQUÉ by Les Bains Guerbois is a multi-faceted exploration of lacquered wood, evoking the sheen and texture of polished timber through sensual, spicy, and leathery accords. The fragrance opens with cardamom and dried fruits, weaving warmth and refinement into its inviting top. A tactile heart of clove, geranium, and supple leather exudes sophistication, while the smoky depths of oud, benzoin, guaiac wood, and gurjum balsam provide an opulent, lingering finish. The perfume is elegant, quietly seductive, and smooth, capturing the timeless ambiance of the mythical Les Bains Paris. Created by Mathieu Nardin for unisex wear.

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.
