GuerlainEpices Volees

Description Épices Volées — literally "stolen spices" — steals its heat from coriander, cardamom, and clove, then hides it under a veil of Bulgarian rose. The composition was created by Jean-Paul Guerlain in 2010 (originally released as Arsène Lupin Voyou) and reissued in 2021 under Guerlain's boutique-only L'Art & la Matière collection — a line the house sells in limited runs, largely outside standard retail. Coriander, artemisia, lemon, and bergamot open sharp and green; sage, cardamom, clove, and rose take over the heart; patchouli, sandalwood, benzoin, and labdanum settle it into a warm, resinous base. It reads aromatic and spice-forward rather than sweet — closer to a spice market at dusk than a modern gourmand. Scent Character Fresh: 33% Spicy: 22% Woody: 11% Floral: 11% Sweet: 11% Smoky/Resinous: 11% Translation: A fresh, aromatic-spicy fragrance first, with just enough floral rose and resinous depth underneath to keep it from reading purely green.

How does it project? It opens assertively for the first hour or two, then settles closer to the skin. Why is this only sold as a sample?
