About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Kadine is a 1911 Guerlain floral composed by Jacques Guerlain, built on a heart of heliotrope and bergamot that opens onto a base of violet, iris, and vanilla. The result is a powdery, warm-spicy profile where violet and iris dominate, softened by vanilla and lifted by the subtle citrus of bergamot. This is not a fresh floral but a dense, old-fashioned bouquet that feels like scented powder and dried petals.

Collectors of early Guerlain will find Kadine a fascinating snapshot of Jacques Guerlain's pre-war style, before the house moved toward the more famous orientals. It suits those who appreciate powdery vintage florals with a spicy warmth, and it wears best in cool weather or evening settings. The violet-iris-vanilla base gives it a soft, slightly melancholic elegance that feels intimate rather than grand. If you collect turn-of-the-century florals or want to experience an early Guerlain composition, Kadine is a rare and rewarding find.
