History

Quand vient la pluie (“When the Rain Comes”) is a landscape of a scent in a sculptural bottle. Its name is reminiscent of one of the house’s bygone classics, Après l’Ondée (“After the Rainstorm”). Composed like a prose poem, it is the work of Thierry Wasser in collaboration with Sylvaine Delacourte. A fragrance that evokes an aromatic herb garden under a sky of ‘a pure and intense blue that is suddenly dotted with dark, heavy clouds.’ In selected Guerlain boutiques.
