Guerlain Baiser de Russie

Guerlain reissues Moscow, a 2009 fragrance from the Une Ville, Un Parfum collection, as Baiser de Russie, in the Les Parisiennes series: "Faithfully following the very vocation of the collection, Les Parisiennes welcomes in 2018 a deeply regretted and highly demanded fragrance: Moscow, from the collection "Une ville, Un parfum". Baiser de Russie pays tribute to the Muscovite and her "boho chic" look, reinventing with audacity the richness of Russian traditional bohemian style. Pine needles, Jasmine and Cranberry notes blend in a fruity musky floral and ultra-feminine perfume which echoes the heartbeat that pounds through the Russian capital." $280 for 125 ml Eau de Parfum at Neiman Marcus.
