Update: the description at Hudson's Bay...

From the Les Absolus d'Orient Collection. Les Absolus d'Orient celebrates the ancient and intimate link that binds Guerlain to the East and the House perfumers' love for its exceptional raw materials. This collection is made up of fragrances each composed in homage to these woods and these unique notes: an invitation to dream and get away from it all.

Epices Exquises is the evocation of a sensory journey. Thierry Wasser has captured the essence of an irresistibly oriental fragrance: the spicy aromas of cardamom coffee. Like the warm and exhilarating wisps of this coffee, Epices Exquises blends a warm, full-bodied and sensual base, tinged with black pepper and woody notes of oud, patchouli and sandalwood, with refreshing, subtly overdosed facets of cardamom, notes of pink peppercorn and green and fresh angelica. A sublime and surprising contrast between hot and cold in an explosion of fine spices.
