La Petite Robe Noire Perfume by Guerlain, What is more indispensible to a woman's wardrobe than a little black dress (la petite robe noire translated from the French )? named after the one article of clothing that always is appropriate, this is a fruity floral fragrance for women. The perfume opens with a cherry like fruity note with counter-balanced by a modern woodsy base and a violet-floral note reminiscent of rose-scented macaroons.
