Perfumes by Guerlain are often regarded as strongly inspired by the scent of confections due to a common vanilla and amber accord in many of their fragrances. This unique attribute present in many is often refered to by many perfumers as the "Guerlinard". A perfume of the same name was release by the house in 1921.
