Is this fragrance a new creation or a renamed version of an older scent?+−
Épices Volées is essentially a rebranding of Arsène Lupin Voyou from 2010. Guerlain moved the scent into the L'Art & La Matière collection with a new name, but it retains the original spicy-woody character created by Jean-Paul Guerlain.
How does it perform in terms of longevity and sillage?+−
It offers above-average performance for a spicy-woody scent. Most owners report it lasts for a significant portion of the day with moderate projection, meaning it stays noticeable to those around you without becoming overbearing.
Which seasons are most appropriate for wearing this fragrance?+−
It is highly versatile but excels in the transitional weather of fall and spring. The warmth of the cardamom and clove handles the cold well, while the bergamot and sage provide enough freshness for milder days.
Is this suitable for a workplace or office environment?+−
Yes, it is frequently cited as an excellent business scent. Its powdery, woody dry down is sophisticated and "buttoned-up," making it professional rather than "sporty" or overly aggressive.
