French Maison Guuerlain is widely regarded as one of the oldest perfume, cosmetics and skincare brands in the world. The House of Guerlain was founded in 1828, when Pierre-François Pascal Guerlain opened his perfume store at 42, rue de Rivoli in Paris. As both the founder and first perfumer of the house, Pierre-François composed and manufactured custom fragrances with the help of his two sons, Aimé and Gabriel. Through continued success and the patronage of members in high society, Guerlain opened its flagship store at 15, rue de la Paix in 1840, and put its mark on the Parisian fashion scene.
Guerlain has been exploring, innovating and enhancing since 1828. In Fragrance, in Skincare and in Make-up. Bold designers, legendary creations, timeless know-how.
The success of the Maison under Pierre-François peaked in 1853 with the creation of Eau de Cologne Impériale for French Emperor Napoleon III and his Spanish-French wife Empress Eugénie, to celebrate her marriage to Emperor Napoleon III. This perfume earned Pierre-François the prestigious title of being His Majesty’s Official Perfumer. As ‘royal suplier’ he decorated the flacon with the bees of the Empire. The ‘Bee’ flacon, which went on to become an icon, was born. Since then, bees have permeated the history of Guerlain. The bee became the symbol of the Maison, inspiring their designs, adorning their most precious flacons, and driving their commitment to sustainable development.
Guerlain went on to create perfumes for Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and Queen Isabella II of Spain, among other royalty. Today, you don’t have to be royalty to own a piece of Guerlain. this year the iconic upscale brand celebrates its 190th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, Guerlain has released a beautiful new capsule that not only marks the important milestone, but also arrives just in time for the Holiday season 2018.
