There are perfume manufacturers - and there is Guerlain, the perfumer. More than 626 fragrances have been created since the Company was founded in 1828 by Pierre-Francois-Pascal Guerlain. This Perfume and Vinegar manufacturer laid down a golden rule that still holds good today.
Unforgettable fragrances that define the ultimate in quality-only perfection can be good enough for Guerlain. Which explains why its products are so enduring.
Perfume creates a glimpse of a dream in our most lucid thoughts. For a fragrance to be great, it must first and foremost be original and easy to remember, have a harmonious volume, a lasting effect, a personality, clarity and strength. You might say it is developed like a symphony. Just like a musician who has to know the notes before harmonising the chords, the perfumer has to memorise the different olfactory notes and their combinations. This search for fragrances is endless, since nature itself offers and innumerable choice. But a perfume can never be considered as a simple mixture, it is a composition that can become a genuine work of art.
