Entering the Guerlain universe means crossing the threshold into an exceptional world where respect for tradition and a sense of innovation are the most beautiful creations.
Guerlain has been around for nearly 170 years and for a company so deeply rooted in history, the challenge has always been to reconcile the richness of tradition with a sense of innovation, to remember its origins and to continue to face the future.
The perfumers of the last five generations, the Guerlain family, have successfully created unique harmonies, forerunners of their time. They have successfully and enviously preserved and passed on these harmonies without ever losing sight of the original values unique to the brand: luxury, expertise, imagination, exacting standards and quality.
Guerlain perfumes are also unique because their signature is inimitable: This "stamp" is a unique olfactory harmony called "Guerlinade". It is unique to Guerlain perfumers and jealously guarded by them. They include bergamot, tonka bean and vanilla.
To create perfumes that defy time and fashion, you need to invest in high-quality raw materials.
