The first modern perfume

Capacity : 75 ML

A legend of androgynous love, the ambiguity of lavender and vanilla

Spicy notes bloom from a warm ambery facet to play ingeniously against an aromatic, fresh heart filled with lemon and lavender notes. Meanwhile, woody vanilla notes bring bold structure and vibrating personality to the fragrance.

HOUSE SECRETS

Jicky initiated the creation of "abstract perfumery" as opposed to "figurative perfumery". With its interplay of unique facets, it was the first in the perfume world to have such a trail and tenacity. This forerunner of new modern olfactory creations is the founding father of the legendary Shalimar.

A LEGENDARY BOTTLE

Designed by Raymond Guerlain in 1912, its iconic “inverted heart” bottle is underscored with graceful scrolls typical of Art Nouveau. Its avant-garde stopper, in the form of a hollowed heart, evokes the delicate romanticism of this perfumery masterpiece and represented a real technical feat at the time.
