A CREATION
MADE WITH
DARING IS A
PROMISE OF WONDER AND
PURE EMOTION
For almost two centuries, Guerlain has been in love with everything that beauty encompasses.
Thrilled at the idea of an ingenious new pencil stroke.
Delighted at each step of creative daring.
At Orphin, our fragrance production site in the Yvelines department, the "Dames de table" perform the traditional craftsmanship rituals with their skilled hands, using artful barbichage and baudruchage techniques, and applying wax seals. This know-how enhances the most beautiful Guerlain bottles with even more character, making them into works of art.
Today, this manufacturing tradition continues in the heart of Cosmetic Valley at two production sites using artisanal expertise and cutting-edge technology. Fragrance is produced in Orphin, Yvelines and Skincare and Makeup in Chartres, Eure-et-Loir.
Since establishing its first factory in the shadow of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris’ Place de l’Étoile neighbourhood in 1828, the House has never left France.
In recognition of its exceptional expertise, the Guerlain House has been recognized as a "Living Heritage Company" (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant). This state-awarded label, issued by the Ministry of the Economy, has been given to the company since first creation in 2005.
In 1828, the founding of Guerlain coincided with the opening of a first boutique at the heart of Paris. Since then, we have cultivated a Boutique Philosophy that we hold dear: welcoming clients to “our places”, offering an unforgettable interlude, revealing and enhancing. Our Boutiques are designed like exquisite jewel cases, crafted by the most talented artists and artisans.
68, Champs-élysées
Since 1914, it has been the legendary address that allows the brand to shine from Paris to the four corners of the globe. A Temple of Beauty. A Homage to Art. A prestigious and daring expression of the Maison. A place that invites exploration.
" An address synonymous with the exceptional on the most beautiful avenue in the world. "
In 1939, Guerlain opened one of the world’s first beauty institutes on the 1st floor of 68, Avenue des Champs-Élysées.
Today, our Institutes & Spas carry on this tradition of excellence, embodied by settings that are as exclusive as the treatments offered.

Our founder, Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain, created l'Eau de Cologne Impériale for the Empress Eugénie on the occasion of her marriage with the Emperor Napoleon III. At the time, he decorated Guerlain bottles with bees, symbols of the Empire and a festoon motif, inspired by the tiles adoming the top of the column of the Place Vendôme. The "Bee Bottle" is born. It will become an icon.
The trajectories of Guerlain and the Bee – which becomes the symbol of our Maison – have been interlinked ever since.
The Bee inspires our creations and decorates our most precious bottles. Seriously endangered today, it continues to guide our commitment to sustainable development.
For more than 12 years, we have placed its conservation at the heart of our actions. A commitment driven by a duty to act and pass on our legacy to future generations. A commitment carried out with conviction and humility by all of our teams worldwide in the Name of Beauty.
We act for biodiversity, eco-design, climate and solidarity. Above all, we protect one of our planet’s most important treasures: bees.
