Guerlain Logo — Guerlain is the oldest perfumer French. The house was created Rue de Rivoli in Paris in 1828 by Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain, whose motto was: “Glory is fleeting, lasting only fame.” For over 150 years, it has remained family property Guerlain. Following the acquisition by the group LVMH in 1994, Guerlain is now a registered branch of the Perfume and Cosmetics of LVMH.
In 1828, after studying medical chemist in England, Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain, moved to Paris as a perfumer vinegar. The same year he founded Guerlain perfume, as a shop in the Hotel Meurice in Paris. He makes and sells sapoceti — know the spermaceti scented with natural essences — and also likes its activities by offering its first perfume eau de toilette as the Champs Scents and the King’s Garden Bouquet. It is important to England lotions, creams for skin care, as his White pearl, supposed to lighten the complexion of the skin, a cream liquefied bear grease and cream to pink snails. Will be added powders (1830), eye-to-date with Roselip, first presented in a solid paint porcelain jar, and a rose extract liquid lip. Fashion is also hygiene products, Guerlain prepares a balm to protect the breasts of nursing mothers, balm he called Baume de la Ferte and whose use will be diverted during the xx th century, since it will be used to restore flexibility to the lips.
In 1992, Jean-Paul Guerlain took over management of Guerlain. In 1994, the luxury group LVMH acquires Guerlain. In 2005, Guerlain Champs-Elysees is reopened after renovation by designer Andree Putman and architect Maxime Angeac. In the center sits a gigantic chandelier designed by Philippe Montels for Andree Putman and embedded in the perfume organ. The launch of perfumes Four Seasons, by Jean-Paul Guerlain, to celebrate the 180th anniversary of the Guerlain is achieved by 2008. In May 2008 Thierry Wasser is the new fragrance from the house.
