GUERLAIN Jicky

Guerlain's first modern perfume

Jicky is part of the Les Légendaires de Guerlain collection.

A collection made up of emblematic fragrances created over a century ago by five generations of perfumers. Legendary and profoundly innovative perfumes for their time, which make up a unique olfactory library, an incomparable and incomparable treasure that the Maison Guerlain is committed to perpetuating.

Why Jacky? Aimé Guerlain kept the loving memory of a young woman named Jicky, to whom he paid tribute with one of his most beautiful olfactory creations. Coincidentally, his nephew Jacques's nickname was also Jicky.

Jicky is presented in the mythical "inverted heart" bottle. This bottle was designed in 1912 by George Chevalier as the quintessence of femininity: a subtle combination of curves and lines, rounded and harmonious contours, and a stopper carved in the shape of an inverted heart.

In 1889, Aimé Guerlain created Jicky, his first masterpiece. It was immediately classified as "the first modern perfume". Of a complex nature, it is also the first unisex creation of perfumery. It marks the beginning of emotional perfumery, which no longer tries to copy the aromas of flowers, but to arouse emotions.

Oriental Fougere. Contrasted, dynamic, extraordinary. The spicy notes, which blossom in contact with the warmth of the oriental facet, skilfully play with the aromatic and fresh heart of lemon and lavender notes. At the bottom of this daring composition, there are woody and vanilla notes that bring vitality and personality to the fragrance.

Main Note: Oriental
