About the Brand

The Guerlain brand was founded by Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain in 1828 with the opening of the first store on rue de Rivoli in Paris. Its main areas of focus from the very beginning have included perfumery, skincare and decorative cosmetics.

In 1853, the founder presented the Eau de Cologne Impériale to Empress Eugénie and was awarded the title of official perfumer to Her Majesty. On this occasion, the historic Guerlain bee bottle was created. Since 2007, the brand has been systematically dedicated to the protection of biodiversity, sustainable innovation, climate and the protection of bees.

Behind the fragrance stands a brand associated with perfumery since 1828 and with the care of biodiversity and the protection of bees since 2007.
