Guerlain
Jicky House, the legendary of perfume industry was founded in 1828 by
Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain. Initially Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain
created special perfume products for each customer selling personal care items
supplied from the neighboring England,
though later on he made his mind to create his own perfume line creating
exclusive fragrances for many personalities. And soon after, he became the
official provider for the royal families in Europe.
After the death of Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain, the Guerlain House was
charged by his son Aimé who entered into the history of the world perfume
thanks to Jicky fragrance created in 1889 that became the pre-image of many
modern fragrances. Actually Jicky created by Aimé Guerlain appeared to be the
first «contemporary» perfume.
There are
two versions that explain why Aimé Guerlain decided to call it its debute Jicky,
no way other. The first version is the romantic love story on how the 27-year old
Guerlain got friends with a young British lady called Jicky by him. After the
death of his mother, the heir of the perfumery empire had to come back to Paris, lonely, since the cold English woman shared his
feelings and preferred in the native Great Britain. Years after with the
aim to honor his beloved, Aimé Guerlain called his first fragrance Jicky,
staying an old bachelor who devoted his heart to the only lady. There is more
prosaic version of origin of Guerlain Jicky. Jicky was the nickname of the nephew
to Aimé, Jacques Guerlain, the great-to-be perfumer, who presented to the world
such iconic fragrances as Guerlain Mitsouko, L'Heure Bleue and Shalimar. Long before
his nephew who turned into the huge and the most talented perfumers, Aimé
Guerlain also contributed a lot to create the revolutionary item, in particular,
he built up his debit scent on unique notes that has never been used in
perfumery before.
Until Jicky appeared, the perfumers living in the end of the
XIX century preferred plain and easily recognizable compositions with pure
flowery notes of rose, jasmine and lavender. At that time the fragrance was not
worn applied onto the skin but onto the handkerchief to keep the scent for
longer time. Jicky grew to become the first fragrance throughout the perfume
history where the natural ingredients were nicely blended with synthetic ones.
The basic perfume blends of the debut fragrance by Aimé Guerlain included
synthetic notes of coumarin created shortly before he was born and notes of
vanilla blended with the intensive and great note of zibet. Yet, Guerlain Jicky
became the first «multifaceted» scent with ingredients that were hard to
recognize unlike those of other scents.
Guerlain
Jicky fragrance is perfectly the pre-image of the brand new unisex scents when
the scent composition does not actually include traditional blends of notes that
are typical to women fragrances. Therefore, within the first several years as
the scent was marketed, it was mostly used by men since the blend of «manly» notes
and austere square shape of the bottle cried that the perfume was created for
men. Moreover, Aimé Guerlain intended to use the synthesized note of coumarin
to launch the perfume for men, though later he decided against it in favor of Jicky.
The women appreciated and loved the perfume by Aimé Guerlain some time later,
in the beginning of the XX century when the iconic scents by Jacques Guerlain
were openly launched being revolutionary to turn the concepts about perfume for
women upside down and was one of the perfumers who introduced and set trend for
the original and spicy scents.
When Aimé
Guerlain evaluated the success of Guerlain Jicky with men, he proceeded to
creation of the true manly scent for men called Mouchoir de Monsieur, based on
the unique perfume blend of Jicky though exclusively launched for the strong
and brave men.
The
original Guerlain Jicky was opened with the citric accord of lemon, bergamot,
tangerine, and lavender the heart of the scent includes the notes of coumarin,
rosemary and sweet basil, and the blend of intensive aroma of sandal, opopanax,
broad bean tonka and iris. Guerlain Jicky always made a woman promising,
seductive and notable, since the scent made by Aimé Guerlain was such
intensive, rich and gorgeous.
Lingerie for women was just the plain underwear until the 20th century when it became the mean self-expression, as the subject of esthetic admiration. A piece of lingerie seen in between the women wear looked quite shocking to be shame and no one thought of designing luxury items based on lingerie, leaving alone works of art. Today every woman dreams of having a pair, or even more, of luxury and high quality lingerie to associate with sexuality, sensibility and attraction with male.

The house also launched a number of celebrated fragrances as Casmir, Wish, Madness and Infiniment. Despite the long and solid history of the brand, it appeared only recently in the market of fragrances with the first fragrance Chopard launched only in 1992. Six years later, in 1996, the Chopard House presented its Mira-Bai, the fragrance which is still in favor among women keen on oriental scents. Mira-Bai shows no intentions to compete with such a fashion-setter in the sphere of oriental compositions as Guerlain Shalimar, though the fragrance by Chopard takes its niche among the classic perfumes in the market of oriental perfume.
Perfume launched y the Japanese brands or the one inspired by the Japanese culture is something so special in the international market of perfume. Unlike the other fragrances produced in bulk, such perfume with the traces of Japanese inspiration and life surely exert attention and this is reasonable: it is not only the perfume to market and ear money but the whole philosophy, covert but absolute. So, most perfume launched by the famous Japanese culture followers take their niches in the global market, like Kenzo and Issey Miyake. Issey Miyake launched the genially iconic fragrance of the 90s with such a simple and unpretentious name as Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey.
