It all began with Pierre-Francois-Pascal Guerlain. A perfumer, chemist, inventor and researcher, the House's founder created his first boutique in the heart of Paris, at 42, rue de Rivoli. The address quickly became an essential destination for dandies and elegant women.
Since then, five successive generations of Guerlain perfumers have held the House's creative reins. Today, Thierry Wasser is the heir to an olfactory legacy of some 1100 fragrances and the intrepid leader of future projects, exploring the world in search of the most exclusive raw materials. It is this same audacity that drives Olivier Echaudemaison, Makeup Creative Director, to reveal and accentuate feminine beauty. Guerlain strives to create perfumes, make-up and skincare products that fulfill their primary functions, but also inspire emotion, surprise and wonder.
Guerlain is part of the LVMH Group.
