If you know a little about the world of Guerlain and its Guerlinade, you’ll understand right away what it’s about. To be honest, I only discovered it that evening, so for fellow Guerlain newcomers like me, here’s a short explanation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s begin. It was Jacques Guerlain, nephew of Aim\u00e9 (the son of founder Pierre-Fran\u00e7ois-Pascal Guerlain), who created the Guerlinade, the signature of the House’s fragrances since 1921. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what is the Guerlinade, you ask? According to Wikipedia, it is a perfume base, a blend built on iris and vanilla, created in 1921 by Jacques Guerlain from Jicky, the earlier fragrance created by his uncle Aim\u00e9 Guerlain in 1889. That’s a start, but there’s more. According to Sylvaine Delacourte, of the blog of the same name and a former creative director at Guerlain, the formula comes from a fragrance created by Jacques Guerlain in 1921. She goes further, describing the Guerlinade in this article<\/a> as a state of mind that gives fragrances style, presence and great sensuality. You adore them, even worship them, or sometimes you walk right past them, but a Guerlain fragrance always leaves a trace in the memory of others. To keep it short and get back to the experience, it is a blend of different scents: jasmine, bergamot, rose, iris, vanilla and tonka. These notes are represented through the six exceptional sillages of the Extraits Signature, which reveal the most perfect, most singular, most Guerlain expression of the Guerlinade’s signature raw materials, at an ultimate concentration of 30%.
