Paris: Capital of Guerlain

Maison Guerlain has epitomized the soul of Paris since it was founded on the Rue de Rivoli in 1828. Its fabled perfumes - Mitsouko, L'Heure Bleue, Shalimar, and Jicky -and its cosmetic creations - Secret de Bonne Femme, Terracotta, and Rouge G, among so many others-celebrate Guerlain's inextricable ties to the quintessentially Parisian worlds of art, theater, cinema, literature, and performance. These affinities are celebrated in illustrations, photographs, and unpublished archives in this volume that transports the reader to the Expositions Universelles and unveils Guerlain's close collaborations with Parisian architects, designers, decorators, craftsmen, and artists.
