GUERLAIN

A French owned perfume, cosmetic and skincare brand, Guerlain was founded in 1828 as a house of fragrances. The founder, Pierre-Francoise-Pascal Guerlain was a perfumer and researcher. He was interested in creating regal fragrances for the higher class and gradually as his business started flourishing, when he created a perfume for a wedding within the royal family.

Five generations of the family have been working towards making Guerlain a world renowned luxury brand that continues to create cosmetic and skincare products to fulfill their primary function of celebrating luxury. The company was acquired by the LMVH group in 1994. Inspired by the Indian emperor, Shah Jahan and his incredible gesture of dedicating the Taj Mahal to Princess Mumtaz- Jacques Guerlain created his very first oriental fragrance in 1925 and called it ‘Shalimar’, which was sealed in a luxurious Baccarat crystal bottle.

Signature: The Guerlain packaging reflects their brand value, by using deep browns, maroons and gold in order to make the packaging look more luxurious, grand and high end. Some of their most sought after products are the Terracotta bronzer, pearls of powder, shaping crème lip contour and the satin lipstick range.
