JICKY

In 1889, Aimé Guerlain, the son of the House founder Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain, created his first masterpiece, Jicky. A perfume so complex and so modern that it would be classified straightaway as “the first modern perfume”. It was the first composition specifically designated by the term “perfume”, and it was also perfumery’s first unisex fragrance. 

Why the name Jicky? From his time studying in England, Aimé Guerlain kept the enamored memory of a young woman he called Jicky. By pure coincidence, the diminutive of Jacques was also Jicky.
