In 1889, Aimé Guerlain created Jicky, his first masterpiece. It was immediately described as the "first modern perfume". Complex in nature, it was also the first unisex creation in perfumery. It marked the beginning of emotional perfumery, which no longer sought to copy the aromas of flowers, but to arouse emotions. Jicky is part of the Les Légendaires collection by Guerlain. A collection of iconic fragrances created over a century ago by five generations of perfumers. Legendary and profoundly innovative fragrances for their time, they constitute a unique olfactory library, an incomparable and unrivaled treasure that Guerlain strives to perpetuate. Why Jicky? Aimé Guerlain had fond memories of a young woman named Jicky, to whom he paid homage with one of his most beautiful olfactory creations. Coincidentally, his nephew Jacques' nickname was also Jicky. Jicky is presented in the legendary "inverted heart" bottle. This bottle was designed in 1912 by George Chevalier as the quintessence of femininity: a subtle combination of curves and lines, rounded and harmonious contours, and a cap sculpted in the shape of an inverted heart. Guerlain's first modern perfume Oriental fern. Contrasting, dynamic, extraordinary. The spicy notes, which blossom in contact with the warmth of the oriental facet, play very skillfully with the aromatic and fresh heart of the lemon and lavender notes. In the base of this bold composition, the woody and vanilla notes bring vitality and personality to the fragrance. With Jicky, we speak for the first time of abstract perfumery, as opposed to figurative perfumery. With its unique play of facets, it is the first time that a perfume creation acquires such tenacity and stellarity. It is the prelude to new modern olfactory creations, considered the founding father of the mythical Shalimar.
