Les Bains Guerbois

One of my favorite newly discovered niche houses. Les Bains Guerbois most elegantly displays the evolution of perfumery over the years. Starting in 1885 and ending in 2015, their collection highlights the staples of perfumery from each time period. The experience is like walking though hundreds of years of coherent and articulate Parisian olfactory culture. Each fragrance tells a story of a specific place and moment from each year. From Turkish and Russian Baths of the 19th century, to wild 70s nightclubs, Les Bains Guerbois evocatively captures Paris through the years. Do not miss out on this house! My personal favorite—1900 L’Heure de Proust.
