Launched in 1996 by Guerlain and crafted by Jacques Guerlain and Jean-Paul Guerlain, Champs Elysees Extract is a floral fruity fragrance that captures the essence of Parisian elegance. The composition opens with bright, fresh fruits like melon and peach, which mingle with almond and anise to create a vibrant yet subtle opening. As it evolves, notes of violet, lilac, mimosa, and lily-of-the-valley add depth and complexity, while yellow florals like peony and hibiscus bring warmth and sweetness. The base notes of benzoin, cedar, sandalwood, and vanilla provide a rich, enveloping finish that feels both luxurious and intimate.

“When I created Shalimar, I was thinking of the great love stories — of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal.”
Jacques Guerlain is one of the greatest perfumers who ever lived — the man who gave the world Shalimar, Mitsouko, L'Heure Bleue, and Vol de Nuit. As the third-generation perfumer of the House of Guerlain, he elevated the family craft into high art. Working in the legendary Guerlain laboratory on the Champs-Élysées, he drew inspiration from love, literature, and travel to create fragrances of unprecedented emotional depth. Shalimar, inspired by the gardens of the Taj Mahal and his love affair with a woman whose identity remains mysterious, is perhaps the most celebrated perfume in history.
