Fleur de Feu, launched by Guerlain in 1949 and crafted by Jacques Guerlain, is a Chypre Floral fragrance that epitomizes the elegance of French perfumery. The composition opens with aldehydes and bergamot, creating an initial freshness that transitions into a heart rich with jasmine, ylang-ylang, and lily-of-the-valley, all underscored by honey and iris. A powdery base of musk, sandalwood, heliotrope, tonka bean, and vanilla rounds out the scent, providing warmth and depth.
Fleur de Feu is a proof of Guerlain’s tradition of using luxurious materials and innovative synthetic components. It stands as one of Jacques Guerlain's masterpieces, blending classic florals with powdery notes in a way that remains both lasting and sophisticated.

“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.
