Muguet (original) by Guerlain was launched in 1908 and is the work of Jacques Guerlain, who crafted it as an ode to lily-of-the-valley. The fragrance opens with a bright burst of lemon and citrus before settling into a lush heart of lily-of-the-valley, rose, and freesia. The base notes of iris and ylang-ylang add depth and warmth, creating a composition that is both fresh and powdery. Muguet (original) has become an enduring symbol of French elegance, capturing the essence of spring with its delicate floral accords.

Jacques Guerlain
Founding perfumer · 40 fragrances · b. 1874 · French
“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.
