Parure by Guerlain was launched in 1975 and is a composition that embodies the house's legacy of using luxurious and rare materials. Jean-Paul Guerlain crafted this chypre fruity fragrance, which opens with green notes and plum, leading to a heart of rose and jasmine before settling into an earthy base of oakmoss, leather, and patchouli. The combination of these elements creates a scent that is both fresh and complex, capturing the essence of Guerlain's tradition of innovation and quality.

Jean-Paul Guerlain
Founding perfumer · 89 fragrances · b. 1937 · French
“I am the last Guerlain to make perfume. After me, the house continues — but the family chapter closes.”
Jean-Paul Guerlain is the fourth and final generation of Guerlain family perfumers, a lineage that spans nearly two centuries of French fragrance history. Taking the creative helm of the house in 1955, he continued the family's tradition of creating deeply personal, emotionally rich fragrances. His masterpieces — Habit Rouge, Vétiver, Samsara, and Héritage — are cornerstones of the perfume canon. Jean-Paul brought a more modern, sometimes daring sensibility to the Guerlain tradition, while always maintaining the house's legendary commitment to the finest raw materials.
