Aimé Guerlain was a perfumer of the historic Guerlain family, born in 1860 into a house already synonymous with French perfumery.
He apprenticed under his father, Gabriel Guerlain, learning the craft from the ground up before creating Jicky in 1889 — a fragrance that broke with convention by incorporating synthetic notes into a natural composition for the first time, and which remains one of the most influential perfumes ever made. He continued working within the family house until his death in 1945.
