Pierre-Francois-Pascal Guerlain
Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain, born in 1798, was inspired by the spices in his father's shop to become a perfumer-chemist. In 1828 he opened his first boutique on rue de Rivoli in Paris, founding the Guerlain house and composing fragrances with his sons Aimé and Gabriel. His 1853 Eau de Cologne Impériale, dedicated to Empress Eugénie, earned him the title of Official Perfumer to the Emperor; he also created for Queen Victoria and Queen Isabella II of Spain, and died in 1854.
