He has brought the world the legendary original Addict, Idylle, Shalimar Parfum Initial and La Petite Robe Noir to name just a few.

It does highlight that the French and the perfume lovers have been expecting a lot from Guerlain and not without good reason: after all, it's such an historic, purely beauty-oriented house, which is a rarity these days of multi-branching.
