Guerlinade by Guerlain c1921
Guerlinade, introduced by Guerlain in 1921, was a significant creation by Jacques Guerlain, emblematic of the brand's signature style. The name "Guerlinade" is a blend of "Guerlain" and the suffix "-ade," which is often used in French to denote a product or essence. Pronounced "Guer-lin-ahd," it evokes a sense of sophistication and craftsmanship synonymous with the House of Guerlain. The term suggests a bespoke creation, deeply connected to the Guerlain identity and its rich heritage in perfumery.
The fragrance Guerlinade is defined by its iconic accord, which became the hallmark of Guerlain's olfactory creations. This accord, consisting of rose, jasmine, vanilla, and tonka bean, represents what is often described as the "soul" of Guerlain's perfumes. In scent, Guerlinade exudes a deep, complex warmth that blends the romantic and timeless qualities of rose and jasmine with the comforting sweetness of vanilla and the subtle, nutty richness of tonka bean. The result is a fragrance that feels both lush and intimate, capturing a sense of classic elegance and enduring appeal.
In the early 1920s, when Guerlinade was launched, the world of perfumery was experiencing significant evolution. This period marked a transition from the opulence of the Belle Époque to the modernism of the Roaring Twenties. Women of the time, who had become more liberated and fashion-forward, would have found Guerlinade to be a sophisticated and luxurious choice, aligning with their evolving tastes and the desire for distinctive, high-quality fragrances.
