The Guerlain Story
Guerlain was founded in 1828 in Paris by Pierre-François Pascal Guerlain, with the original house specializing in custom fragrances for the French aristocracy. The brand was acquired by LVMH in 1994 and has since expanded its skincare portfolio significantly, with the Abeille Royale anti-aging line — built around honey and royal jelly from the Ouessant Black Bee, a protected French species — becoming the brand's most globally-distributed luxury skincare collection. Guerlain remains one of the cornerstone French luxury heritage houses, with iconic packaging and decades-deep formulation discipline.
