Jicky in detail
Jicky Eau de Parfum was created in 1889 by Aimé Guerlain, who used two then-new molecules, vanillin and coumarin. The house places it among Les Légendaires and sees in it the start of a perfumery that no longer copies flowers but stirs emotions.
Guerlain presents three ingredients, without tiers. Lavender from the south of France, distilled on site, brings an aromatic, floral freshness. Vanilla, a pillar of the house, gives a gourmand, sensual note. A fougère accord, pairing aromatic notes with woods, structures the composition. According to the house, lemon and spicy notes, over an ambery facet, enliven it.
Jicky is worn in autumn and winter, by day or in the evening. It is an ambiguous vanilla fougère, for those who love fragrances with history.
Three niche fougères in our catalogue share its lavender: 1725 Casanova by Histoires de Parfums and Layton by Parfums de Marly add vanilla; Himalaya by Creed places it in a fresher register.
