Jacques Guerlain (1874-1963) was the nephew of Aimé Guerlain. He created some of Guerlain’s (and the world’s) best-known fragrances, including the iconic classics Mitsouko, Shalimar and L’Heure Bleue.
Perfumer Ernest Beaux famously said of Jacques Guerlain, “When I use vanilla, I make crème caramel, when he uses vanilla, he makes Shalimar.”1
