Jicky

by Aimé Guerlain

Guerlain Jicky is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1889, created by Aimé Guerlain. Jicky opens with Rosemary, Lemon, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Lavender, Orris, Basil, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Amber, Benzoin, Leather, and Spicy. Guerlain's Jicky carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Jicky is a bona fide classic, but be warned: this ain't your average crowd-pleaser. It's a polarizing, historic scent - some find it heavenly, others pick up naught but an animalic tang. Love or loathe it, you're smelling a piece of perfumery legend.

About

A pioneering blast of bright lemon and bergamot gives way to an aromatic heart of cool lavender and fresh basil, underpinned by subtle orris. As it settles, a surprising warmth emerges with soft vanilla, rich amber, and a touch of spicy leather, creating a complex and ever-evolving drydown that dances between clean freshness and a more sensual depth.
