It is me and it protected me

Posted by Robin on 19 November 2022 2 Comments

I picked this scent when was 13. Kids were bullying me because I was frumpy and short, and they made fun of my baby face and everything. This fragrance acted as my Superman disguise; it was like my shining armour. I disguised myself as a man because it was a manly man's scent and it never failed me.

So from 13 to 61, I wore that because it’s been a part of my success. It is me and it protected me. Speaking from experience, wearing a fragrance can be uplifting. It can be a way to be someone other than who you are. I think beauty – makeup and skincare – is a way to boost your self-esteem.

I have to know Jicky as well as I know Oud Cherry

Posted by Robin on 18 October 2022 3 Comments

And this is what’s cool about being at Guerlain: that you have the know-how of manufacturing and I know my fragrances as well as I know Jean-Paul’s, as I know Jacques’… even Pierre-François Pascal Guerlain’s, because the oldest formula I manufacture today is from 1853, Eau de Cologne Imperiale de Guerlain. So I have to know it. I have to know Jicky as well as I know Oud Cherry because I manufacture it. And that’s absolutely unique in the world.

— Perfumer Thierry Wasser, quoted in Guerlain’s Thierry Wasser on scents, sustainability, and L’Art & La Matière at Vogue Singapore.
