Guest Post: Guerlain — Marie Claire by M.J. Rose

M.J. Rose:  I've been fas­ci­nated with lost fra­grances since long before I started writ­ing The Book of Lost Fra­grances… since I found a bot­tle of per­fume on my great grandmother's dresser that had belonged to her mother in Rus­sia. Here is one of those lost fra­grances that stirs the senses and the imag­i­na­tion… (researched and described  with the help of the per­fume writer  Dim­itrios Dimitriadis)

GUERLAIN — MARIE CLAIRE

Guer­lain is revered as one of the most spec­tac­u­lar per­fume houses in the world. More than 180 years of per­fume his­tory has trans­lated into the cre­ation of over 700 per­fumes — many of which are rare edi­tions and long-lost gems. In 1996, Guer­lain cre­ated an eau de par­fum for the French edi­tion of Marie Claire mag­a­zine — lim­ited to only 1000 exam­ples — which were assigned to recip­i­ents by way of a com­pe­ti­tion. Nowa­days, this rare trea­sure has all but dis­ap­peared. Marie Claire (the per­fume) was a sum­mery bou­quet of white blos­soms — jas­mine, tuberose and ylang ylang, which bloom over a dry, earthy vetiver base. A per­fume with titanic sil­lage and an endur­ing pres­ence, Marie Claire has slipped from our con­scious­ness as yet another per­fume lost to time.
