“The House of Guerlain was founded in 1828, when Pierre-François Pascal Guerlain opened his perfume store on 42, rue de Rivoli in Paris. As both the founder and first perfumer of the house, Pierre-François composed and manufactured custom fragrances with the help of his two sons, Aimé and Gabriel. Through continued success and the patronage of members in high society, Guerlain opened its flagship store at 15, rue de la Paix in 1840, and put its mark on the Parisian fashion scene.

The success of the house under Pierre-François peaked in 1853 with the creation of Eau de Cologne Impérial. This perfume earned Pierre-François the prestigious title of being His Majesty’s Official Perfumer (France), which lead him to create perfumes for Queen Victoria of England and Queen Isabella of Spain, among other royalty.”

Now there is a job that would be fun. Yes, I know that you have to have talent to create fragrances from scratch, but what fun it would be to play with all of those essences just to see what you get!

“The band inked a licensing deal with Gemini Cosmetics Thursday for both beauty and fragrances. The first products will be out in September: men’s and women’s scents.

“We thought about doing makeup,” band co-founder Paul Stanley, the group’s guitarist, joked in an interview. “But we weren’t sure how many women would want to walk around with white-painted faces.”

The deal, brokered by the band’s management, Doc Mc Ghee Management, and its merchandise and licensing representative, Signatures Network, includes both fragrance and beauty products, with men’s and women’s scents launching first. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.”
