Created in 1828, Sapoceti, was a rich soap made of whale blubber. It was meant to cleanse not only the body, but to whiten the skin as well online. Guerlain registered this as a trademark in 1926, again in 1967 and the trademark finally expired in 1987.
Sapoceti was available in over 45 different Guerlain scents. These are really rare today, beautiful to use, or simply place the opened box in one of your lingerie drawers to scent your garments.
Iris was an expensive fragrance during the years, and thus the Shalimar soaps are in demand and a little more expensive.
Fortunately whale blubber is no longer used in soap making and has been replaced by vegetable ingredients.
Jicky was first launched in 1889. It is a classical fragrance and, despite the age, it is timeless and still very modern. According to the legend, the perfume was named after a girl Aimé Guerlain was in love with when he was a student in England, and then it was said that the perfume was named after his uncle Jacques Guerlain's nickname – Jicky. It is more likely, though, that Aimé, a gay man, was hiding his love for someone else named Jacques and someone at Guerlain created the story of a long lost female love to hide his sexuality and to protect the reputation of Guerlain during the late 1800s.
