Jicky is a perfume originally created by Aimé Guerlain in 1889 for French perfume and cosmetics house Guerlain. Introduced in 1889, it is the oldest continuously produced perfume in the world.[1]

History

Jicky was one of the first perfumes created with the addition of synthetic materials,[2] and was the first abstract perfume in history, meaning it is not based on a single note.[3] Its perfume notes include: spice, lemon, lavender, wood and vanilla. Its stopper is shaped like a champagne cork.[4]

Jicky was the nickname of Aimé Guerlain's nephew, Jacques Guerlain, and according to legend, was also the pet name of Aimé's girlfriend from his time studying in England.[5]

Jicky was featured in the exhibition, The Art of Scent 1889–2012, curated by Chandler Burr at the Museum of Arts and Design, New York.[6] This exhibition tracks the evolution and major innovations in scent design, since the dawn of the synthetic aroma compound in the late nineteenth century.[7] Each of the scents in the exhibition is aligned to a historical art movements, with Jicky aligned with romanticism to reflect the emerging bourgeois French society.[8]
