Guerlain was founded over 175 years ago by Pierre-Francois Pascal Guerlain, first carrying soaps and other hygiene products before venturing into fragrances. Three generations of the family kept the family business thriving based on the release of such iconic perfumes as Shalimar. In 1994, the company was purchased by Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy.
