Some Guerlain perfumes have some interesting histories:
Jicky: was reportedly named after the girl who broke Aime Guerlain's heart when he was a student in England. It is also the nickname Aime Guerlain gave his favorite nephew,Jacques. This was the first perfume to include synthetic scents and was heralded the first "modern" perfume, some name this the ultimate fougere.
Eau de Cologne Imperiale: created for the Empress Eugenie,wife of Napoleon III. The bottle bears the Napoleonc 18-kt gold bees, symbols of the French Empire at the time.

Sillage: In French the word Sillage refers to the wake of a ship, created by Jacques Guerlain..
Mitsouko: Japanese for "Mystery" and named for one of the heroines in Madame Butterfly,this was done in part as a tribute to Claude Farree,the librettist, who had written so enthusiastically about Jicky in one of his earlier stories.
