Jicky was created 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 Aime Guerlain was in love with when he was a student in England. It is more likely, though, that this perfume is named after his uncle Jacques Guerlain’s nick – Jicky. This was one of the first perfumes created with addition of synthetic materials (the first was Fougere Royale Houbigant, 1882). The top notes contain lavender and citrus (bergamot, lemon and mandarin), which perfectly match the cold, metallic orris and rose shaded by vetiver. The cold top and middle notes are an elegant counterbalance to the warm base created of patchouli, vanilla, amber and musk. As Guerlain has always paid a lot of attention to design of flacons, this bottle is also attractive and original: it is designed in a shape of 19th century medicine bottle with champagne cork shaped stopper.

The nose behind this fragrance is Aim Guerlain.

Is it true that there are still raw materials from animal sources like civet in this perfume? If so, I would never want to buy it.

On me Jicky was a very strong almost feral bergamot/lemon powder. It reminds me of spraying lemon Pledge in a wet, musty attic. I usually go for Orientals, and I love lemon, but Jicky just doesn't work on me.

Jicky is among the most interesting and elegant fragrances in my wardrobe. I love it more every time I wear it: it is a masterpiece.
