Landmark collaboration with Grossmith

Celine Guivarch's collaboration with the legendary British Grossmith. Together with the descendants of the house's founders, Simon and Amanda Brooker, she took on the responsibility of reviving and reinterpreting historical formulas from the 19th century. Her task was a delicate one: to preserve the soul and character of the old fragrances, adapting them to modern standards of quality and perception, replacing ingredients that are now banned with their modern, safe equivalents.

The rose as a calling card

Céline Guivarch's signature style is particularly evident in her work with the queen of flowers — the rose.

The fragrance balances between freshness and powdery tenderness, where the rose appears not just as a flower, but as a whole story — from a juicy bud to velvety petals. It is precisely these works that have made her name synonymous with elegance and impeccable taste.
