Description
1885 Bains Sulfureux captures the thermal, steamy ambiance of fin-de-siècle Parisian baths with a sophisticated interplay of invigorating aromatics and resins. Lively rosemary and mandarin orange rise first, conjuring a spa-like freshness, while subtle blackcurrant and bergamot add tart sparkle. Lush jasmine and orange blossom anchor a heart that is both floral and refined, leading to a warm drydown of labdanum, amber, tonka, and incense. The result is a fragrance with a plush, modern amber signature that feels both clean and enveloping, ideal for those who desire balance between tradition and contemporary elegance. Created by Dorothée Piot for unisex.

MuskAbout LES BAINS GUERBOIS
Les Bains Guerbois is a Parisian fragrance brand launched in 2016 by Jean-Pierre Marois, inspired by the iconic Les Bains venue's 140-year history as a luxurious spa founded in 1885, legendary nightclub Les Bains Douches, and modern 5-star hotel. Its philosophy centers on 'Une Date, Une Histoire,' with each unisex eau de parfum capturing a pivotal year through subversive, evocative notes like aromatic amber in 1885 Bains Sulfureux, gourmand whiskey and tobacco in 1978 Les Bains Douches, crafted by master perfumers such as Michel Almairac and Dorothée Piot. What makes it unique is its storytelling of hedonistic, avant-garde Paris, blending heritage, sensuality, and cultural legend in refined, contemporary compositions.
