Description
1900 L'Heure de Proust by Les Bains Guerbois opens with a vibrant burst of sparkling bergamot, juicy pomelo, and a distinctive blueberry note, creating an immediate sense of playful freshness. As it settles, the fragrance reveals a heart of intense black tea, complemented by delicate violet and a sophisticated Tuscan leather accord, evoking the intimate atmosphere of a Belle Époque tea service. The dry down is a comforting blend of warm mate, creamy vanilla, sweet praline, and smoky guaiac wood, rounded out by a soft amber, leaving a lingering impression of sweet indulgence and whispered secrets. This scent beautifully balances fruity brightness with a rich, gourmand depth, making it both inviting and intriguing. Perfumer: Jérôme Epinette

AmberAbout 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.
