    Description

    Step back into the legendary nightlife of late 1970s Paris with 1978 Les Bains Douches, a fragrance that pulses with vibrant energy and sophisticated decadence. Opening with a bold blend of yuzu, bitter orange, and whiskey, it quickly unfurls aromatic notes of clary sage, rose, and heliotrope, evoking the lively, eclectic spirit of the era. The drydown is a magnetic embrace of blond tobacco, myrrh, amber, cedar, and patchouli, imparting a balsamic warmth and subtle smokiness. Both invigorating and nostalgic, this scent captures the essence of endless nights in an iconic club. Created by Bertrand Duchaufour for unisex wear.

    About LES BAINS GUERBOIS

    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.
