Scherrer Jean Louis Scherrer

A true stylist of forms, he successfully imposed his signature on Parisian elegance, which led him, at the height of his fame (in 1979), to want to create his very first fragrance, soberly titled Jean-Louis Scherrer. This original green chypre, with its assertive femininity, would soon establish itself among the classics of perfumery...

Jean-Louis Scherrer the fragrance, a first fragrance turned timeless signature

After working from 1956 to 1959 for Christian Dior, Jean-Louis Scherrer opened his own couture house, which quickly gained considerable momentum. As early as 1971, the couturier saw all the elegant women of the world flock to his address on rue de Montaigne, drawn by his pursuit of nomadic elegance, his love of drapes as well as geometric forms. It is needless to say that when the designer chose to sell a fragrance, it had to be entirely in his image!

Quickly, then, this very first attempt in perfumery was rewarded with a fame that would prove far from fleeting. Considered the very essence of Jean-Louis Scherrer's modern elegance, the Jean-Louis Scherrer fragrance is THE couture fragrance par excellence.

Moreover, this direct kinship between Jean-Louis Scherrer's couture and perfumery is highlighted by the choice of its name, Jean-Louis Scherrer. Then, of course, by the formidable effectiveness of its visuals which, with a black blazer jacket with giant 80s-style shoulder pads, exude a fragrant identity that makes no compromise. Not to mention the presentation of this Jean-Louis Scherrer Parfum in an artistic fresco largely inspired by the very trendy style of Andy Warhol.
The magic of this first Jean-Louis Scherrer fragrance would therefore be the clear affirmation of a style that, despite belonging to a bygone era, never goes out of fashion. Jean-Louis Scherrer. The eternal feminine, proclaimed one of the advertisements for Jean-Louis Scherrer's first fragrance...

Chiaroscuro of flowers and chypre for such an elegant Jean-Louis Scherrer Parfum

The Jean-Louis Scherrer bottle bears, like the couturier's clothes, broad glass shoulders designed by Serge Mansau. A true masterpiece with geometric lines rising toward the sky, Jean-Louis Scherrer asserts its modernity as much as its distinctiveness.

Created by Max Gavarry, Jean-Louis Scherrer opens on a green and delicately fruity cocktail of blackcurrant bud and green note. Aldehydes lend their strength to these original top notes. Then the heart becomes outrageously feminine, offering the Jean-Louis Scherrer woman a true bouquet of precious flowers exhaling between notes of rose, jasmine, and hyacinth. Yet the sensuality of the depths of civet, vetiver, and sandalwood will lend an intense sillage to this strong woman, confident in her femininity, whether in the 1980s or many decades later.

Jean-Louis Scherrer is the fragrance of the 1980s woman who dares and asserts herself without ever forgetting her majestic elegance. Long unavailable in perfumery, it returns today to remind us just how timeless its originality remains.
