Paris is romantic and gritty, glamorous and eccentric all at once. But French perfume house <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/brand\/les-bains-guerbois\">Les Bains Guerbois<\/a> comes remarkably close, which is exactly why its scents are turning up everywhere during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/blog-fashion-week-beauty-trends-fragrances\/\">Paris Fashion Week<\/a> this season. Rather than creating fragrances that simply use French ingredients, the house draws on different eras, places, and characters from Parisian life to create scents that feel like little olfactory snapshots of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A little about its history<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The story of Les Bains Guerbois begins in 1885, when Auguste Guerbois opened the original establishment as a luxurious bathhouse and spa. Over the years, it became a gathering place for some of Paris\u2019 most prominent creative figures, including Claude Monet, \u00c9mile Zola, and Marcel Proust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly a century later, in 1978, the space was transformed into Les Bains Douches, becoming one of Paris\u2019 most legendary nightlife destinations. Its guest list read like a who\u2019s who of fashion, music, and culture, with Yves Saint Laurent, Kate Moss, Madonna, Serge Gainsbourg, and countless other artists and creatives passing through its doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2015, cinema producer and heir Jean-Pierre Marois reimagined the historic building once again, this time as a five-star boutique hotel. The story eventually expanded beyond the walls of the hotel: since 2016, Les Bains Guerbois has developed its own perfumery, translating the spirit and history of the place into fragrance. The result is a perfume house less interested in creating a single signature idea of Paris and more interested in exploring its many personalities. Each fragrance tells a different story, whether it evokes a particular decade, a night out, a neighborhood, or the people who have made the city what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Scentbird picks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re looking to experience Les Bains Guerbois through fragrance, these are a few scents to start with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1978-les-bains-douches.avif\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" data-attachment-id=\"34868\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/april-2026-fragrance-drops-transport-you\/1978-les-bains-douches\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1978-les-bains-douches.avif\" data-orig-size=\"640,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1978 les bains douches\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1978-les-bains-douches.avif\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1978-les-bains-douches.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34868\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:500px;height:500px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/perfume\/les-bains-guerbois-1978-les-bains-douches-65354411516463\">LES BAINS GUERBOIS 1978 Les Bains Douches<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reminiscent of the iconic Parisian nightclub that kept its doors open from 1978 to 2010, Les Bains Douches is a reminder that the night is still young. It opens with yuzu and candied orange before unfolding into a heart of sweet davana. In the dry down, blond vanilla and tobacco melt sensually into the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1979-new-wave.avif\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" data-attachment-id=\"34869\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/april-2026-fragrance-drops-transport-you\/1979-new-wave\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1979-new-wave.avif\" data-orig-size=\"640,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1979 new wave\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1979-new-wave.avif\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1979-new-wave.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34869\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:500px;height:500px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/perfume\/les-bains-guerbois-1979-new-wave-24388028470854\">LES BAINS GUERBOIS 1979 New Wave<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This fragrance was heavily inspired by an era of creativity and innovation in the city. Unexpected from the very first spritz, 1979 New Wave opens with a cool hit of peppermint. Soon, iris takes over, grounding the fragrance. Finally, creamy sandalwood softens the edges, revealing a powdery side to the scent you might not have expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1992-purple-night.avif\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" data-attachment-id=\"34870\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/april-2026-fragrance-drops-transport-you\/1992-purple-night\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1992-purple-night.avif\" data-orig-size=\"640,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1992 purple night\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1992-purple-night.avif\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1992-purple-night.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34870\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:500px;height:500px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/perfume\/les-bains-guerbois-1992-purple-night-137986876974029\">LES BAINS GUERBOIS 1992 Purple Night<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Purple Night is temptation in fragrance form. Tuberose, honey, and exotic florals give it an almost narcotic richness, mandarin adds a flash of brightness, and finally, patchouli deepens everything into something darker and more seductive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you gravitate toward something smoky and seductive or fresh and understated, Les Bains Guerbois offers a version of Paris to match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Discover Les Bains Guerbois on Scentbird<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to find your own little Paris in a bottle? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/\">Explore Les Bains Guerbois on Scentbird<\/a> and discover the fragrances that bring different sides of the city to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n<h3>What is Les Bains Guerbois?<\/h3>\n<p>Les Bains Guerbois is a French perfume house rooted in the real history of a single Parisian address: an 1885 bathhouse frequented by Monet and Proust, later the legendary nightclub Les Bains Douches, and now a five-star hotel.
