OUR STORY

In 1978 the establishment, renamed Les Bains Douches, became one of the most famous nightclubs in the world which was an artists and celebrities hang out for a quarter of a century.

Each fragrance is an olfactive journey to a specific year and story of Les Bains Guerbois rich past of almost 140 years.
In 2022, he launched the Formes & Matières collection, a synchronous, multisensory exploration of the premises. The first fragrances are Oud Laqué, Damier and Raku.
OUR SYMBOL
Our Bacchus, the god of wine and festivity in ancient times, echoes the sculpted face that has watched over our entrance since 1885. With him, two sirens inspired by the torch-bearing statues flanking the front steps, their tails enlaced in the ancient god’s beard and each holding a flame like the twins of Liberty.
Strength, energy, wisdom, delicacy, sensuality, fluidity, intoxication, and liberty – an offering from these three mythological creatures made to you the moment you cross the threshold of Les Bains Guerbois and take in their scents. May the gods be with you.
OUR FOUNDER
“Les Bains Guerbois is an adventure that fascinates me. Straddling over three centuries, it has caught its breath like never before. A breath where exquisite and original scents mingle thanks to these great perfumers whom we invited since 2018 to translate the major dates of our house into fragrances. An eclectic, powerful and unique Parisian story.”
Jean-Pierre Marois, Founder and Creative Director of Les Bains Guerbois
