Les Bains Guerbois - 1900 L'Heure De Proust

1900 L’Heure de Proust by Les Bains Guerbois is an elegant and poetic Oriental Floral fragrance designed for both women and men. Launched in 2018, this scent is an ode to memory, literature, and the refined beauty of the Belle Époque, capturing the delicate moments that inspired Marcel Proust’s timeless reflections on nostalgia and time’s fleeting essence.

Created by master perfumer Jérôme Epinette, 1900 L’Heure de Proust opens with a delicate yet luminous floral bouquet, evoking the scent of freshly bloomed flowers in a Parisian salon, mingling with the soft aroma of fine tea and the delicate crumble of a madeleine dipped in warm infusion.

At its heart, the fragrance deepens into a refined oriental elegance, where soft spices and gentle resins intertwine, mirroring the layers of memory and reverie that Proust so exquisitely captured in his writing. As the scent lingers, a warm, powdery base of vanilla, musk, and amber emerges, enveloping the wearer in a comforting, timeless embrace that feels both intimate and profound.

With its literary, nostalgic, and exquisitely refined character, 1900 L’Heure de Proust is perfect for those who appreciate sophisticated floral-oriental compositions with a story to tell. Ideal for quiet contemplation, intellectual salons, or moments of introspection, this fragrance is a scented passage through time, where the past whispers gently into the present, like ink on parchment and the scent of madeleines in the air
