Jicky is the oldest continuously-produced perfume in the world

Jicky was one of the first perfumes created with the addition of synthetic materials,[2] and was the first abstract perfume in history, meaning it is not based on a single note.[3] Its perfume notes include: spice, lemon, lavender, wood and vanilla.[4] Its stopper is shaped like a champagne cork.[5] Jicky was the nickname of Aimé Guerlain's nephew, Jacques Guerlain, and according to legend, was also the pet name of Aimé's girlfriend from his time studying in England.[6]
