Fragrances A-G

A:

Acacia (c.1872) – Named after the fragrant flowering tree, Acacia (meaning simply “Acacia” in English) was a popular fragrance of the 19th century, created by several perfumers including Pierre-François Pascal Guerlain, who based it on a shared structural tradition. The scent was notable for its oriental character, blending the richness of pure ambergris tincture with deep balsamic tones and the elegance of precious dry woods. Refined and enduring, it represented the era’s fascination with warm, resinous perfumes. It was later discontinued, though it remained admired in its time.

Acola (19th century?) – The name Acola derives from the Portuguese word acolá, meaning “over there,” an adverb of place used to indicate something distant. Guerlain created this fragrance during the 19th century, though little is recorded about its exact composition or release date. Like many perfumes of the era, it likely followed the shared structural tradition of floral-oriental blends favored by Pierre-François Pascal Guerlain. Evocative in name, Acola suggested an air of exoticism and faraway lands. The fragrance was eventually discontinued, and its precise formula has not survived.

Adem (1928) – Created by Guerlain, Adem (from the Ottoman Turkish Ādem, corresponding to Adam) is a masculine given name widely used in Turkey, Bosnia, and Albania, also linked to the figure of Adam in Islamic tradition. The fragrance carried with it the symbolic weight of origins, humanity, and masculine identity. Though little is known about its exact composition, its name alone suggests Guerlain’s interest in cultural breadth and timeless themes. Eventually discontinued, Adem remains a rare and little-documented creation in the house’s early 20th-century portfolio.

A Fiori di Como (19th century) – The Italian name A Fiori di Como translates to "Flowers of Como" or "With Flowers of Como", referring to the scenic city and lake region of northern Italy, Lago di Como. As a perfume, it was most likely another name for Fleurs d’Italie, a popular fragrance already produced by Guerlain and other perfumers of the 19th century. With its romantic evocation of Italy’s natural beauty, A Fiori di Como captured the era’s fascination with travel and exotic landscapes. Eventually discontinued, it was housed in the classic Carré flacon.

Agata (19th century?) - The word “Agata” can refer to the semiprecious stone agate—a banded variety of quartz prized for its colors and patterns—or serve as a female given name, equivalent to Agatha in English. In Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, it carries both meanings, with the stone often written as ágata in Spanish and Portuguese. Depending on context, “Agata” may evoke either the natural beauty and symbolism of the gemstone or the timeless elegance of the name.

Agua del Bosque de Bolonia (19th century) - translates to “Water of the Forest of Bologna.” or could also refer to the "Bois de Boulogne." It refers to the large, famous public park on the western edge of Paris, long associated with fashionable promenades, leisure, and romantic or natural settings. In a perfume context, the name evokes freshness, greenery, and elegance.

Classified as an aromatic floral oriental fragrance for women, it combined rich floral notes with warm, resinous undertones, reflecting Guerlain’s early exploration of sensual, layered compositions.

The term alcoolat refers to a distilled alcoholic preparation infused with plants or herbs. In this case, the formula combined cochlearia (scurvy grass, once valued for its sharp, mustard-like flavor and medicinal properties, especially against scurvy) with cresson (watercress, also prized for its stimulating and cleansing qualities). Marketed as a mouth rinse or tonic for oral care, it reflected the 19th-century trend of using botanicals in hygienic remedies. By 1878, Guerlain advertised a related preparation, Alcoolat de Cresson et Cochlearia au Quinquina, which added quinquina (cinchona bark, source of quinine) to the formula, emphasizing invigorating and antiseptic properties.
