The committed House Perfumer Thierry Wasser travels every year to Calabria, Italy to connect with nature. His only goal is gaining personal knowledge of the land as he finds this important in order to ensure consistency in the quality of ingredients, especially the bergamot which is a Guerlain favorite. He also makes sure as well to encourage producers to diversify and protect production during every visit.

The importance of the Bergamot remains supreme in Guerlain, and it’s obvious as it is one of the fresh assets of the amazing Guerlinade, the center jewel of the Aqua Allegoria, the one with the high percentage in the Shalimar and the special ingredient of many other of the House’s fragrances.
