    Use it just like perfumer's alcohol. This is the original 1853 eau de cologne that launched the Guerlain brand. It is a ready-to-wear 5% strength cologne as was the norm for distilled fragrances such as these. 

    According to the house: “[c]reated in 1853 by Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain, Eau de Cologne Imperiale is the first cologne Guerlain specially composed for the Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III, earning its creator the title of ‘Her Majesty's patented Perfumer’.”

    This cologne was used as the base for the first version of Jicky which was decidedly different from the construction style of later versions. Below is a formula for a Jicky-style fragrance that illustrates how this was done as well as a formula for an Eau Sauvage type to demonstrate a modern use of the style. This is a wonderful technique never seen today but is certainly due a renaissance. And now with Fraterworks Cologne Imperiale 1853, it is possible to experience this treasured perfumery style.

    Fraterworks distills this cologne in a classic copper still (as pictured) just as the original was. A truly unique product.
