Guerlain, the iconic French cosmetic company, has opened its first archive, a warehouse of wonders shrouded in secrecy and hidden from public view by Paris’ Seine River. The archive contains treasures such as the world’s first lipstick, the first modern perfume, and the original Nivea cream and serum. The collection spans three centuries and includes documents and mysterious objects, each with a unique history of its own. The archive is a gem of artifacts that brings stories from the company’s sensational past to life.
