Guerlain will focus on writing his memoirs, which are expected to be published in October. Fifth-generation perfumer assumed the helm of the 174-year-old company in 1959. During his tenure, Guerlain was instrumental in bringing to market more than 60 fragrances including Vetiver (1959), Nahema (1979), Samsara (1989), Héritage (1992) and his most personal offering, Mahora (2001).

Guerlain's retirement follows the resignation of U.S. President and CEO Marjorie Wollan (22"The Rose Sheet" Nov. 5, 2001, p. 8)...
