Guerlain is still in business today, with thirteen locations in Paris, including their famous shop (pictured above) at 68, Champs Elysees, opened in 1914.
To get the right word in the right place is a rare achievement. To condense the diffused light of a page of thought into the luminous flash of a single sentence, is worthy to rank as a prize composition just by itself... Anybody can have ideas, the difficulty is to express them without squandering a quire of paper on an idea that ought to be reduced to one glittering paragraph. -- Mark Twain

Perfume
While she's in Paris, India wants to stop by the House of Guerlain (est. 1828) for some perfume. She will likely select the Eau de Cologne Imperiale, which was created for the Empress Eugenie in 1853. It sounds quite nice, with its "rich lime and lime flower notes" (per Wikipedia).
