Kriss was commissioned by Nazi Germany in 1942 and relaunched as Damawesk in 1945.
‘According to research by Will Inrig from Osmothèque, unfounded rumors spread of Jacques Guerlain being a Nazi collaborator as the war drew to a close and Kriss was quickly withdrawn from the market. Guerlain explains that its short lifespan may also have been due to the scarcity of raw materials during the war. The perfume was relaunched in 1945 under the new name Dawamesk, but the fragrance’s formula did not change.’ – Surrender to Chance
