According to Women’s Wear Day, LVMH owned Guerlain recently denounced Jean Paul Guerlain’s comments, calling them “intolerable” and contradicted the “culture, values, and ethics practiced by the enterprise, which promotes the diversity of talents of all origins.”
Though Jean Paul’s family founded Guerlain in 1828, the company was sold to LVMH in 1994, and is no longer directly affiliated with Jean Paul or the Guerlain family.
So it looks like perhaps the boycott is off?

This is beyond comical. Despite advancements in human evolution, primates exist among us. That said, should knee jerk reactions to ignorance really be placated by ready made memos denouncing incendiary remarks? Are we that dumb?
