Guermantes Vintage is inspired by Marcel Proust's IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME. Its name refers to Proust's Guermantes family.

"...But WHEN FROM A LONG-DISTANT PAST NOTHING SUBSISTS, AFTER THE PEOPLE ARE DEAD,...TASTE AND SMELL... MORE FRAGILE BUT MORE ENDURING, ...MORE PERSISTENT, MORE FAITHFUL, REMAIN POISED A LONG TIME, LIKE SOULS, REMEMBERING, WAITING, HOPING, AMID THE RUINS OF ALL THE REST; AND BEAR UNFLINCHINGLY, IN THE TINY AND ALMOST IMPALPABLE DROP OF THEIR ESSENCE, THE VAST STRUCTURE OF RECOLLECTION"

MARCEL PROUST / IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME / 1913
