BESPOKE FRAGRANCE
THE ALCHEMY OF A UNIQUE GUERLAIN CREATION, MADE TO MEASURE
Perfume is an expression of identity. Guerlain has always accompanied you in your quest for uniqueness and distinction, and will design a perfume for you that will reflect the very essence of your personality in all its nuances.
“A SUCCESSFUL PERFUME IS ONE THAT CARRIES THE SCENT OF AN INITIAL DREAM.”
JACQUES GUERLAIN
HISTORIC EXPERTISE
The history of Guerlain is marked by exceptional and unique fragrances, made to measure for the greatest lovers of perfume. This is the case of the Eau de Cologne Impériale, tailor-made in 1853 by Pierre- François-Pascal Guerlain for Empress Eugénie de Montijo. Over the years, the tradition of bespoke perfume has been continued by Guerlain’s successive perfumers.
"EACH TIME, IT’S A DIFFERENT ADVENTURE, A PERSONAL ADVENTURE. THE LIMIT IS REACHED WHEN THE CUSTOMER IS PLEASED.”
THIERRY WASSER,
GUERLAIN MASTER PERFUMER
THE FRUIT OF A CLOSE COLLABORATION
AN OLFACTIVE PORTRAIT
Each fragrance paints an olfactory portrait arising from the discovery of your desires, your most intimate wishes and the immersion in your olfactory heritage in order to be able to create a perfume that makes you unique and incomparable. This collaboration transcends all your desires and dreams, ensuring that the experience is just like the resulting fragrance: BESPOKE.
A CONVERSATION WITH THE MASTER PERFUMER
Bespoke Fragrance is the result of alchemy between unique inspiration and the creative genius of the Guerlain Master Perfumer. In keeping with the tradition started by Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain, Thierry Wasser begins his creative process by guiding you progressively through a fascinating journey of introspection in order to define the contours of your bespoke perfume. To confirm his initial perceptions, he will select olfactory essences and accords for you to smell blindfolded, so as to transport you without being influenced by your other senses.
A UNIQUE GUERLAIN CREATION IN YOUR IMAGE
AN EXCLUSIVE FORMULA
Approximately three months after your meeting, you will receive your initial olfactory proposal. Sometimes, the perfumer is so accurate that you will fall in love at first smell. Other times, a few changes will be necessary and the creative exchange will resume, just like a designer working to order. When the formula matches your desires, you own it for life.
THE “DAMES DE TABLE”, ARTISANS OF THE GUERLAIN DREAM
The extension of this dream is inscribed in the exceptional bottles of the bespoke perfume: a 500 ml quatrefoil bottle in fully personalised Baccarat crystal, along with 24 quatrefoil bottles of 50 ml and 3 quatrefoil bottles of 30 ml that can be personalised with engravings. With a grand total of 1.8 litres of bespoke perfume, these 28 bottles are packaged and dressed by the Guerlain Ateliers Dames de Table. From the filling to the satin cord knot and the placement of the tightening seal, each gesture is carried out by hand using a rare expertise that is unique to Guerlain.
AN ETERNAL PROMISE
Guerlain is committed to recreating each bespoke perfume for life and made to order, according to current standards. Guerlain then provides two iconic Bee Bottles—manufactured since 1853 by Pochet du Courval, the Maison’s historic glassmaker.
YOUR BESPOKE FRAGRANCE
A finishing touch to the dream, two black leather trunks containing all the bottles of bespoke perfume, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and a card detailing the inspiration for the fragrance, signed in the words of the Perfumer himself.
