01 AN UNPRECEDENTED EDITION ENHANCED BY THE PEARL
In tribute to the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, a joyful moment of sharing and solidarity marking the end of Ramadan, Guerlain presents an exclusive Exceptional Art Piece. For this special occasion, the refined craftsmanship of the Vermont embroidery workshops meets the daring olfactory approach of Guerlain’s perfumers. The majestic one-litre Bee Bottle, adorned with a sumptuous and unprecedented black gradient lacquer, is embellished with a cascade of shimmering pearls, a tribute to Eastern traditions where pearls symbolise purity and elegance. For this limited and numbered edition, the precious bottle holds L’Heure Dorée, a delectable amber and woody Eau de Parfum created exclusively for this celebration.
02 ATELIERS VERMONT, A PARISIAN REFERENCE IN THE ART OF EMBROIDERY
To offer this exceptional fragrance the most poetic of adornments, Guerlain has partnered with virtuosos of the embroidery arts. Since 1956, the Vermont workshops have been creating exquisite embroideries in the heart of Paris for the most prestigious Haute Couture houses, perpetuating ancestral savoir-faire. True architects of the invisible, the expert hands of these embroiderers orchestrate wonder: pearls, sequins, crystals and threads are transformed beneath their touch, turning fabric into a genuine work of art.
03 A CASCADE OF PEARLS IN ALL ITS MAJESTY
In a symphony of reflections and pearly sparkles, the Bee Bottle, timeless icon cherished for nearly 170 years, is adorned with a meticulous embroidery where pearls flourish in a diaphanous cascade. Drawing upon embroidery techniques of exceptional refinement, the bottle, its gradient lacquer evoking a mysterious night illuminated by fleeting sparks of light, is elevated with a beaded adornment, a shimmering cascade that embraces the glass and accentuates its graceful contours. Each pearl sewn, each thread tautened, echoes a gesture of patience and precision, a silent poem that stirs both the eye and the soul. To complete this creation, the name of the fragrance, L’Heure Dorée, is meticulously engraved at the heart of the bottle.
04 L’HEURE DORÉE, A LUMINOUS OLFACTORY SYMPHONY
Imagined by Delphine Jelk, Perfumer of the Maison, L’Heure Dorée is a unique olfactory creation dedicated to this celebration. The fragrance opens with spicy notes of cardamom before unveiling a majestic rose that blends softness with passion. It is then elevated by opopanine, the legendary amber accord of Shalimar, enriched with touches of sugar, coconut, and sandalwood. Its trail embodies the full oriental spirit of this celebration, instantly transporting the senses into a universe of light, like a sacred breath captured within a bottle.
05 A TIME-HONOURED BOTTLE TURNED INTO A JEWEL OF CRAFTSMANSHIP
Once again, the iconic Bee Bottle, originally created in 1853 to celebrate the wedding of Empress Eugénie and Napoléon III, is reinvented in a unique one-litre edition, enhanced by a sumptuous deep black lacquer with a subtle gradient effect. Designed by Pochet du Courval, this work of art stands as a testament to a centuries-old artisanal tradition that continues to embody timeless modernity. The glassblowers, heirs to a craft passed down from generation to generation since 1623, possess exceptional expertise, elevating glass to a material as noble as crystal.
