AN ODE TO LILY OF THE VALLEY, THE MOST POETIC OF GUERLAIN’S RENDEZVOUS

Capacity : 155 ML
A STATELY MUGUET BY THIERRY WASSER

It is to Guerlain’s Master Perfumer that we owe the feat of reproducing the fragrance of lily of the valley. Described as "mute", its natural essence is impossible to extract. Guerlain’s Muguet, composed since 2016 by Thierry Wasser, captures as faithfully as possible the scent of the lucky sprigs. In a burst of freshness, the green notes meeting the floral preciousness of jasmine and rose adorn this emblematic trail with soft and pearly green and rosy facets. At the heart of this bouquet, the olfactory illusion of a freshly picked sprig of lily of the valley emerges.

AN EXCEPTIONAL SPRING ADORNMENT

The adornment of lucky bell-shaped flowers was born from her delicate sketches, drafts that create a singular vision. Fashioned in stucco, a coating made of marble powder, the twenty-four bell-shaped flowers illuminated with gold and the two green leaves are sculpted by Anne Lopez directly on the glass. Just like a delicate necklace, the lily-of-the-valley sprig composition unfolds in a considered way around the bottle’s curves : plump bell-shaped flowers at the top, then gradually refining into an utterly graceful string.

THE LIGHTNESS OF A SCULPTED SPRIG

To enhance the Bee Bottle, Anne Lopez, magician of the white, sculps the stucco while still malleable and shapes one by one and by hand each element of the adornment before the material solidifies on contact with air. To perfect this exceptional sprig, the artist applies 22-carat gold leaf to certain flowers, each gilded effect being unique and tailored to the flower’s singular design. Final touch to this springtime bouquet, the Dames de Table in the Guerlain ateliers add a delicate golden thread around the neck of the bottle and place an all-gold label at its heart. Each piece is an act of craftsmanship, requiring many hours of meticulous work by hand, giving them a unique character.

“I CREATE DREAMLIKE AND FANTASTICAL WORLDS, IN WHICH DELICACY, FINESSE AND REFINEMENT SERVE THE IMAGINATION.”

ANNE LOPEZ, CREATOR OF WORLDS

Anne Lopez is a Parisian artist sculptor of white and expert of material. Graduated of Paris’ School of Fine Arts, she is a virtuoso in the art of transposing her freehand sketched works into volume through the magic of materials. She animates her drawings by a breath of wind which gives her dreamlike works an ethereal lightness. This gracefulness is all the more tangible as by working with gold leaf, plaster and stucco, Anne Lopez brings to life a masterful balance born of this alchemy between such dissimilar materials.
