THE BEE BOTTLE
An imperial icon, now yours to personalize. Craft your own made-to-measure Bee Bottle, for a tailormade gift to cherish forever. Choose a Guerlain signature fragrance, select the size and colour of your bottle, and add a finishing touch with a coloured cord, Guerlain seal, and unique engraved message.
Imperial in its history: the Bee Bottle was designed to sublimate the eau de cologne imperiale, offered to the empress Eugenie, on the occasion of her wedding to Napoleon III.
Imperial in its design: the Bee Bottle is adorned with a festoon pattern inspired by the « Place Vendôme » column and with 69 bees, a french imperial symbol. The creation of the bottle has been entrusted to the Pochet & du Courval glassworks since its creation and the bees and festoons, in its golden version, are hand-painted with fine gold in accordance with ancestral traditions.
An icon for nearly 170 years: timeless, the Bee Bottle is more than a bottle, it’s a statement: a precious guerlain signature and a craft symbol between tradition and modernity.
