Delphine Jelk, Creative Director of Guerlain Perfumes, has created Amour Céleste, an olfactory symphony where the romanticism of flowers meets with the dazzling freshness of citrus fruits. Subtle and refined, the fragrance opens with a luminous prelude of bergamot and orange, before revealing a floral heart where osmanthus, with its fruity and leathery facets, blends with the intensity of Sambac jasmine and the honeyed nuances of rose. The journey concludes with notes of ambergris and smoked tea to create a mysterious and lingering trail. An olfactory poem dedicated to those who aspire to capture the essence of eternal love.
Renowned for her singular approach to craft, which combines embroidery, weaving and jewellery techniques applied to paper, Lucie Touré embodies the avant-garde of textile and paper design in France. A graduate of the École Duperré and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris, this paper-folding virtuoso honed her skills in the capital’s most prestigious studios before setting up her own in the heart of Paris in 2018. Her highly sensitive work reflects a relentless quest for perfection, in which every material - pearls, crystals, paper, threads - is chosen with the utmost care.
Inspired by a narrative echoing the legend of Qixi, Lucie Touré has created a composition paying tribute to the Milky Way, where midnight blue, golden, stars and hearts intertwine harmoniously. Each corolla is punctuated at its centre by a faceted blue glass bead that subtly enhances the sparkle of the piece. Like a precious jewel, a movable pendant adorned with two small hearts completes this poetic creation, while a ribbon bow infuses the entire piece with a couture and precious spirit.
An adornment treated like a jewel, without embroidery, but with the meticulous attention to detail of a goldsmith. A delicate assembly of papers enhanced by techniques inspired by jewellery. Each element first comes to life through meticulously crafted drawings, then cut out with extreme precision. The midnight blue paper is then gilded with copper leaf, and the different layers of petals are superimposed with particular care. Finally, each piece is sealed with a faceted blue glass bead. A remarkable balance between technical precision and poetic craftsmanship.
