2025 millésime exhales Rouge Bonheur, an exclusive Eau de Parfum for this event. A perfect balance of spicy freshness, blossom, and woody depth, it embodies the very essence of the Chinese New Year spirit. Opening with enchanting spicy notes of pepper and ginger, the fragrance then unveils a floral heart of rose and magnolia, before revealing comforting notes of cedar and white musk.
Guerlain celebrates the grandiose union of its emblematic bee and the sign of the serpent, the imperial symbol and the majestic reptile. Francesco Truscelli has created a sublime edition of the Bee Bottle, the House's immutable icon born in 1853 and still made by Pochet du Courval. For this edition, it is dressed in scarlet and features a sumptuous snake. The reptile, embellished with forty-nine sparkling Swarovski® crystals, embraces the elegant curves of the bottle.
Born of the talented pencil strokes of Francesco Truscelli, this ink and paper animal came to life thanks to the ancestral know-how of the Gonthiez Frères House . After the lost wax casting step, molten brass is spectacularly reborn as a sumptuous snake. Each creation is entrusted into the expert hands of a jeweller who refines and polishes the metal with passion and savoir-faire, before diving it in its gold bath of pure 24-carat gold. The final stage, the forty-seven transparent Swarovski® crystals and the two "Scarlet" red crystals used as eyes are positioned one by one by hand, finally bringing this "jewel of a bottle" to life.
Virtuoso in the art of transforming and bringing a new lease of life to the jewellery of yesteryear, the Italian-born jeweller, an emotion creator, and a bespoke specialist, forges ties between family generations. He shares a deep attachment to know-how and transmission, values which are also dear to the House of Guerlain.
