NEROLI OUTRENOIR, A CHIAROSCURO FOR 2024
The 2024 Millésime will radiate Néroli Outrenoir, a fragrant gem in the L’Art & La Matière collection. The luminous neroli note is set off by the sparkling freshness of bergamot and petitgrain which is blending herbaceous nuances. This sumptuous combination of citrus and white flowers notes is confronted against a smoky tea accord giving the fragrance a dark undertone that is complex and captivating in equal measure.
WHEN THE BEE CELEBRATES THE DRAGON
The Guerlain Bee celebrates the sign of the dragon for epitomises the opulent pairing of two emblems: the imperial symbol and the most majestic of legendary creatures. Francesco Truscelli enhances the Bee Bottle, the House immutable icon for nearly 170 years. Dressed in scarlet red for this edition, it is sublimated with a jewel adorned in a trail of faceted crystals around its graceful neck.
A DAZZLINGLY RADIANT JEWEL
Brought into being by Francesco Truscelli’s deft drawing skills, this ink and paper animal came to life in the historic house of Gonthiez Frères. After the lost wax casting step, molten brass is spectacularly reborn as an elegant dragon. Each creation is entrusted into the expert hands of a jeweller who refines and polishes the metal with passion and savoir-faire preparing it for its gold bath of pure 24-carat gold. Positioned one by one by hand, the 142 Swarovski® crystals and the 4 drop-shaped crystals set on chains cut and assembled down to the last link, bring this "jewel bottle" to life.
“JEWELLERY IS WOVEN INTO THE FABRIC OF HISTORY AND FAMILY. WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF FORGING TIES BETWEEN THE GENERATIONS BY REINVENTING TREASURES WORN IN DAYS GONE BY.”
