Guerlain celebrates spring flowers with fragrance limited editions

To mark May Day and the lily-of-the-valley flower, Guerlain (LVMH) called on Ateliers Vermont to craft an adornment for its bee bottle fragrance flacon (Pochet du Courval). The Parisian embroidery house created a silk taffeta bow using the Japanese technique of Shibori, an ancestral art of folding and hot forming. It is hand-embroidered with lily-of-the-valley flowers made of lace, featuring a crystal at their center.

The flacon holds Guerlain’s Muguet fragrance, an eau de toilette that blends notes of lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, and rose. Limited to 3,433 numbered pieces, the scent retails at €790 for a 125ml bottle, accompanied by a 30ml travel spray and a gilt funnel.
