Luxury fragrances

Guerlain
The Bee With Silver Wings
Guerlain’s L’Abeille bottle has been envisioned by jewellery designer Lorenz Bäume. Limited to 50 bottles, a handblown crystal sculpture forms the bee’s body and faceted wings envelop the sides. The fragrance formulated by the legendary nose of Thierry Wasser is built around honey. The Bee, the Guerlain emblem, takes the form of a precious handmade bottle that perfectly embodies everything most sublime, infinitely beautiful and rare about artistic craftsmanship. The bee’s famous wings glow with silver glimmers that enhance its body of Baccarat crystal.
the glass cap closed so that opening and closing the bottle becomes a graceful, feminine gesture. The neck is encircled with a noce leather ribbon and fixed with an antique brass butterfly seal. Finally, there is the juice, a deep shade of amber typical of Murano glass.


Designed to Dazzle

1 Issey Miyake
Pleats Please
This collector’s bottle is decorated in silver, enhancing each facet with a subtle element of assymetry, elegance and sophistication. Heliotrope, the luminous sunflower, shapes the bouquet which is enveloped with powdery accents of gardenia. To enhance the link with Miyake fashion, the bottle comes with a pleated fabric pouch in a delicious white and adorned with a small drawstring cord.

2 Lalique
Fleur de Cristal
Since its creation, Lalique Parfums accompanies each of its lines with a prestigious Crystal Flacon in a Signed and Numbered Edition. To produce this flacon, the master-glassmakers gathered the melted
crystal by hand at the end of a blowing iron. The flacon is thus mouthblown and its stopper is moulded by hand. Then comes the work on the flacon and its prestigious stopper, decorated with sprigs
of lily of the valley to sandblast, polish, sign and number it. Ground and paired in the traditional fashion, the stopper is custom-made for its flacon.

3 Van Cleef & Arpels
Feerie
The bottle evokes a faceted gem reflecting lights to infinity. The Eau de Parfum version is deep blue, dark and mysterious. The Eau de Toilette adopts light tints of a charming aquamarine. The cabochon features a mischievious fairy perched on a branch. A fabulous interpretation of the magical and natural world of Van Cleef & Arpels.

4 Bottega Veneta
Fleur
The Murano bottle is a particularly pure expression of the quality and craftsmanship of Bottega Veneta. The flacon, designed by creative director Tomas Maier as a vessel for the parfum, is an object of timeless sophistication and contemporary functionality. The bottle is made of exceptionally fine glass hand-blown by artisans on the island of Murano. An intrecciato motif is etched onto the base using a unique die-cut technique, while the Bottega Veneta logo is sandblasted on the side. A frosted Emery collar sticks

5 Paco Rabanne
1 Million and Lady Million
Extravagant and bolder than ever, adorned in 18-carat gold, these two fragrances are genuine objects d’art. In a Perspex safe case created by the designer Cédric Ragot, these two fragrances affirm their style in a premium creation. A classic example of real gold craftsmanship, the bottles which have been inspired by the gold ingot and diamond, capture the light and shine with a thousand sparks. The safe, designed like one found in a bank, reveals an ingenious mechanism and an ultra-modern aesthetic. The bottle exudes a feeling of rare finesse. An elegant gold PR logo is set in the door. Boasting extremely pure lines, the safe
reveals two Perspex ramps on which the luxurious bottles are placed, as if they were levitating.

6 Narciso Rodriguez
Essence
Narciso Rodriguez’s Prestige limited edition of Essence, only 200 of which have been produced for the entire world, for women, is nestled in an ultra-feminine, handcrafted jewel box that’s inspired by the couture universe of the New York designer. This handmade coffret is a real case for the 1 lt essence perfume inspired by the fashion universe of the designer (precision, soberness, attention to detail). The soft-sculpted glass and elemental shapes allude to a woman’s contours to form an exquisite object of art.
These are perfume bottles not just swathed in crystals, but statement-stoppers that come with a heavy price. Rama Sreekant presents a bouquet of some uniquely designed bottles
