Guerlain has launched their annual limited edition version of Muguet. The fragrance celebrates the May Day tradition of offering sprigs of lily of the valley to loved ones.
This year's model features an older Guerlain bottle rather than the usual limited edition design. The muguet flowers around the neck were made by Maison Legeron; both the flowers and the ribbon were embellished by French embroidery house Atelier Bizet.
The notes feature green notes, muguet, rose and jasmine.
Guerlain Muguet 2017 will be available in 125 ml Eau de Toilette, €430.
You can see older Guerlain Muguet editions here: 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016.

Update: the US price is $480.
I love LOTV. Maybe one day I will have a chance to sniff this. Does anyone know how it smells?
I have not smelled one in a few years, but even then it was way too clean and basic for me. Your mileage may vary
Ha, Ha…it’s quite expensive, eh?
Is it my imagination, or does this look a lot cheaper than usual? Seeing the photo, my first thought was a new Aqua Allegoria.
WAY cheaper. The idea that they’re using the same basic bottle they use for their linen spray, adding an embroidered ribbon with a few fake flowers, and still charging €430 = comical, at best. Even if I wanted Guerlain Muguet, this would not be the year I’d ante up.
I hate them for making this so expensive.
I should mention that I have not seen the price online anywhere other than what Monsieur Guerlain has reported. I hope he is correct. So, you might want to wait and see what it costs when it hits stores here.
In 2015 the price in euros was the same (430) and the price at Nordstrom was $605. I don’t know what it was in 2016.
Is the edt same juice every year and just a different bottle? Or do they change the formula as well?
They change it every so often, but from what I can see, not drastically.
The formula has stayed unchanged since 1998, however last year Thierry Wasser introduced a new formula which is the one being reused every year from now on.
LOTV ?
N. O.
YMMV
Around $650 for a bottle of perfume? No thanks, I might have spent $300 one bottle of perfume but I have limits.
