The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 21 April 2023 4 Comments

By my count, the fourth model from Guerlain honoring the 170th birthday of the bee bottle (see Maison Matisse Couleur Bonheur, Bouquet de la Mariée Murano edition, Reve d’Amour Nadine Kanso edition, and that's not counting this year's Cherry Blossom or Muguet editions): Bee Garden, a 100% upcycled* fruity floral with rhubarb, bergamot, jasmine, rose, neroli, cedar, sandalwood and black tea.

The 1 liter bottle will run you €60,000, assuming you can get your hands on it (only 1 was made). It features decorations by artist Céline Cléron, including hand-gilded flowers, bees and butterflies, all done in biscuit porcelain with stems in 24 carat gold.

Bee Garden is presented in a wood box with more gold details, and includes three additional 100 ml bottles.

(quote via luxepackaginginsight, additional information via vogue.fr, quotidien-libre.fr)

* For the upcycled materials, Guerlain "worked with circular economy start-up OASHE, which won the Sustainable Beauty Challenge in 2019 sponsored by Cosmetic Valley and LVMH Recherche", see more here.

    Thanks for letting me not embarrass myself by asking how much this will set me back! 🤣

      I do like this bottle more than the Murano one, but the Murano is a comparative bargain 🙂

      It’s too bad Guerlain doesn’t have a points program!
