In a dazzling tribute to French luxury and a nod to history, Guerlain unveils the Le Flacon Tortue Red Edition by Baccarat. This striking anniversary edition marks the 110th milestone of Guerlain’s iconic boutique on Paris’ famed Avenue des Champs-Élysées, presenting the renowned Flacon Tortue in a captivating shade of Baccarat red for the first time.
The Flacon Tortue, designed to resemble a turtle, holds deep historical significance. As a playful nod to Aesop’s fable, ‘The Tortoise and the Hare,’ the design pays homage to the boutique’s delayed opening in 1914. Now, in its limited Red Edition, the bottle becomes an exquisite symbol of luxury and heritage.
Crafted by the esteemed House of Baccarat, the bottle features 88 meticulously polished facets, showcasing the intense red crystal that makes this Métier d’Art edition truly exceptional. The Dames de Table at Guerlain add a touch of artistry by combing silk threads with precision using the ancient technique of ‘barbichage’ and sealing the bottle’s neck with a delicate wax seal.
The Le Flacon Tortue Red Edition by Baccarat for Guerlain is not only a visual marvel but also a sensorial delight. The fragrance inside boasts a captivating blend, with top notes of Black Currant, Violet, Almond, Peach, Melon, and Anise; middle notes of Lily-of-the-Valley, Almond Blossom, Hibiscus, Mimosa, Peony, Lilac, and Rose; and base notes of Almond Tree, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Benzoin, and Cedar.
