The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1999 by Guerlain, Belle Epoque Limited Edition is a Floral fragrance for women, crafted by Jean-Paul Guerlain. The composition opens with the bright and fruity notes of apricot and orange before transitioning into a heart of jasmine and ylang-ylang, creating an air of opulence and warmth. The base notes of tuberose, vanilla, sandalwood, musk, tonka bean, and vetiver add depth and a powdery sweetness that evokes the luxurious elegance of its namesake era.
Apply Belle Epoque Limited Edition to pulse points for a warm, lingering presence throughout the day. The fragrance builds slowly on skin, so a few sprays in the morning will ensure it develops fully by evening.
