The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023 and crafted by Thierry Wasser, Imagine Guerlain is a collaboration between the House of Guerlain and Turkish jewelry designer Begüm Khan. This fragrance features an amber-colored nectar that promises a festive trail. The composition opens with Orange Blossom, leading to Benzoin's warm spicy heart, before settling into a base of Sandalwood. It is a blend of white floral, citrus, woody, and balsamic notes, creating a harmonious balance between sweetness and warmth. The iconic Bee Bottle is adorned with a distinctive jewel, an imperial bee at the heart of a radiant golden flower, symbolizing suspended time and festive magic.
For best effect, apply Imagine Guerlain to pulse points. The Orange Blossom top note fades within an hour, but the Benzoin and Sandalwood base notes will linger throughout the day. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a warm, festive scent that feels like a holiday.
