The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2010, L’Abeille de Guerlain by Sonia Constant is a luxurious and exclusive fragrance that embodies the elegance and heritage of the renowned French perfume house. The bee, a symbol of the brand since Pierre-François Pascal Guerlain created perfumes for Empress Eugenie Montijo, takes center stage in this composition. L’Abeille de Guerlain captures the essence of a flower garden with notes of mimosa, grape, orange blossom, jasmine, lilac, orris root, and honey. The scent is designed to evoke the intricate relationship between bees and flowers, creating a lush and sweet bouquet that feels both fresh and powdery.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance sparingly — it blooms gradually over time. The honey and floral notes will linger close to your skin, making it perfect for a day at work or an evening out.
