The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021, L'Heure Bleue Eau de Toilette by Guerlain is a reimagining of the classic Oriental Floral fragrance originally crafted by Jacques Guerlain. This composition opens with aromatic spices and bergamot before transitioning into a heart of violet, carnation, neroli, tuberose, rose, and iris. The base notes of vanilla, benzoin, and tonka bean create a warm, powdery embrace that is both comforting and elegant.
Apply two sprays to the pulse points. The aromatic spices and bergamot will quickly fade, leaving the heart and base notes to unfold over several hours. This fragrance is best suited for intimate settings where it can be appreciated up close rather than across a room.

Jacques Guerlain
The poet of the golden ageJacques Guerlain is one of the greatest perfumers who ever lived — the man who gave the world Shalimar, Mitsouko, L'Heure Bleue, and Vol de Nuit. As the third-generation perfumer of the House of Guerlain, he elevated the family craft into high art.
“Perfumery? It is a matter of patience.”
