The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022, L'Heure Bleue Yves Klein Edition by Guerlain is a reimagining of the classic Oriental Floral fragrance originally created by Jacques Guerlain. This composition opens with a bright, fresh accord featuring bergamot and neroli, which gently yields to the heart notes of violet and iris — two florals that are both delicate and complex. The base layers of vanilla, benzoin, and tonka bean add warmth and depth, creating an overall effect that is at once powdery and enveloping. This fragrance embodies Guerlain's legacy of using luxurious materials and innovative techniques to craft lasting scents.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a gentle build that unfolds over time. The powdery base notes will last throughout the day, making it perfect for both daytime wear and evening events.

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.”
