The story behind the bottle.
Le Flacon Tortue Red Edition by Baccarat is a vibrant floral-woody fragrance that captures the essence of Guerlain's opulent heritage while embracing modern innovation. Launched in 2024 and crafted by master perfumer Thierry Wasser, this scent opens with bright black currant and violet, giving way to a heart of peach and almond blossom. The base notes of sandalwood and vanilla create a warm, enveloping finish that lingers on the skin. This composition is a harmonious blend of freshness and sweetness, reflecting Guerlain's long-standing tradition of using luxurious materials.
For optimal wear, apply two sprays to pulse points. The bright top notes will fade within a couple of hours, but the rich base notes will continue to develop and provide lasting warmth throughout the day.
