The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Muguet 2023 by Guerlain is the latest iteration of a springtime tradition that has spanned over a century. Thierry Wasser crafted this Floral Green scent to capture the essence of lily-of-the-valley, a flower celebrated for its luck and purity in French culture. The fragrance opens with a fresh, soapy quality that gives way to delicate white florals and green notes, creating a composition that feels both crisp and soothing. This year’s edition is particularly special as it marks the 170th anniversary of Guerlain's iconic Flacon aux Abeilles, adorned in sumptuous ceramic and embroidery by artisans Karen Swami and Ateliers Vermont.

How to wear it

This EDT is best applied in layers for a subtle yet lingering effect. The soapy top notes dissipate quickly, but the floral heart and green base notes continue to develop on the skin throughout the day.
