The Story

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.

Jacques Guerlain portrait
When I created Shalimar, I was thinking of the great love stories — of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal.

Jacques 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. Working in the legendary Guerlain laboratory on the Champs-Élysées, he drew inspiration from love, literature, and travel to create fragrances of unprecedented emotional depth. Shalimar, inspired by the gardens of the Taj Mahal and his love affair with a woman whose identity remains mysterious, is perhaps the most celebrated perfume in history.
