IN THEIR STARRY HIVE, THE BEES ARE SECRETLY REINVENTING THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS…

This year, Guerlain is once again inviting us to discover an extraordinary hive and taking us on a journey to the stars.

Secretly, in this immense starry hive, the magic comes to life in a whirlwind of glitter and shimmering ribbons.

The bees buzz back and forth against this enchanting gold and white backdrop as they make thousands of Christmas gifts and put the final finishing touches to the creations that they are preparing to deliver across the globe.

THE ENCHANTING APPEAL OF STARRY MAKE-UP

In the Hive of Wonders, the iconic Guerlain makeup products designed by Violette, Guerlain Makeup Creative Director, are sprinkled with an exquisite stardust.

The Ombres G palette and its four vibrant shades designed by Violette promise to leave you starry-eyed. Pure gold, bronze, delicate pink and burgundy form a warm harmony for a captivating look.

The Christmas version of Terracotta, the iconic product that warms and brightens up the chilliest winter skin tones, is infused with fine golden pearlescent pigments for a radiant healthy glow.

The glow-enhancing multi-purpose Gel-Gloss can be applied both on the cheeks and as a top-coat over eyeshadow or lipstick. Its translucent formula with rose gold pearlescent pigments catches the light and creates a mirror effect that adds a new dimension to make-up. The beautifying multi-use Gel-Gloss puts the perfect finishing touch to your festive look.

Especially for the occasion, both the Rouge G and its holiday limited shades have been engraved with delicate stars and come in two satiny shades (pinkish beige and garnet red) and two velvety matte shades (intense plum and bright red).

AN EXCEPTIONAL ROUGE G CASE

True to its exceptionally close attachment to luxury craftsmanship, Guerlain has once again invited Studio Baqué Molinié and its talented embroiders to handcraft a bespoke adornment for Rouge G. Embroidered with sparkling silver-coloured and golden beads, a shooting star stands out against an elegant black velvet case, symbolizing the midnight sky above the Starry Hive.

This jewel case forms part of an exclusive numbered gift set alongside best-selling shade N°214, an iconic fiery red with a satin finish.

A limited edition that celebrates a moment suspended in time: the wonderful magic of Christmas…

L’ART & LA MATIÈRE: AN EXCEPTIONAL GIFT FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE CHRISTMAS

Through 21 Haute Parfumerie olfactory masterpieces, the L’Art & La Matière collection selects the finest raw materials to reveal an unprecedented daring facet through powerfully creative eaux de parfum – each and every one a dream Christmas gift.

For a final touch of magic, the L’Art & La Matière bottles can be personalised to make every fragrance unique and specially designed with the recipient in mind.

Guerlain is celebrating its iconic bee with a new exceptional plate available as an edition of 500 pieces worldwide, created by Atelier Truscelli. The Parisian jeweller and friend of the Guerlain House has drawn on its artisanal know-how and fine craftsmanship to produce this sparkling plate, which has been dipped in gold and pavé-set by hand with 30 stones.

ALL-NEW SURPRISES FOR CHRISTMAS…

Specially for Christmas 2022, L’Art du Geste, a new collection of scented hand soaps and body lotions, introduces a complete olfactory ritual within the L’Art & La Matière Collection. These two new fragrance gestures extend the signature trails of Néroli Outrenoir, Rose Chérie, and Herbes Troublantes to offer an exceptional immersion.

The rich and extremely sensorial texture of the scented hand soap turns into an airy foam on contact with water, leaving skin soft and delicately scented. The light yet intensely hydrating formula of the scented hand and body lotion melts exquisitely into skin with a delicate velvety finish.

The new 300 ml bottle has been crafted by Pochet du Courval, Guerlain’s historical glassmaker, and can be endlessly refilled with a range of refill pouches.

An all-new object embodying the magic of this starry Christmas, the exclusive 2.3 kg Giant Scented Candle welcomes the signature scent of Encens d’Hiver.

Mingling precious notes of frankincense, smoked tea and cedarwood, the Encens d’Hiver trail transports you to the snow-covered plains and absolute silence of the Far North. The fruit of exceptional expertise and meticulous craftsmanship, this creation is cast without a jar and faceted by hand according to ancestral artisanal know-how to disperse its magical and mysterious scent for 150 hours.

A range of exceptional gifts to celebrate the magic of the Christmas festivities with the L’Art & La Matière Collection.

SUMPTUOUS COLLECTOR’S GIFT SETS

To celebrate the end-of-year festivities, the House’s magnificent gift boxes are dressed in a unique creation inspired by the enchanted world of this starry Christmas, created by Aleksandra Miletić.

Known for her intricate drawings, the artist and illustrator has dreamt up exclusive, delicate and elaborate decoration.

Her extraordinarily detailed drawings depict this starry Christmas story, with a series of animated scenes featuring flowers, iconic bottles, tassels and, of course, the bee, Guerlain’s emblematic figure.

The women’s gift set, adorned with gold, opens by unravelling a shimmering glittery ribbon and incorporates some of our finest fragrance creations: Aqua Allegoria, La Petite Robe Noire, Shalimar and many others…

To highlight the magic of Christmas, each gift set contains a detachable decoration designed to be inscribed with a wish that the bees will grant…

For the men’s version, the gift set is dressed in silver and white.

As the contents can be removed, each gift set can be reused long after the end of the festivities to store your personal treasures.

Embodying the perfect blend of exceptional design and responsible commitment, Guerlain has carefully sourced the materials used to make the gifts of its Starry Hive: the paper comes from FSC¹ -certified forests, the size of the gift sets has been altered, and the normal plastic sheath has also been replaced with FSC¹ -certified paper.

¹ In accordance with the standards of the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council®), our boxes are made of wood fibers from ecologically appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable forest management.
