Since its founding, the house of Guerlain has never stopped drawing inspiration from all the beauties of the world. Its fragrances have the gift of transporting people to distant lands with a single breath. This is also how the Aqua Allegoria Harvest perfumes were conceived.

The Aqua Allegoria fragrances are iconic perfumes from the house of Guerlain. They are inspired by gardens from around the world. All of them showcase iconic raw materials used by perfumers, enhanced in eaux fraîches that are always very summery. In 2023, Guerlain decided to transform some of its Aqua Allegoria formulas into more responsible versions, with ingredients that are sustainably cultivated. This is the case with Aqua Allegoria Harvest Madarine Basilic by Guerlain. However, while the fragrance changes, this juice is still presented in Guerlain's iconic Bee Bottle.
Guerlain's legendary Bee Bottle
Like all Aqua Allegoria fragrances, Madarine Basilic by Guerlain comes in a contemporary reinterpretation of Guerlain's Bee Bottle. As a reminder, it was designed in 1853 for Empress Eugénie. It is thus a powerful symbol of Guerlain's history and its noble past. Recognizable by its finely chiseled dome, it was nonetheless modernized in 1999. Since then, it has been inseparable from this fragrance collection. More specifically, it is a transparent glass cylinder, decorated with a white label. At its summit, a honeycomb dome shines brilliantly and plays with light. This is further topped by a golden bead engraved with Guerlain's emblematic bee.

When the packaging of Aqua Allegoria Harvest Madarine Basilic is enhanced with watercolor
Since Aqua Allegoria Harvest Madarine Basilic by Guerlain is a prestige edition, the brand decided to enhance its packaging with an even more enchanting design. For the occasion, it is decorated with a pattern of flowers and wheat signed by artist Laura Gulshani. This colorful label brings together three harmonies of hues. The whole resembles a delicate floral watercolor.
Guerlain opts for a more responsible bottle
Finally, another significant change: since 2022, Guerlain has chosen to completely transform its Bee Bottle to make it more resource-efficient. It can now be refilled. Presented in 75 ml or 125 ml editions, this bottle can be refilled again using a 200 ml refill. Note that it is also made from 15% recycled glass. Manufactured and assembled in France, it is covered with a cellulose shell, itself sourced from eco-managed forests and 100% recyclable. More than ever, the bottle of Aqua Allegoria Harvest Madarine Basilic reaffirms Guerlain's commitments to protecting the planet.
