The house of Guerlain boasts extraordinary longevity. As a result, its catalog of perfumes is absolutely immense! What is more, the house can pride itself on having crafted one of the most beautiful collections of eaux fraîches in all of perfumery: the Aqua Allegoria line. In 2023, Guerlain decided to revisit some of these fragrances to turn them into more prestigious editions that are more respectful of nature. Such is the case with Aqua Allegoria Harvest Rosa Rossa by Guerlain.
Sun-drenched fruits, leaves trembling on a beautiful spring day, tender herbs, a lush nature... The Aqua Allegoria fragrances are all compositions synonymous with optimism and joie de vivre. They are allegories of nature conceived in a bucolic way. Inviting escape, Guerlain decided to turn some of them into prestigious editions, in limited series, with more responsible and sustainable ingredients. Such is the case with Aqua Allegoria Harvest Rosa Rossa by Guerlain and its sublime Bee Bottle with rosy glints.
Guerlain's iconic Bee Bottle
Like all the Aqua Allegoria fragrances, Rosa Rossa by Guerlain comes in a modern reinterpretation of the iconic Bee Bottle. First created in 1853 for the Empress Eugénie, it takes us back into Guerlain's prestigious history. Since 1999, it has been irrevocably linked to the Aqua Allegoria line. Instantly recognizable, it consists of a glass cylinder topped with a dome. Its top is embellished with finely carved, gilded honeycomb cells, as well as a shimmering bead decorated with a bee. Inseparable from Guerlain, the bee symbolizes the preservation of nature. In this more prestigious version, it should be noted that the label of Aqua Allegoria Harvest Rosa Rossa by Guerlain has also been embellished with a pink watercolor, drawn by the artist Laura Gulshani.
The strong symbolism of the pink color of Aqua Allegoria Harvest Rosa Rossa
Like all its predecessors, Aqua Allegoria Harvest Rosa Rossa by Guerlain has its own distinctive color. Here, it is a pink hue. Intense and vivid, it echoes tenderness and romance. The absolute color of love, it is also imbued with delicacy. This is also why pink is often associated with childhood and softness. A sign of happiness and optimism, it echoes the expression seeing life through rose-colored glasses. Finally, the freshness of this shade is a nod to the lush nature contained within this case. Naturally, Aqua Allegoria Harvest Rosa Rossa by Guerlain refers to roses in full bloom in spring.
Guerlain redesigns its bottle in an eco-responsible way
Finally, because Guerlain is deeply attached to nature, the house also makes sure to protect it sustainably, and this extends to its bottle as well. Since 2022, all the Bee Bottles in the Aqua Allegoria collection have been redesigned. They are now more responsible. Available in sizes of 75 ml or 125 ml, they can be refilled. Once empty, one simply slides on a 200 ml refill. Easy to use, it features an anti-drip system. Note that the bottle of Aqua Allegoria Harvest Rosa Rossa by Guerlain is also made of 15% recycled glass. Manufactured and assembled in France, it beautifully demonstrates Guerlain's commitments. Finally, it comes in a shell made of cellulose, 100% recyclable and sourced from sustainably managed forests.
