L'Heure Bleue Eau de Toilette

L'Heure Bleue by Guerlain, a monument of perfumery

L'Heure Bleue by Guerlain is a timeless perfume that came into being in 1912. As is now clear, it has more than 100 years on the clock and still manages to preserve a unique emotion. Far more than a simple Guerlain perfume, it is a legend of perfumery.

A perfume inspired by a unique moment: L'Heure Bleue

L'Heure Bleue by Guerlain is inspired by a precise moment, when night has not yet fallen but the sun has just disappeared. It possesses the fleetingness of a precious instant. It is described as the suspended hour, the hour when everything is silent, the hour when man finally finds himself in harmony with the world and the light. L'Heure Bleue is a concentrate of emotions addressed to a sensitive, modest and romantic woman.

An essence synonymous with tenderness

L'Heure Bleue by Guerlain is a soft, floral perfume. It is akin to a velvet caress. It begins with a fresh alliance of bergamot and anise. Then, its heart is enriched with jasmine and Bulgarian rose. Violet and tuberose further amplify its elegance. Finally, L'Heure Bleue rests on a softer base of bitter almond, iris and vanilla. The result is a particularly refined composition.

The timeless bottle of L'Heure Bleue

But L'Heure Bleue by Guerlain would be nothing without its bottle... Square in silhouette, it is topped with comma-shaped shoulders. Its cap, for its part, has the appearance of an inverted heart. Its sun-kissed radiance is expressed through a bright yellow color. The whole is also adorned with a silk cord attached to a golden seal. As a matter of historical note, this bottle has today given rise to the most recent design of La Petite Robe Noire.

The L'Heure Bleue Eau de Toilette by Guerlain

The perfume both suggests and imposes the memory of the woman who wears it... for an elegant, tender woman of secret sensuality. Massed with sweet, delicate flowers, wrapped in a powdery breath, drifting toward oriental notes, L'Heure Bleue, a floral, aromatic and highly romantic perfume, can be described as a true masterpiece, a monument in the history of perfumery.

Oriental Floral. Endearing, moving, captivating. At the top, the fragrance carries us into the freshness of bergamot and the boldness of the anise note. In the heart, the carnation accord and neroli intoxicate us; a touch of spice, a touch of freshness and a great deal of sensuality. The base, oriental and powdery, is the most striking and gives L'Heure Bleue its sweet effluvia: a powdery note of iris and violet, a gourmand note of vanilla, benzoin and tonka bean. The perfume, wrapped in a velvety warmth, takes on a texture so soft and so captivating that it feels like a veil of silk on a woman's skin.

At the very moment the sun fades on the horizon and the sky takes on the velvet of night, L'Heure Bleue spreads its atmosphere.
It is with an armful of sweet, delicate flowers, wrapped in a powdery breath of oriental notes, that Jacques Guerlain celebrates this fleeting instant. His perfume L'Heure Bleue is thus an exquisite hymn to the sweetness of life and to romanticism. It expresses with grandeur the moment when night has not yet found its star.

Presented in a modern sculpture dedicated to the great lovers of Guerlain perfumes, the refillable spray bottle offers a glimpse of the mystery of the perfume and recalls the fine chiseling of a precious jewel.

Highly prized by Parisian clients, L'Heure Bleue is at once tender and sensual. Worn by celebrated artists across the eras, its sillage is absolutely unforgettable.
