L’Heure Bleue Eau de Toilette is the eau de toilette of the fragrance Jacques Guerlain composed in 1912, which the house now sells as L’Heure Bleue 1912, among Les Légendaires. Anise and bergamot open, neroli and a carnation accord form the heart, and the base brings together iris, violet, vanilla, benzoin, and tonka bean; inverted-heart bottle, 75 ml.
The 1912 inverted-heart bottle, with Art Nouveau scrolls and a hollowed-heart stopper, in 75 ml.
The eau de toilette uses the 1912 bottle, which Guerlain attributes to Raymond Guerlain: an inverted heart underlined with scrolls typical of Art Nouveau. Its stopper, shaped like a hollowed heart, counts for the house as a technical feat of its time.
The historian Élisabeth de Feydeau links this bottle to the glassmaker Georges Chevalier, at Baccarat. Guerlain offers it in 75 ml, with complimentary personalized engraving.
