La Petite Robe Noire, Guerlain's historic bottle
Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire Rose Cherry has a certain air of déjà vu, and for good reason… If its timeless allure already looks familiar, it is simply because its bottle is nothing new! First of all, it is inseparable from the entire La Petite Robe Noire collection, but not only that… Its shape is directly derived from two bottles designed in the early nineteenth century. Indeed, this bottle was already used for Guerlain's fragrances l'Heure Bleue and Mitsouko. In this new edition, the cap remains unchanged. It takes the shape of an inverted heart. It calls for love and closeness. What is more, it bears witness to remarkable glasswork. Its rounded shoulders echo feminine sensuality. Only the large tassel that was once tied to its neck has disappeared. Today, it is replaced by a beaded pink fabric ribbon bearing the Guerlain name.
The pale pink gradient of La Petite Robe Noire Rose Cherry
For La Petite Robe Noire Rose Cherry, the crystal-clear glass of this bottle is tinted a pale pink. It is worth noting that this color has been present since the launch of La Petite Robe Noire in 2012. However, in this edition, it is lighter than in the past. Here, the idea is to evoke the delicate color of cherry blossoms in full bloom on a beautiful spring day. These seem to stand out against an azure blue sky. What is more, what better color could embody feminine delicacy and romance? Finally, let us not forget that rose, as a flower, is at the heart of this entire collection.
Who are the artists behind the bottle of La Petite Robe Noire Rose Cherry
The bottle of La Petite Robe Noire Rose Cherry owes its existence first to the talented Serge Mansau. Indeed, it was he who took on the considerable task of reinterpreting and modernizing this historic glass case. Renowned as one of the most prolific designers of his generation, he can boast of having worked for the greatest luxury houses. It is no surprise, then, that the magic works instantly! The small silhouette of La Robe Noire, drawn in India ink on the front of the bottle, is meanwhile the work of the artist duo Deygas and Kuntzel.
The bottle of La Petite Robe Noire Rose Cherry is available in sizes of 30 or 50 ml. It is partly crafted from recycled glass.
