GUERLAIN L'Heure Bleue 1912 Eau de Parfum

The scent of time standing still.
The fragrance both evokes and commands the memory of the woman who wears it… for an elegant, tender woman with a secret sensuality.
A bouquet of sweet, delicate flowers, enveloped in a powdery mist, drifting toward oriental notes, The Blue Hour, a floral, aromatic, and deeply romantic fragrance, can be described as a true masterpiece, a landmark in the history of perfumery.
Pure emotion in a bottle designed by George Chevalier. Accented by graceful arabesques, the body of The Blue Hour features the characteristic scrollwork of Art Nouveau. Its avant-garde cap, shaped like a hollowed-out heart, evokes romanticism and was a true technical feat.

The fragrance:
Oriental floral. Captivating, moving, enchanting. At the top, the fragrance transports us with the freshness of bergamot and the boldness of anise. At the heart, the carnation and neroli accord intoxicates us; a touch of spice, a touch of freshness, and plenty of sensuality. The base, oriental and powdery, is the most captivating and gives The Blue Hour its sweet, delicate scents: powdery notes of iris and violet, and rich, indulgent notes of vanilla, benzoin, and tonka bean. Enveloped in velvety warmth, the fragrance takes on a texture so soft and captivating that it feels like a silk veil on a woman’s skin.
