ByTerry Fragrance Soleil Piquant

Inspiration reaches its zenith

“I offer you this olfactive imprint full of sunlight, a most alluring Eau de Parfum, wildly uninhibited –, like the celestial orb from which it has been inspired.” Said: “Terry de Gunzburg”

The woman for whom has been created is the embodiment of a dazzling, “boho beauty” who revels in the heat of the Ibizan sun and whose spirit shines brightly. These sensual and sizzling-hot scents celebrate a desire born of idle days, sparked by the burning sun, and the passion of tempestuous nights, undulating with a rhythm that cannot be denied.

On the skin, the zesty freshness of Neroli reveals itself boldly, buoyed by sparkling Mandarin, then is daringly defied by Cactus and Almond blossoms with a balmy caress. It is this intensely exuberant expression of sunlight that surrounds the boho-chic woman – a highlight unpredictable creature, she radiates seduction. Now she truly owns her place in the sun… Solar, 365 days a year.

Soleil Piquant embodies lazy summer days luxuriously spent lounging in front of a sun-drenched, turquoise blue sea. Let your fantasies take flight. Filter the sun’s burning rays behind your mirrored shades. Bask in the warmth of your suntanned, salty, caramelized skin. Line the base of your lashes with a smudgy kohl. Slip on a floral-patterned kaftan and wander into an art gallery. Sip an aperitif on the patio. Stroll around Ibiza and take pleasure in the island’s vibrancy and kaleidoscopic colors. At sunset, succumb to the irresistible beat of electro which fills the night air. Dance barefoot on the silky sand as darkness washes over you. Submit to nighttime’s temptations. Give yourself entirely to the unpredictable. Abandon your inhibitions and set yourself free!

An ode to femininity

At Terry de Gunzburg’s request, renowned French perfumer Benoist Lapouza has orchestrated an epicurean and highly original, first-of-its-kind Neroli. Creating everything in duality, he dares the absolute paradoxes, between brightness and sweetness, shade and light, that which is hidden and revealed. This floral – solar scent, as addictive as a cologne, but highly concentrated (20%), is composed of natural ingredients, the inimitable signature of a very elegant High Perfumer, singed BY TERRY.

A pyramid of contrasting notes

The first lure, the Orange blossom, exposes itself, glorified by the sparkling freshness of a distinguished Mandarin and a Bergamot of Calabria, then is transported by an undulating “Sea breeze” accord. The second enticement – Neroli blooms – offers more sweetness and sunniness. It’s subtly tamed by the noble powder Iris and, the next moment, totally seduced by the Flowers of the almond tree, so soft and creamy, then literally roused by the Flowers of cactus with a prickly skin and sweet heart. They embody the provocative freedom of the devilishly wild and irrepressibly radiant “Boho-chic” woman. Finally, the olfactive trail asserts itself to draw you in even more, to the very borders of misbehaving. The woody, luxurious and enigmatic notes lie in wait to ambush you. Patchouli, Gaïac wood and Vetiver are haloed with a veil of Vanilla, the olfactory ingredients of a lust-worthy liaison.

A dazzling duality, embodied by the bottle itself

Gloriously displayed within its glass case, the fragrance’s vivid yellow color is evocative of a blazing sun. In an artful play of contrasts, this brilliant sunny hue competes with the famous mercury drop – the BY TERRY signature – which, in cool silver tone, serves as the bottle’s stopper.

The Bee Glow revolution from Guerlain

An unprecedented concept, BEE GLOW shakes up the codes of beauty, delivering EXCEPTIONAL HYDRATION and a “wet-look” effect that captures light to restore the VOLUME of the face and RESCULPT it. A SKINCARE CREAM and SKIN ENHANCER in one, BEE GLOW offers women the PROMISE of YOUTHFUL-LOOKING RADIANCE.

A philosophy FROM ASIA

Powdery or matte effects are old hat… Always at the cutting edge when it comes to beauty, Korean women now favour skincare creams bursting with water, the new guarantee of a youthful glow.

Nowadays, their Holy Grail is “honey glow skin”, i.e. skin that is as smooth and luminous as honey. Taking its inspiration from this trend, Guerlain has created BEE GLOW, a fluid offering optimal hydration that combines unprecedented benefits for a Guerlain product. While targeting wrinkles and fine lines, it offers a shiny, “wet-look” effect that highlights facial volumes. Skin is perfectly smooth and captures natural light. This light restructures the face, which appears rejuvenated and radiates a real glow.

A SKINCARE PRODUCT and make-up in one

An anti-ageing and skin-enhancing fluid in one, Bee Glow is a hybrid concept that shakes up the codes of beauty, delivering benefits that have never before been combined in a Guerlain product.

BEE GLOW is an ultra-fresh multi-purpose product that pairs sensory pleasure with total freedom. It offers a hydrating benefit, but also plays the role of finisher, enhancing skin for those who do not wish to wear make-up. It also serves as a base and illuminates the face before make-up. A little touch of BEE GLOW after applying TERRACOTTA powder creates a more natural finish.

Concentrated TECHNOLOGIES

A product from the Abeille Royale line, Bee Glow combines the most exclusive raw ingredients: royal jelly from hives located in Sologne and exceptional honey from Ouessant island. The fruit of long months of research, this fluid hydrates and strengthens the epidermis***. It recreates an optimal skin barrier, which provides protection from external aggressors***, thereby limiting skin dryness.

Hour after hour, your face remains perfectly firm and radiant. This glow is achieved thanks to another technological feat: BEE GLOW incorporates a new generation of pearl micro-particles into its composition, which reflect light while remaining totally invisible and avoiding excess shine.

A product acclaimed by WOMEN

After several series of laboratory tests , last spring Guerlain launched a major study with the cooperation of 60 Asian women who used Bee Glow for one month. The results show an exceptional degree of satisfaction.

98%***  of women observed an instant effect: skin that is more hydrated, smoother, plumper, more luminous and more translucent.

100%*** of them are satisfied with the benefit provided after one month’s use.

88%*** stated that they prefer Bee Glow to their usual product.

*** Satisfaction self-test, 1 month’s use, 60 women in China

A MINI REVOLUTION in the world of cosmetics, Bee Glow is a multi-purpose product that combines effectiveness, pleasure and freedom. An ANTI-AGEING fluid and skin enhancer in one, it reinforces the volume of the f ace, illuminates and restructures it, giving it a YOUTHFUL radiance.

Guerlain MÉTÉORITES Summer

SUMMER IS HERE AND GUERLAIN OFFERS an explosion of coloursTHE LATEST ADDITIONS TO the Météorites range REVEAL NATURAL BEAUTY BY PAIRING colour correction AND radianceSparkling freshness, PLAYFUL PEARLS AND A FRUITY, POWDERY FRAGRANCE… A RAINBOW OF SENSUALITY FOR a summer season FOCUSED ON joyful AND luminous seduction.

MÉTÉORITES RAINBOW PEARLS

Now iconic, they deserved to be celebrated with a collector’s case. This summer, these light-revealing pearls of powder indulge in an arty rainbow-coloured case.

THE COLLECTOR’S CASE: SO ARTY!

It opens to unveil the Météorites, which combine delicateness, radiance and sheer correction: pink pearls to provide freshness, mauve to help catch the light, yellow to even out skin tone, blue to revive a dull complexion, apricot to brighten shadowy areas and green to diminish redness. Applied with the Guerlain Météorites brush, the Météorites pearls infuse the skin with radiance by helping to trap the light with the Stardust technology and its diamond powder.

MÉTÉORITES LE PARFUM

AN OLFACTORY IMMERSION IN THE HEART OF THE COLOURFUL AND ENCHANTING MÉTÉORITES WORLD

Guerlain aimed to capture all the freshness and delicateness of the legendary Météorites in a fragrance. These multi-coloured pearls of powder that reveal the beauty of each woman also make a statement with their delicate violet scent. Thierry Wasser, master perfumer of the House, sought to recreate the Météorites’ sweet and enveloping smell by entering the pearl manufacturing workshop for the very first time. He reworked violet in its every facet: from its wafting green notes to its woody base to its powdery notes. In the top notes, an apple note adds a slightly tangy fruity touch, while rose and violet notes swirl together into a floral bouquet deliciously revealed by the sensuality of white musks.

The fragrance is housed in the same round bottle as Terracotta Le Parfum, crowned with a silvery spray and a slightly pearly pink cap. The textured paper label takes up one of the emblems of the Météorites range: the festoon in the colours of the powder pearls, spruced up with dashes of silver. Météorites Le Parfum, 100 mL.

KISSKISS

THE SHAPING CREAM LIPSTICK

Summer is also the season of kisses and lipstick is an incredible seductive asset. KissKiss is more than a simple lipstick. It is also a shaping cream that embraces the curves of the lips. Generous and delicate, KissKiss plumps and redefines the lips, becoming increasingly creamy with each application. Its fruity and slightly vanilla flavour invites sharing and kisses. This summer, KissKiss offers two new shades in the same intense chic black tube: a vibrant coral and an elegant mahogany – but why choose?

KissKiss Sexy Coral and KissKiss West Wood.

Mon Guerlain The New Floral Eau De Parfum

EXPLORATION OF A NEW FACET OF FEMININITY

Embodied by Angelina Jolie, a mother, a woman, free, generous, committed, Mon Guerlain is a tribute to today’s feminity

Femininity…

One of the most precious and mysterious words in the English language.

Subtle, elusive and desirable, femininity fascinates, stirs and shakes up. It is said to be fragile, yet in reality it is an incredible force because it is a source of life, the origin.

Women have many different sides. A multi-faceted femininity, proud and emancipated, yet gentle and determined in equal measure, never giving up and believing in its dreams. At least one perfume was needed to tell this story.

DELICATE BLOSSOMING

A fresh and gentle interpretation inspired by a flower unfolding in the morning dew. A new facet of femininity explored by the Guerlain Perfumer.

For this composition, we wanted to focus on the floral aspect and we have fashioned it like a bouquet of white flowers, heightening the Sambac Jasmine, which is an integral part of Mon Guerlain’s identity, explains Delphine Jelk,who co-created the perfume with the master perfumer Thierry Wasser.

The sunny, luminous and generous facet of femininity is expressed through the jasmine overdose, just like my colleague Delphine, adds Thierry Wasser.

LUMINOUS JASMINE

This exceptional raw ingredient used in large amounts is a striking move by the perfumer, which particularly showcases Mon Guerlain’s lavender-vanilla accord.

This quadrilobé bottle designed by Gabriel Guerlain was created by the house of Baccarat in 1908.

It has held legendary fragrances and over the years has established itself as one of Guerlain’s iconic bottles, inspiring a host of artists and designers, who have reinterpreted it through their creations.

Streamlined, graphic and restrained, it is inspired by an alchemist’s bottle and owes its name quadrilobéto its stopper carved from a solid block to obtain a four-lobed shape.

Combining contrasts expressed by the strength of the taut lines and the sensuality of the curves, it evokes a strong, free and sensual femininity.

For 190 years, five generations of Guerlain perfumers have been an integral part of the history of perfumery. For 190 years, they have been exploring the planet in search of rare and precious raw ingredients, inventing bold new accords and creating over 1,100 fragrances…
