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.

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 “quadrilobé” to 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…
