L'Heure Bleue By Guerlain

Guerlain L'Heure Bleue is one of Guerlain's most famous and coveted perfumes.

Created in 1912 Guerlain L'Heure Bleue is a rich floral oriental scent that is dark and moving. Guerlain L'Heure Bleue perfume was created one summer evening, by Guerlain's then master perfumer Jacques Guerlain. It was inspired by the feeling of intense turmoil that he experienced one summer night in Paris, staring at the sky.

L'Heure Bleue perfume is the olfactory representation of this suspended hour, when the sky has lost its sun but not yet found its stars and everything in nature was clothed in a passionate and piercing dark blue light; a romantic atmosphere that seemed to be hanging onto a dream by a thread.

To represent this passionate emotion Jacques Guerlain created a delicate, powdery floral oriental perfume. Guerlain L'Heure Bleue perfume begins with a seductive and lingering neroli top note, over a fresh, elegant and exquistie collection of violet, jasmine, rose, orange blossom, tuberose and carnation and rich melancholic iris at its heart and a fragrant, tranquil and serene base of vanilla and musk. Guerlain L'Heure Bleue perfume is intimate, emotional, and utterly refined, like a beautiful armful of sweet, delicate flowers enveloped in a powdery, seductive cloak.

For this seductive and beautiful scent Jacques Guerlain wanted an equally beautiful and sensuous bottle. Designed by Raymond Guerlain, the L'Heure Bleue bottle has a distinctive shape. The curved shoulders on the bottle reflect the influence of Art Nouveau. The hollow heart-shaped cap translates the pre-war romantic era and the bottle is, in itself, an iconic timepiece.

Later in 1919 Jacques Guerlain returned to the beauty of the bottle for Mitsouko, as a visual representation in his perfume creations of the darkness and light of begnning and end of the First World War.
