L’ART & LA MATIERE: CRAFTING RAW MATERIALS INTO ART

Crowning jewel of Guerlain Haute Parfumerie, l’Art & la Matière echoes this irrepressible love of beauty.

The seventeen creations form a collection of olfactory masterpieces envisioned and crafted with savoir-faire, rigor, and Passion. Conceived by art, sculpted with the finest ingredients used in perfumery, and exalted by artistic passion and talent, the fragrance trail becomes more than a signature. It is transformed into an art form.

Each fragrance in the L’Art & La Matière collection is born of its own spark of inspiration. A gripping aesthetic thrill. An artistic emotion that leaves an indelible mark on the Perfumer’s memory. Gender, era and origin are all little importance; the key is exhilaration. Sight, sound, touch, and smell; all of the senses echo and transcend each other. Like a painter seated before their blank canvas, a writer piecing together their words or a composer arranging together notes on a score, the House of Guerlain Perfumer elevates fragrance to the rank of art. In a collection rich with emotions, fiery florals are steeped in passion, explosively fresh fragrances become even more vibrant, robust woody scents possess an altogether spellbinding power and incredibly coveted orientals are made more captivating than ever.

L'ART DE VIVRE: HOME COLLECTION

The quintessence of Parisian art of living: olfactory escapes from the comfort of the home. Guerlain Haute Parfumerie celebrates the art of fragrance in its fullest sense, honouring scents as they exist in everyday life, right through to the emotion of a trail that permeates the air and nourishes the soul of a place. Standing as perfect complements to the Eaux de Parfum of the L’Art & La Matière collection, these signatures are brought to life by candle flame or diffuser. Just as travels have shaped the lives of the Guerlain’s, who remain on a perpetual quest for raw materials, each scent is the reflection of a new getaway, picked from the olfactory memory of the Perfumer.
