Guerlain unveils Bee Bottle by by designer Begüm Khan 

Guerlain has unveiled a new limited edition of its iconic Bee Bottle revisited by designer Begüm Khan to celebrate the Guerlinade.

This Exceptional Piece embodies the vitality of a living heritage, bringing history and creation into dialogue to offer a tangible continuing expression of the perfume.  

Born in Istanbul, Begüm Khan grew up surrounded by antique objects and ornaments. The handcrafted creations from her atelier transpose a refined world where nature, craft and symbols come together, blending old and new. Since 2021 she has worked with the Maison to transport Guerlain icons into her dreamlike floral world, blending savoir-faire and shared values. 

In 2026, the designer has created a new Exceptional Piece, transforming the Bee Bottle into an imaginary Garden. This exquisite creation has been fashioned by Pochet du Courval, Guerlain’s glassmaker since 1853. Gold, bronze, set gems and sculpture are all interlaced on the bottle as the iconic silhouette becomes the stage for luxuriant decoration. Botanical and animal motifs and a myriad of gem-set flowers – jasmine, rose, bergamot and vanilla blossom – evoke the ingredients in the Guerlinade, blossoming alongside frogs and bees.  Crafted entirely by hand in Begüm Khan’s Istanbul workshops, this precious garden – which requires ten days of work – springs to life in the radiance of some 8,353 gemstones. Amidst this conversation of meticulously precise gestures, each minute detail interplays with the others.    

Echoing the jewelry composition, Vanille Planifolia Extrait 21 pays homage to the Guerlinade. This perfume extract reveals the raw ingredient in one of its most intense expressions, elevated by an extremeconcentration and exceptional precision.
