Le Flacon Tortue Red Edition by Baccarat by Guerlain is a fragrance for women. This is a new fragrance. Le Flacon Tortue Red Edition by Baccarat was launched in 2024. The nose behind this fragrance is Thierry Wasser. Top notes are Black Currant, Violet, Peach, Almond, Melon and Anise; middle notes are Rose, Peony, Almond Blossom, Lily-of-the-Valley, Hibiscus, Mimosa and Lilac; base notes are Sandalwood, Vanilla, Almond Tree, Benzoin and Cedar. An exceptional creation for a unique event, the myth of the legendary Flacon Tortue is reborn in an exuberant Métier d'Art edition. Handcrafted by the illustrious Maison Baccarat, this crystal masterpiece celebrates the 110th anniversary of the original creation carved by master glassmakers to mark the opening of the historic Guerlain boutique in 1914 on Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris. Two symbols meet for this double anniversary; the legendary Guerlain bottle is adorned in incandescent red, the characteristic color of Baccarat. For over a century, Guerlain and Baccarat have honored a prestigious collaboration, weaving an unbreakable bond that unites perfume and its recipient. While Guerlain has been creating exceptional fragrances since 1828, Baccarat has been an undisputed expert in the luminous art of sculpting crystal since 1764. This new collaboration, in which demanding techniques meet passion and mastery, is a testament to the virtuosity of these two Maisons and embodies French elegance. Flacon Tortue is coated in "Baccarat red," the manufacturer's legendary signature color, for the first time in history. This shade is born from the fusion of transparent crystal and 24-carat gold dust. The perfume house transforms its iconic gold into a magnetic crimson to create this exceptional and stunning piece. Glassmakers mold the molten material by hand, bringing this Metier d'Art piece to life, a true treasure of meticulous detail. Equipped with a unique savoir-faire, these artisans keep alive the techniques passed down from generation to generation for 260 years. They sculpt the bottle, engrave the 88 stylized facets, and polish it rigorously to reveal all the shine of the extravagant red crystal. The Dames de Table de Guerlain then comb the silk threads one by one with art and precision, following the ancient technique of "barbichage" and seal the neck of the bottle with a delicate wax seal. It is faceted like its bottle; the legendary Champs-Elysées perfume extract invites us on a delicate stroll along the most beautiful avenue in the world to celebrate this anniversary. In its most precious version, the radiant fragrance-like crystal begins with fruity and colorful notes of blackcurrant berries that mix with the essence of a rose softened by the mimosa flower in its heart. The tenderness of almond wood notes majestically surround the fragrance. Available in 32 numbered flacons as a limited edition
