Guerlain releases a special edition for Muguet every year, to celebrate the arrival of Spring. Muguet was first released c1904. There was a reformulation in 1998 (which was rereleased in 1999). A new version was launched in 2006 and since then it’s been customary to release a new version annually. In 2016 Muguet was reformulated by Thierry Wasser, and this version was still used for 2026. The 2026 Millesime is created in collaboration with Ateliers Vermont. 3433 bottles were created.

‘For over 110 years, Maison Guerlain has celebrated the arrival of spring with its emblematic lucky Muguet, released each year as a limited and numbered edition. For the 2026 Millésime of this Exceptional Rendezvous, Guerlain continues the tradition by collaborating with Ateliers Vermont, a Parisian embroidery house founded in 1956. The neck of the legendary Bee Bottle is adorned with a silk taffeta bow embroidered with delicate lacebells, the center of which subtly reveals a crystal sparkle. Beneath this crisp green adornment lies a mythical fragrance, a fresh and floral composition where jasmine and rose intertwine in perfect harmony. It is to Guerlain’s Master Perfumer that we owe the remarkable feat of recreating the scent of the lily of the valley. Known as a “mute” flower, its natural essence cannot be extracted. Since 2016, Guerlain’s Muguet has been composed by Thierry Wasser, capturing with exquisite precision the fragrance of these lucky blossoms. In a burst of freshness, green, herbaceous notes meet the floral refinement of jasmine and rose, lending this emblematic trail its tender, pearly nuances of green and pink. At the heart of this bouquet emerges the olfactory illusion of a freshly picked sprig of lily of the valley. The Bee Bottle is adorned with a bow crafted from soft green silk taffeta, shaped using the Japanese Shibori technique, an ancestral art of folding and heat-setting fabric. Under the fingers of the Ateliers Vermont embroiderers, the material is pleated, tied, and set, creating shifting reflections. The fabric forms a supple geometry around the bottle’s neck, as though the silk itself wished to curl into a vegetal scroll. From this textile sculpture emerge lace lily-of-the-valley bells, delicately hand-embroidered, each revealing a crystal sparkle at its heart. To offer this exceptional fragrance the most poetic adornment, Guerlain has called upon true virtuosos of artistic embroidery. Since 1956, Ateliers Vermont has been creating exquisite embroideries in the heart of Paris for the most prestigious Haute Couture houses, preserving age-old craftsmanship. True architects of the unseen, the expert hands of these embroiderers orchestrate wonder itself: pearls, sequins, crystals, and threads come to life beneath their touch, transforming fabric into a work of art.’ – Guerlain
