‘To celebrate the Chinese New Year, Guerlain unveils the third limited and numbered edition of its Exceptional Rendezvous, paying tribute to an age-old tradition steeped in symbolism and artistry. For 2026, under the sign of the Fire Horse, the House has partnered with Parisian jeweller L’Atelier Truscelli to create a sculptural jewel adorning its iconic Bee Bottle. This precious objet d’art houses Rouge Bonheur, an exclusive Eau de Parfum, sealing a refined alliance between high jewellery and haute perfumery. Both vibrant and enveloping, the fragrance unfolds a harmonious balance of spicy freshness, floral elegance, and woody depth: sparkling pepper and ginger open the composition, giving way to a radiant heart of rose and magnolia, before settling into comforting notes of cedar and white musk—an olfactory expression of joy, luck, and renewal. An immutable Guerlain icon born in 1853 and still crafted by Pochet du Courval, the Bee Bottle is dressed for the occasion in a scarlet red robe, a color of fortune in Chinese culture. Celebrating the union of the emblematic bee with the ardent Fire Horse—symbol of momentum, audacity, and the relentless pursuit of success—the bottle is crowned with a majestic horse’s head gilded in 24-carat gold and delicately set with 78 Swarovski crystals. Conceived by Francesco Truscelli and brought to life by the ancestral savoir-faire of Gonthiez Frères, the design pairs an almond-cut crystal eye with a cascade of 77 round crystals along the mane, revealing the nobility of the materials and the precision of the jeweller’s hand. Produced in a strictly limited and numbered edition of 1,785 pieces of 125 mL, each set is accompanied by a 30 mL travel spray and a funnel, allowing Rouge Bonheur—an ode to happiness, luck, and joy—to be carried wherever life leads.’
