Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Honey Rose – A Rose Woven with Nectar

A New Chapter in the Story of La Petite Robe Noire

This composition highlights the honeyed facets naturally present in rose, embroidered with a gourmand glow that evokes warmth, light, and radiance. Created under the direction of Delphine Jelk, Creative Director and Perfumer of Guerlain, Honey Rose redefines the heart of the collection with an infusion that is luminous, textured, and delicately sweet.

The Olfactory Tapestry of Rose and Honey

At the core of La Petite Robe Noire Honey Rose lies a radiant synergy: Centifolia rose absolute cultivated at Le Mas des Sources in Grasse, and a unique floral honey extract with rosy inflections, produced from the Maison’s own hives. This duet creates a composition where petals and nectar unfold in unity, enveloping the senses in floral richness and natural sweetness.

The bouquet expands into a generous arrangement of roses, embroidered with golden threads of honey. This extract, developed through a patented transformation process, delivers remarkable depth, bringing softness and roundness while preserving the authenticity of both ingredients. The result is an Eau de Parfum glowing with gourmand delicacy and floral refinement.

The Iconic “Inverted Heart” Bottle in Golden Glow

First created in 1912, the inverted heart bottle remains one of the most recognizable symbols of Guerlain. For Honey Rose, the flacon takes on a new expression, filled with a luminous liquid shaded between orange and gold. This hue evokes honey itself – rich, warm, and mouthwatering – offering a visual echo of the fragrance within.

The delicate silhouette of the bottle carries the timeless identity of La Petite Robe Noire while embracing a new color facet in the line’s history. It is both a continuation of tradition and an expression of reinvention.

Bees, Roses, and Living Beauty

The union of rose and honey is not only an olfactory idea but also a commitment to nature. At Le Mas des Sources in Grasse, Guerlain cultivates Centifolia roses with respect for sustainable agriculture. On the same land, the Maison has installed beehives that produce an exceptional floral honey, later transformed into a perfumery ingredient with rare qualities.

This initiative is part of Guerlain’s mission of “Acting for Living Beauty”, a long-term program launched in 2007 to protect biodiversity, fight climate change, and create positive social impact. Bees, essential to ecosystems, stand at the heart of this mission, and their presence in Honey Rose is both symbolic and tangible.

Sustainability and Craft

The commitment extends beyond ingredients. La Petite Robe Noire Honey Rose is crafted with French beetroot alcohol sourced from sustainable agriculture, reinforcing Guerlain’s pledge to eco-conscious perfumery. Its iconic bottle now integrates at least 15% recycled materials, demonstrating how luxury coexists with responsibility.

These measures reflect a broader transformation across the Maison – a dedication to innovation, sustainability, and artistry united in every creation.

Honey Rose – Guerlain’s Radiant Embrace

Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Honey Rose Eau de Parfum is a fragrance where rose glows in golden light, embroidered with nectar, and carried in the iconic inverted heart bottle. It is a perfume that speaks of nature, craftsmanship, and identity, honoring Guerlain’s dual devotion to beauty and sustainability.

Through this edition, La Petite Robe Noire evolves once again, carrying with it the eternal dialogue between flowers and bees, petals and honey – a luminous expression of Guerlain’s artistry and its living bond with the natural world.
