Guerlain has collaborated with Lebanese jewellery designer Nadine Kanso, who brings the iconic Bee Bottle into her sumptuously poetic world born out of her avowed passion for Arab culture.
Born in Beirut and based in Dubai, Nadine Kanso started her own jewellery line in 2006, “Bil Arabi“. Drawing inspiration from the Arabic alphabet, she created meaningful pieces in a resolutely contemporary, glitzy style with a touch of Middle Eastern flair.
She has designed a new bejewelled ornament as a genuine declaration of love to adorn the Bee Bottle. The word “Love” is etched in calligraphy all around the bottle, then embellished to become a radiantly resounding call to love. This dreamlike creation is gilded with 24-karat fine gold and studded with 1,710 SWAROVSKI crystals, calling upon the most outstanding expertise in jewellery-making. The pieces require twelve hours of meticulous craftsmanship at a French studio, which imparts each one with its unique character.
Réve d’Amour, the exclusive fragrance accompanying the bottle, echoes the creative intention behind the piece. This Eau de Parfum opens with a fresh, vibrant blend of mandarin and petitgrain before revealing a delicately luminous bouquet of white flowers at its heart, all over a sensual base of woody cedar, ambrette and benzoin notes.
The Bee Bottle by Nadine Kanso has 30 unique pieces available worldwide.
