THE FRAGRANCE
Guerlain L’Heure Bleue
Guerlain is reimagining its iconic L’Heure Bleue fragrance for 2026, inspired by the fleeting blue hour when day turns to night. Created by Guerlain’s director of perfume creation, Delphine Jelk, the new scent opens with a fresh ozonic accord before revealing a powdery iris and orange blossom heart, grounded by enveloping vanilla and ambroxan. The bottle is a modern take on the original 1912 inverted-heart design, finished in a gradient of blue and made to be refilled.
