The intersection of French heritage and Korean modernity has found its most radiant expression in the continued partnership between Guerlain and global ambassador Song Hye Kyo. This collaboration centers on a timeless Parisian emblem that has traveled through generations, carried by the hands of artisans for nearly 200 years. For this latest chapter, the celebrated actress lends her precise artistry and subtle presence to a creation built on detail and deep emotion.

At the heart of this celebration is the legendary Bee Bottle, a vessel originally imagined in 1853 for Empress Eugénie. Its golden geometry, inspired by the column of Place Vendôme, features a festoon pattern and sixty-nine hand-applied bees that symbolize the French Empire. In the hands of Song Hye Kyo, this imperial icon feels entirely contemporary, bridging the gap between a royal past and a modern aesthetic.

The actress has chosen to treasure the Angélique Noire fragrance from the L'Art & La Matière collection within her own customized bottle. This choice reflects the Maison’s bespoke tradition, where every bottle is adorned one by one. Each piece can be engraved, personalized with a colored cord, or finished with a Guerlain seal, transforming a historic signature into a unique, made-to-measure treasure.

Song Hye Kyo describes the vessel as a creation shaped by light, patience, and craft that feels truly alive. Her nuanced emotional expression finds a natural echo in the manual savoir-faire of the Pochet du Courval glassworks, where bees and festoons are hand-painted with 24-carat gold. This shared language of care and precision illuminates a symbol of beauty with meaning that continues to inspire across cultures.
