For the 2015 Holiday season, Guerlain issued a new limited edition luxury perfume bottle called the “Flacon Tortue Parfum Exceptional Edition.” The perfume comes in the turtle-shaped bottle created by the famous French crystal factory Baccarat. Original turtle-shaped bottle is created by Jacques Guerlain in 1913 in honour of the opening of his “new temple of Beauty” at 68, avenue des Champs-Elysées in Paris. Now, more than a century later, Guerlain is partnering with Baccarat to produce a new limited crystal edition of this iconic bottle in a 60 ml format. With more than 80 facets carved into the crystal, the turtle-shaped bottle is entirely handmade with painstaking attention to detail.
9,500 Guerlain Limited Edition Flacon Tortue
Housed inside the bottle is a reincarnation of Parfum du 68 from 2013, or rather its intense version, Extrait du 68. This Exceptional Creation contains a woody spicy floral Extrait created by Thierry Wasser. Everlasting flower is at the centre of the warm, spicy base note, while osmanthus lends the fragrance a fruity heart note that is energized by a refreshing mandarin top note. Tonka bean, benzoin and vanilla give the scent a sweet and sensuous fragrant trail.
Flacon Tortue Parfum Exceptional Edition is limited to only 47 bottles (60ml), each priced at €9,500 (about $10,130).
