The Bee Bottle by Guerlain was first created back in 1835 and for the special edition, it boasts a new and colorful look inspired by Henri Matisse's la Musique painting from 1939. The painting features two women seated -- one of which is strumming a guitar as the two sit in the shade of a large philodendron that is behind them. Each flacon is hand-painted by decorative painter Astrid de Chaillé.
