Swiss Designer Kevin Germanier created a beautifully designed Guerlain fragrance bottle that marries luxury and sustainability. The limited-edition bottle is bejeweled with discarded Swarovski crystals and embroidery details, and the handcrafted bottles were created based on a couture-inspired technique that has never before been applied to a perfume bottle.
Each one of the bottles takes three hours to produce and it's a laborious process of coating the cleaned bottles with recycled crystals in colorful tones. The Bee Bottle is designed to hold La Cuvée Secrète, an eau de cologne with notes of bergamot, petitgrain and lavender, and just 11 of them are available. These luxurious Guerlain bottles represent the future of fragrance, style and sustainability.
