The Guerlain bee-shaped fragrance bottle, designed by Lorenz Bäumer in 2010, has been relaunched. This year, Baccarat has re-imagined the flacon in black crystal for L’Abeille Noire Édition Prestige.

Molten crystal was blown into a metal mold to create the black shape of the bee, while its head and wings are made of pressed crystal. The bottle is first polished before being filled by hand. The finishing touch is by Guerlain’s Dames de table, who perform the barbichage or feathering technique, where silk threads are individually combed to create a fan shape.
