La Petite Robe Noire - Exceptional Flacon 2014

La Petite Robe Noire – Exceptional Limited Edition Collector’s Bottle, Christmas 2014 is a true masterpiece of luxury and artistry, transforming Guerlain’s iconic Little Black Dress fragrance into an objet d’art. This monumental 250 ml black Baccarat crystal bottle commands attention with its bold presence, the deep obsidian hue of the crystal reflecting light with an almost hypnotic depth. The familiar curvaceous silhouette of La Petite Robe Noire is magnified to a monumental scale, yet retains the elegance and playfulness that have made this fragrance a modern classic.

The bottle is exquisitely adorned with Macon Lesquoy embroidered flower ornamentation, where delicate threads trace intricate floral motifs across the crystal surface, creating a tactile and visual interplay between light, shadow, and texture. Each embroidery detail enhances the bottle’s sophistication, making it not only a container but a statement piece worthy of display in any collector’s cabinet or luxury setting. The ornamentation evokes the refinement of couture embroidery, linking the artistry of haute parfumerie with that of fashion design, and providing a fitting visual metaphor for the elegance and allure of the perfume within.

Despite its spectacular presentation, the fragrance itself remains unchanged—a testament to the enduring brilliance of the original Little Black Dress extract. The scent, an intoxicating and sophisticated blend of cherry, almond, berries, and dark floral notes, radiates from the immense crystal vessel as if magnified by the monumental scale of the bottle, ensuring that the perfume’s charm and femininity are undiminished.

Retailing at €12,000, this edition was conceived as both a holiday celebration and a collector’s dream. It embodies a luxurious synthesis of perfume, crystal craftsmanship, and fine embroidery, creating a piece that is as much a work of art as it is a container for one of Guerlain’s most beloved fragrances. Every aspect—from the monumental Baccarat crystal to the embroidered flowers—exudes refinement, exclusivity, and the playful elegance that defines La Petite Robe Noire.
