Reimagined on a monumental scale, the Waltersperger creation retained all the delicate proportions and signature curves of the original bottle first conceived by Raymond Guerlain in 1912 for L’Heure Bleue. The heart-shaped stopper, emblematic of romance and sophistication, was meticulously reproduced in glass, while the bottle’s voluptuous shoulders and graceful contours shimmered with light, celebrating the harmony of transparency and reflection.
The giant factice served as the centerpiece of Guerlain’s boutique windows and event displays, embodying the spirit of La Petite Robe Noire—the “little black dress” of fragrance. Just as a perfectly cut dress transforms its wearer with effortless chic, the perfume was conceived as a modern classic, combining playful charm with timeless style. Waltersperger’s artistry captured that essence, transforming glass into a sculptural icon of Parisian glamour—youthful, coquettish, and irresistibly elegant.
Standing as a symbol of Guerlain’s heritage and creative continuity, the Waltersperger Bouchon Cœur factice not only celebrated the debut of La Petite Robe Noire but also paid homage to a century of craftsmanship and the enduring love affair between Guerlain and the art of French glassmaking.
