L’Art & la Matière – Fragrance as a way of life

L’Art & la Matière is a collection of olfactory masterpieces, crafted for those who seek beauty in its purest form — each fragrance shaped by the hand and soul of Guerlain’s perfumers.
Born from moments of artistic emotion, these creations linger like memories etched in time.

At the Guerlain Spa of the Beau-Rivage Palace, choose your fragrance from the L’Art & la Matière collection and personalise every detail of its bottle — from the engraved plate crowning the cap, to the colour of the cord and wax seal embracing its neck, down to a name, initials or message etched with care.
