Guerlain introduces a new lifestyle line that carries its signature Guerlinade accord into the home. For over a century, this iconic blend has defined the maison. Now, it anchors L’Art & La Matière: The New Art of Living, expressed through a collection of candles and soaps in six transportive scents.
At the heart of the launch sit the candles. They are not only elegant yet playful, but are also entirely customisable. Refillable and designed for mixing and matching, much like Rouge G lipsticks, they invite personal expression. Each candle uses high-quality beeswax, ensuring a soft, warm diffusion that amplifies every note.
Firstly, Vanille Planifolia layers vanilla pod with woody, smoky nuances. Together, they evoke the cocooning warmth of Maison Guerlain’s wood-panelled lounge. Meanwhile, Bergamote Fantastico balances sparkling citrus with an ambery trail, conjuring a sunlit escape to southern Italy. The powdery elegance of Iris Pallida follows, softened by almond and musk for a lingering reverie.
Then comes Rose Centifolia, fruity and honeyed, wrapped in frankincense and patchouli. It recalls a morning stroll through blooming rose fields. Jasmin Grandiflorum pairs radiant florals with candied apricot and strawberry, transporting you to a lush garden walk. Finally, Tonka Sarrapia blends addictive tonka bean with bitter almond, echoing the cosy hum of a Left Bank café.
Design receives equal attention, of course. Two-tone jars combine a brushed gold finish with colours and motifs inspired by Guerlinade’s raw materials. The maison’s emblematic bee appears, alongside references to the heritage square bottle. To customise your candle, simply select your jar and scent, then let the engraving service add a personal touch.
Priced at SGD116 for the jar on its own, the candles from L’Art & La Matière: The New Art of Living collection are sold separately at SGD136 each. To launch at Guerlain boutiques islandwide from 1 March 2026, the olfactory ritual continues with precious soaps at SGD80 each. Faceted in the collection’s signature octagonal shape and enriched with shea butter, they deliver a delicately creamy, scented lather.
