Here are some details about L'Heure Bleue and its collectible miniature bottle:
Fragrance Profile:
- Top Notes: Aniseed, Bergamot
- Heart Notes: Violet, Neroli, Rose, Heliotrope, Carnation
- Base Notes: Iris, Vanilla, Benzoin, Tonka Bean
L'Heure Bleue is known for its powdery, floral-oriental composition. It's a romantic, melancholic fragrance that embodies the poetic moment just before dusk, “the blue hour.” The scent opens with a slightly spicy, sweet touch of aniseed and bergamot, developing into a rich floral heart, and settling into a creamy, powdery base dominated by iris and vanilla.
Miniature Bottle Collectibility:
- Size: The 1 ml micro mini bottles are extremely small and often used for sampling or as part of a collectible set.
- Vintage Appeal: Vintage miniatures like this, especially from Guerlain, are highly sought after by collectors. The condition of the bottle (whether the liquid inside is intact or has evaporated, and the condition of the label or stopper) will affect its value.
- Design: Even though small, these bottles are often meticulously crafted to resemble the larger full-size bottles, with the same attention to detail in the design of the bottle, stopper, and label.
