Updated 1 November 2026: SUQQU's Japanese store lists the 2026 Holiday Collection, and availability in the UK, US and Europe is not yet confirmed. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

Imagine Guerlain 2026 is Guerlain's limited Holiday Bee Bottle of Imagine Guerlain Eau de Parfum, dressed in a beaded cuff by Kévin Germanier. The set includes a 125 ml numbered bottle, a 30 ml travel spray and a funnel, limited to 2,551 pieces. ScentAdvice reported it on sale by 15 October 2026 at $980 (US), £800 (UK) and €890 (Europe).

The makeup side of the same partnership is covered in our post on the Guerlain Holiday 2026 Fireworks Collection by Kévin Germanier.

Updated 16 October 2026: listed on Guerlain's US, UK and Austrian sites. Guerlain's site blocked our stock check, and because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

When Did the Guerlain Imagine 2026 Bee Bottle Launch?

Guerlain hasn't announced an official release date. Augustman Singapore covered the Holiday 2026 Germanier line on 5 October 2026. ScentAdvice then reported the perfume on sale in the US, UK and most of the EU on 15 October 2026. Guerlain lists it as its Christmas/Holiday 2026 Exceptional Rendezvous.

Price

• US: $980
• UK: £800
• Europe: €890

ScentAdvice reported these prices on 15 October 2026. We could not load guerlain.com to confirm them.

What's Inside

The set has three items:

• 1 x 125 ml Imagine Guerlain Eau de Parfum in the jet-black Bee Bottle with its beaded cuff
• 1 x 30 ml prefilled, refillable travel spray
• 1 x funnel

That is 155 ml of perfume in total (125 ml + 30 ml).

Where to Buy

• US: Guerlain US ($980)
• UK: Guerlain UK (£800)
• Europe: Guerlain Austria (€890, per ScentAdvice), plus Guerlain boutiques
• Other markets: availability varies by region, and more international stockists may be added.

According to Olfastory, Guerlain is currently selling it through its website and boutiques.

Checked 16 October 2026: listed on Guerlain's US, UK and Austrian sites. Guerlain's site blocked our stock check.

What Makes the Imagine Guerlain 2026 Bee Bottle Different?

• Wearable decoration: the hand-embroidered cuff detaches from the bottle and can be worn on the wrist.
• Couture source: Olfastory reports that the cuff is inspired by a gown from Germanier's Spring-Summer 2025 haute couture collection.
• A first return invitation: Augustman reports that Germanier is the first artist Guerlain has invited back twice. He dressed 11 one-litre La Cuvée Secrète flacons with upcycled Swarovski crystals in 2021. In 2023 he decorated a Bernardaud porcelain jar of Orchidée Impériale Black.

Imagine Guerlain 2026 Fragrance Notes

Guerlain hasn't published a full top, heart and base pyramid. The brand names these notes:

• Top: floral notes, orange
• Heart: not detailed by Guerlain
• Base: woody notes

Guerlain names no perfumer for this eau de parfum version. Olfastory notes that Baccarat presents Imagine Guerlain as an extrait created by Thierry Wasser for The Black Bee. It is a different fragrance from Guerlain's 2019 perfume Imagine, which is built on rhubarb, rose and black tea. ScentAdvice believes the formula is likely unchanged since the 2022 edition.

What Does Imagine Guerlain 2026 Smell Like?

It opens on florals with orange and settles on a woody base. Augustman describes it as opening "with majestic florals and a hint of citrus orange in the top notes before settling into vibrant woods."

Both editions dress Imagine Guerlain in the Bee Bottle for Christmas, and earlier editions were decorated by Begüm Khan. The 2026 edition changes the decoration from a sculpted moon to a wearable embroidered cuff.

Bottle and Packaging

• Bee Bottle: The bottle dates from 1853, when it was made for the Eau de Cologne Impériale for Empress Eugénie. The glassmaker Pochet du Courval produces it with 69 bees in relief. This edition is lacquered in jet black.
• Cuff: Olfastory reports that the cuff is hand-embroidered with black, pink, red and blue beads. The "Dames de Table" of the Guerlain ateliers tie its cord by hand. Germanier says he adorned the bottle as he would a hand-embroidered haute couture gown.

The rest of Germanier's Holiday 2026 line includes a beaded Rouge G collector's case limited to 672 pieces and a Météorites jewel case limited to 432. It also includes the Guerlain Advent Calendar 2026. Another limited holiday piece this season is the Dior La Malle des Rêves Exceptional Advent Calendar 2026. You can browse all fragrance releases.

Dior DiOriginals is a collection of 13 restored Dior fragrances from 1949 to 2003, sold as 100ml eaux de toilette for $142–$155 (US) and £110–£130 (UK). It went on sale on 1 October 2026, and all 13 scents are listed on dior.com in the US and UK. The project is led by Dior's Perfume Creation Director Francis Kurkdjian and took four years.

Updated 17 October 2026: Dior's US and UK sites now list prices for all 13 DiOriginals scents.

The Concept: Reconstruction, Not Reproduction

According to Dior, Kurkdjian has not simply reissued the most recent reformulated versions of these perfumes. Instead, he spent four years reconstructing each scent from Dior's archives, working to bring them as close as possible to their original olfactory character and formula, with a contemporary refinement.

Kurkdjian said he used "new technologies that made it possible to recover their original formulas and restore the perfect harmony of their compositions." The collection also revives the iconic ovale perfume bottle, first created in 1949, with a modern twist that ties the range together visually.

The In-Store Line-Up

According to Dior, six of the 13 scents are sold more widely, including in boutiques:

• Diorissimo (1956) — a floral built around jasmine and lily of the valley, reworked with a new texture.
• Forever and Ever Dior (2002) — a musky floral reminiscent of springtime blooms.
• Dune (1991) — a light amber floral citrus.
• Dune pour Homme (1997) — a citrus green woody scent with mandarin and green figs.
• Higher (2001) — a fresh aromatic woody blend of rosemary, cardamom and cedar over lemon and basil.
• Higher Energy (2003) — a fresh spicy woody fragrance featuring grapefruit and absantiss accords.

The Online-Exclusive Seven

Dior said the remaining seven fragrances would be online exclusives, though distribution may vary by country. These are deep archival scents that haven't been widely available for decades:

• Diorama (1949)
• Eau Fraiche (1955)
• Diorling (1963)
• Dioressence (1969)
• Diorella (1972)
• Jules (1980)
• Dolce Vita (1994)

What the Brand Says

Kurkdjian has grouped the restorations into two periods. The first, "Dior in Grasse", honours the work of Edmond Roudnitska and Paul Vacher, and includes Diorama, Eau Fraîche, Diorissimo and Diorling. The second, "Dior in Paris", covers scents from 1979 to 2003, including Dioressence, Jules, Dune, Dolce Vita and the Higher range.

"A perfume should be cherished and looked after like a fragile work of art that is subject to the vagaries of time," Kurkdjian said. "In the same way that luster and colour are restored to a painting, so must the quality, shine and nuance of raw materials be upheld in a fragrance."

On Eau Fraîche, Kurkdjian said he worked to "elevate all the qualities of the citrus fruits (bergamot, lemon, mandarin, orange)" and re-blended its signature aromatic basil-tarragon note, which had been under threat owing to regulations. For Diorissimo, he restored the "white lily of the valley" floral accord using a new quality of jasmine. For Jules, the new version includes readjustments to its spice notes and mosses.

Price

Every DiOriginals scent is a 100ml eau de toilette. Dior's prices:

• $155 (US) / £130 (UK): Diorissimo, Dune, Dolce Vita, Forever and Ever, Eau Fraîche, Diorella, Dioressence, Diorama, Diorling
• $142 (US) / £110 (UK): Dune pour Homme, Higher, Higher Energy, Jules

Where to Buy

• US: Dior ($142–$155)
• UK: Dior UK (£110–£130)
• International: Dior boutiques; Dior says distribution of the online exclusives may vary by country

Checked 17 October 2026: all 13 scents listed with prices on dior.com (US and UK).
