More than a bottle, it's a masterstroke: Guerlain is collaborating with Maison Matisse, which for several years has shared the audacious values of this universal artist and is inspired by his artistic heritage to celebrate the art of happiness in an edition of art numbered with fourteen unique pieces. An ode to three arts intimately linked by their languages, their rhythms, and their colors: painting, music, perfume. And the meeting of two myths: "La Musique," one of Henri Matisse's most emblematic paintings, was produced in 1939. And the mythical Flacon aux Abeilles which celebrates its 170th anniversary in 2023 and is adorned for the occasion motifs taken from this undisputed masterpiece of modern painting. For the occasion, Guerlain Perfumers imagined Couleur Bonheur, a modern fruity chypre with olfactory colors as sunny as the artist's palette. Painter of happiness in essence, a sublime master of colors, Henri Matisse is one of the greatest geniuses of 20th-century art. A violinist from his childhood, a great lover of jazz, close to the Ballets Russes, and a fine connoisseur of avant-garde composers, Henri Matisse never ceased to nourish his art of music. But even more, the artist liked to compare his work to that of the composer. To describe his practice – just as, moreover, perfumers speak of notes or chords – he used musical terms such as “vibrato”, “chord” or “orchestration”. Philodendron leaves, curves of a guitar, red and blue flat areas... Combining harmony of colors and a sense of rhythm, the Exceptional Piece inspired by the painting "La Musique" (1939) uses its emblematic motifs on a deep blue background. . A perfect harmony of shapes and colors, six vibrant tones directly taken from Henri Matisse's palette that inspired the unique creation of the room decor for Maison Guerlain. Music meets two other sources of inspiration dear to the great painter. The feminine beauty: that of the guitarist and the singer, all in generous curves whose complementary poses balance each other harmoniously. And nature is present thanks to the stylized philodendron leaves that punctuate the background of the composition. “THE PAINTER CHOOSES HIS COLOR IN THE INTENSITY AND DEPTH WHICH SUITS HIM LIKE A MUSICIAN CHOOSES THE TIMBRE AND INTENSITY OF HIS INSTRUMENTS. » HENRI MATISSE Entirely hand-painted with the utmost care, each piece is the result of exceptional craftsmanship. Nothing was left to chance in this high-precision exercise. Countless hours were spent selecting the six colors that corresponded as closely as possible to the palette of the "The Music" painting, then fine-tuning their dullness their depth. All designs are brush painted, with the utmost attention to detail on each bottle. Guerlain Perfumers have imagined Couleur Bonheur, a modern fruity chypre with olfactory colors as sunny as the artist's palette. A precious perfume extracts exclusive to this bottle, like an olfactory melody flooded with light, this southern sun makes the colors of "La Musique" vibrate in a colorful score. The first movement, allegro vivace: is the yellow of bergamot with a crystalline timbre. The second movement, allegro espressivo: the orange of the apricot accord with its velvety tone mingles with the radiance of the rose. The third movement, allegro andante: the deep violet of the iris, plays on the contrast with the white of a leather accord.
