GUERLAIN: AN IMPERIAL ICON - NEW ASSOULINE PICTORIAL

Description: Please note that at this time, the post office is VERY VERY slow and if you need this by a specific time, you'll need to select Priority Mail or it may take a couple weeks or longer to get there. I know it's more expensive, but it's the only way to insure a quick delivery... NO RISK PURCHASE! See Below** GUERLAIN by Guerlain “Glory is ephemeral, only reputation endures.” —Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain AUTHORIZED ASSOULINE RESELLER! - I am a legitimate authorized ASSOULINE Bookseller. All my Assouline books (with rare exceptions and noted if not) are purchased directly from Assouline as opposed to buying them in a bookstore and then reselling them. These are brand new, direct FROM Assouline and packaged as they came from them! Special orders welcomed! Celebrating the 170th anniversary of the Flacon Abeilles, Guerlain: An Imperial Icon shines a light on a tale of passion, savoir faire, virtuoso skills and creative imagination. The legendary “Bee Bottle,” inspired by the Place Vendôme column, was originally designed by Guerlain for its Eau de Cologne Impériale, created for the Empress Eugénie in 1853. Combining luxury beauty and artisanship of the highest caliber, technology with hand finishes, the Flacon Abeilles embodies the enlightened values of tradition and excellence. The symbol of outstanding craftsmanship, the bottle’s countless bees reflect the unique personality of a perfume and cosmetics house that plays with the codes of its times, and that remains faithful to its own history by continually reinventing it. Glowing with all the richness of the Second Empire, the Flacon Abeilles reflects the opulence of an age embodied in a precious perfume bottle, and continues to inspire today, through Guerlain’s many creative collaborations. Brimming with brilliant historical and contemporary imagery and showcasing unique works created by artists and artisans for Guerlain, and featuring illuminating text by French journalist Laurence Benaïm, this Assouline Classics Collection volume highlights Guerlain’s heritage of exceptional artisanship and artistry in addition to its contemporary mission of creativity with sustainability. About Guerlain: A visionary in its holistic concept of beauty since its founding in Paris in 1828, the Maison Guerlain has stood out for its creative daring and innovation in fragrance, make-up and skincare. All with Nature and Art as inspiration and the Culture of Beauty as a signature. In 1994, Guerlain joined the LVMH Fragrances & Cosmetics Division and strengthened its presence internationally. As the crowning jewel of luxury à la française and and holder of unique savoir-faire, the Maison Guerlain has been producing its creations in France ever since its inception and currently boasts two production sites: Orphin for Fragrance and Chartres for Cosmetics. The bee—as the emblem of the Maison at the heart of its commitment—is the focus of several partnerships and initiatives dedicated to its protection, all falling within the “Guerlain for Bees Conservation Programme”. Silk hardcover with 292 pages and 215 illustrations, this English language edition was just released in May 2023. It measures 13x9.5x1.5 in and weighs a whopping 6lbs upacked!

USE THE ADD TO CART option and when you check out, you'll save money by paying for them both at the same time and combine the shipping! For over a decade, I have sold tens of thousands of items on eBay and have only received a handful of complaints about the accuracy in my descriptions. Having met eBay standards for excellence in trading, you may bid with confidence knowing you will get what you THINK you are bidding on! Please check my feedback. It is a record I am very proud of... I have LOTS of music items, and tons of books available for purchase. Please check my other offerings to see if there is anything else you might be interested in for combined shipping. There are links above and below and why not bookmark my site to make it easier to find at a later date! PAYMENT TERMS: Pretty simple. Pay me, I send it, BUT ONLY TO A REGISTERED ADDRESS! Please do not ask to have it sent to an alternate location as I won't be able to comply per eBay policy. See below.. Why Are My Shipping & Handling Costs a Bit Higher than Other Sellers? Please Read on... GUARANTEED DELIVERY OR YOUR MONEY BACK! I really DO CARE about when and how your product gets to you. Because the post office is so incredibly inept, I ONLY SHIP domestic packages INSURED, which is AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED in the shipping cost, and that is not free as the post office charges for it. If your parcel gets lost OR damaged in freight, your item will be replaced if one is available OR you will be completely refunded! IMPORTANT MONEY SAVING TIP! If you are buying more than one of my items and would like to SAVE MONEY by COMBINING SHIPPING costs, I will be happy to do so, but eBay has now made it more difficult to get discounts by confusing people with "Buy it Now" and "Add to Cart" options on non-auction style pages. If you are buying one item from a seller use the Buy it Now. BUT IF YOU WANT COMBINED or FREE SHIPPING, DO NOT USE THE BUY IT NOW button! Instead, select ADD TO CART. Then use your BACK button on your browser and select the other items you want that qualify using ADD TO CART each time. When you are finished, look for the shopping cart icon at the top right corner of your eBay page and click on it. Find the blue button which reads COMMIT TO BUY & SEND REQUEST. Once done, the items will be held and I will create a single invoice with either combined or free shipping. NOTE: I cannot retroactively go back and combine items that are not purchased in this manner so PLEASE PAY ATTENTION. Once you receive your invoice, payment is expected promptly! All of the payment info you need will be listed including multiple shipment options. Some states will require sales tax to be collected. Ebay will collect such as required. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS! PAYMENT OPTIONS:I accept Credit Cards, eChecks and electronic transfers with .Unfortunately, direct bank transfers are not offered due to cost and security concerns.As I reside in the USA, all payments must be made in US Dollars & Cents. SHIPPING ADDRESSES: IMPORTANT!! I can ONLY SHIP to the address as noted in PAYPAL'S "TRANSACTION DETAILS". If you want it shipped to an alternate location, you will need to register that address BEFORE paying or it will be shipped to the registered address. SHIPPING COSTS: Shipping costs will be determined by weight & destination! You may click on the SHIPPING & PAYMENT tab found at the top of the page, just under the item's picture for all shipping options to all destinations both domestic and international. There you will find drop down boxes for your location and you can then use the shipping calculator to determine the correct cost for where you live. REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES: Media Mail (once known as 4th class mail) is a special class of postage for books, music, videos and other printed media available within the US and territories. It is far less expensive than Priority Mail, but - it ..... is ........... slooowwwww!!!! Despite USPS claims of 3-9 day delivery times, MEDIA MAIL CAN actually TAKE UP TO 3 WEEKS to arrive, and their tracking info is frequently not updated until it actually arrives, making that feature pretty useless! PLEASE remember this when you leave feedback scores as the choice is yours and not my fault if it takes a long time to get there! If you want it in a week or less, you are going to have to bite the bullet and pay for Priority Mail which will get it there in 2-3 working days, 99% of the time, but it is more expensive. Basically, the choice is yours, but if you choose media mail, please don't write to me in 5 days asking where your package is, because the post office will have it and most of the time, they don't have a clue! International deliveries usually arrive within 1-2 weeks but CAN take up to a month! Faster shipping is available on request, but expensive.Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. You can check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. Finally, we do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts"; it is illegal and immoral. Questions? Ask and I'll try to answer...
