The latest limited edition release from Guerlain, Aqua Allegoria Perle, It illustrates the evolution of perfume formulas and the contribution of Aptar BeautyThis is the first fragrance from the Maison to incorporate perfume micro-pearl technology.
Aptar Beauty partnered with MicrocapsGuerlain, a Swiss startup specializing in the microencapsulation of perfumes, has worked to optimize the hybrid formula and achieve optimal dispensing. The perfume is encapsulated within microspheres and diffused in an alcohol-free, water-based base enriched with glycerin. This innovative two-phase formula melts into the skin, offering the intensity of an Eau de Parfum and the beautifying effect of a moisturizer, according to Guerlain.
“We contacted Microcaps to work on a perfect combination of encapsulated formula and dispenser prior to this project. This preliminary work helped Guerlain optimize its formula and reduce time to market,” he stated. Thomas Clemence, Scientific Material & Formulation Manager Aptar BeautyAptar Beauty's R&D teams collaborated closely with Guerlain and Microcaps to optimize the initial formulation, determining the optimal ratio between capsule density and gel viscosity.
The final solution combined the Aptar Beauty VP4 Premium Fragrance Dispenser, which offers a soft spray and gentle activation that prevents clogging, with its high definition spray (HDS) insert to achieve a fine mist with wide diffusion.
