La Signature, the Guerlain boutique in EPCOT’s France Pavilion, is open again after a multi-month refurbishment. The shop closed on June 29 and welcomed guests back on October 14, 2026, with new flooring, new built-ins, and an updated selection of fragrances, cosmetics, and skincare.
Cast Members say their goal is to create a personalized experience for each guest who walks through the door. Below, we cover what La Signature is, how the space has changed, and what you can find on the shelves now.
What La Signature Is and Where to Find It
La Signature is the France Pavilion’s shop for French fragrances and cosmetics from Guerlain, a Paris perfume house founded in 1828. Disney also notes that makeup consultations are available inside.
The boutique sits beneath a covered walkway in the pavilion. A cream and gold GUERLAIN sign reading “Paris, 1828” hangs above the door. The window next to the entrance features blue bottles from the L’Heure Bleue collection, and a second arched window farther along gives passersby a look at the shelves inside. If you are strolling through World Showcase, it is easy to spot.
The Closure and Reopening Timeline
La Signature closed for refurbishment on June 29, 2026. The shop missed its first planned reopening date, and Disney then set October 14 as the new date. The doors opened as scheduled that morning, ending a closure of roughly three and a half months.
A New Look for the Interior
The renovation changes the feel of the shop. Before the work, the space had white cabinets, dark wood counters, glass shelving, and octagonal gold and cream floor tile. Those features are gone.
Light oak built-ins with gold scrollwork now line the walls. They frame a series of lit niches, and each niche holds a few bottles or a folded paper fan. Parquet flooring covers most of the floor. A white marble inlay with gold trim runs down the center aisle, with gold bees marking its corners.
The bee appears throughout the store. It shows up as a gold molded ornament on the wall panels and as an embossed pattern on the amber bottles that line the shelves. The bee is a long-standing Guerlain symbol, so the repeated motif ties the room closely to the brand.
Lighting has changed too. Simple lantern-style pendants used to hang from the ceiling. Crystal chandeliers have replaced them, including a long multi-tier fixture in the center of the store. Arched windows along one wall let daylight fall across the parquet, which brightens the pale wood and marble. The result feels more formal and more polished than the previous design.
A Wall Dedicated to Guerlain History
One of the new features is a stone-look wall between the arched windows that tells the story of the Guerlain name. Gold lettering carries a line credited to founder Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain and dated 1828: “Make excellent products. Never compromise on quality. Scrupulously apply simple ideas.”
Framed pieces below the quote add more background. One shows the Guerlain perfume factory in 19th-century Paris, and another shows a raw materials library. A third frame holds what appears to be a supplier’s license from Empress Eugénie, dated May 11, 1853.
A row of six portraits highlights people behind the house. Each portrait pairs with a signature bottle and year, starting with Eau de Cologne Impériale in 1855 and ending with Tobacco Honey in 2024. For guests who enjoy learning the story behind a brand, this wall is worth a few minutes.
Fragrance Displays Throughout the Shop
Cast Members say the shop carries scents and makeup ranging from entry-level to high-end, and the displays reflect that range.
A lit counter presents the L’Art & La Matière collection. Each fragrance has a name card placed in front of a tall faceted bottle. Lipstick cases in leopard, tortoiseshell, and snakeskin-style patterns sit between the bottles. A smaller display nearby pairs Musc Outreblanc and Pêche Mirage with a folded paper fan.
Another counter, labeled Les Masculines, lines up bottles with a year printed beneath each one, including 1959, 1992, 2004, and 2024. In a lit wall niche, five large amber bottles stamped with bees include two labeled Shalimar and Mitsouko, both well-known names in the Guerlain catalog.
Near the windows, a two-step display invites guests to choose a scent first and a color second. Gold signs number each step, and cubes in white, navy, sage, tortoiseshell, pink, and yellow rest on gold bases.
Makeup Consultations and Skincare
The makeup side of the store centers on a vanity with two textured cream chairs embroidered with the Guerlain name. Lit mirrors rise behind trays of lipsticks, powders, and blushes. This setup supports the makeup consultations Disney says are available, giving guests a comfortable spot to try products with help from a Cast Member.
Skincare has its own display for the Orchidée Impériale line. A glossy blue flower sculpture, lit from within, anchors the area, and a sign reads “20 Years Pioneering Longevity Science.” Mirrored trays beside it sort the products by step, such as prepare and moisturize, which makes the routine easy to follow.
A Focus on Personalized Service
Cast Members at La Signature say they want every visit to feel personal. Whether you are shopping for a first bottle of perfume, looking for a gift, or replacing a favorite lipstick, staff can guide you through the options. The range of price points and the step-by-step displays make the shop approachable for casual browsers as well as longtime Guerlain fans.
Final Thoughts
La Signature’s refurbishment gives the France Pavilion a boutique that feels refined and closely tied to its Parisian roots. New oak built-ins, parquet floors, crystal chandeliers, and a dedicated history wall change the look of the space, while fragrances like Shalimar and Mitsouko, the L’Art & La Matière collection, and Orchidée Impériale skincare round out the shelves. On your next trip around World Showcase, set aside a few minutes to step inside, browse the displays, and ask a Cast Member for a recommendation.
