This is the list of perfume bottles and bath & body products that Guerlain used. Most information gleaned from the book Guerlain, Perfume Bottles by Atlas & Monniot as well as my own bottles I have owned in the past. This is meant as a guide only and is a work in progress.

Flacon Bouchon Quadrilobe (Quatrefoil Stopper) c1908-Present
Flacon quadrilobe was made by five different glass manufacturers: Baccarat, Pochet et du Courval, St Gobain Desjonqueres, Cristalleries de Nancy, Cristal Romesnil, Verreries Brosse, and BSN-GD Flaconnage to hold extraits for various perfumes. Some later bottles hold eaux de toilette or eaux de parfum. Baccarat flacon #24. Created in 1908 for the fragrance Rue de la Paix and has been used since as the ‘house bottle’. The labels known as ‘etiquette laurier’ because of the laurel leaf borders, except for the perfume Coque D’Or, Dawamesk, Liu and Fleur de Feu which show a more 'modernist' design.
Since the bottle shape has been used for many decades, the various glassworks needed to modify their original moulds, including the bottle itself and the stopper. One should remember that with the change from ground glass stoppers to ones with the plastic plugs (plastemeri) - this automatically altered the overall capacity and size of the bottles. Atlas & Monniot in their book, mentioned that it would be "unreasonable" to list all the numerous changes that took place with these alterations. They state that "an original mould may have been modified up to five times for a bottle of the same capacity with only slight differences in the size."

Flacon Chauve Souris (The Bat) c1924
Urn shaped flacon designed by Raymond Guerlain and produced by Baccarat to hold only the extrait of Shalimar. The bottle was also produced by Pochet et du Courval, Saint Gobain des Jonqueres and Cristal Romesnil (1920s). This bottle came in several sizes from miniature to a huge factice. A rare example had a clear stopper, instead of the usual blue wash. Baccarat flacon #597. Shalimar was renamed No.90 for a short time during a lawsuit concerning another company who was using the name Shalimar for their perfume. You may find a rare No. 90 bottle with a clear translucent stopper, made by Baccarat. The earliest bottles feature a small hole drilled into the base of the stopper, in which threads would go through to seal and make a tassel. This feature dates these bottles to 1927-1936 according to a 1927 advertisement I have in the photo gallery showing a bottle with the hole in the stopper.

Nice share..
ReplyDeleteI am using Parure Guerlain for women. The fragrance features plum, bergamot, green notes; lily of the valley, and I liked it very much.. This reminded me of a spring summer garden after a rain storm , wish they still made it.
Once (30 years ago) I bought a vintage Guerlain wicker bottle with Eau de Toilette ( I think it was called so, I lost the paper label) in an antique shop in Vienna. I loved it, and never found it again. Do you know this Eau de Toilette or Guerlain, from when was it? Greeting!
ReplyDeleteI have 2 vintage Jicky Eau De Toilettes with Lalique stoppers, only 1/2 used, large 500ml bottle & 250ml, can you give me an idea of what they are worth & if they are rare & where I could sell them, thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi, it sounds like you have the old Eau de Toilette flacons with the frosted glass stoppers, known as the Goutte Flacons. These were not made by Lalique. You can look at the Flacon List to see these and get an idea of their age. Also, at the top of the web page, I have an appraisal service available if you need valuations. Thanks,
ReplyDeleteHello. I have an 8oz Clock flacon with the glass stopper. The center circle is filled in with (I'm assuming) fake pearls and diamonds mostly. There are 4 ruby like gems in the very center setting of the circle holding a larger diamond. Would you know what perfume it is and this flacon's worth (empty)?
ReplyDeleteHi, this was someone's craft project or idea of upcycling. I often find craft projects like this with different perfume bottles. As it is, there is no value, I am sorry to say. You cn add some flowers to make it a cute bud vase!
DeleteLot of good accurate information. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThere is also an 80 ml. Djedi, which measures 9 cm. or 3.5". Thank you. Alexandra
ReplyDeleteNice list! I am only missing the round flacons of Terracotta Eau de Toilette and Meteorites Eau de Toilette. Maybe its a good idea to add these bottle to complete this.
ReplyDeleteKeep on the good work!
Regina
Hello,
ReplyDeleteGreat blog. A wealth of information Guerlain.
I’m curious about a miniature Guerlain Shalimar I’ve has for a time. The classic flacon chauve souris but in blue with a clear stopper. The approximate height of the flacon is 4”. On the bottom of foot appears: ‘GUERLAIN BOTTLE MADE IN FRANCE.’ I have searched the internet in vain for this flacon colour but only seem to find clear with a blue stopper. I do encounter the contemporary versions of blue flacons but the stoppers are a totally different style. I did manage to locate an larger version of my flacon, the accompanying text cites that this is an EDT concentration? Is there anyone that can shed light on my mystery blue flacon? It’s volume in fl. oz./ml.? Is this uncommon/rare? Is the empty flacon valuable?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in adavance.
Best,
John D.
hi, can you please send me photos of your bottle at cleopatrasboudoir@gmail.com
DeleteAny updates on this? I have come across a similar bottle with a silver Shalimar label and would like to know if it’s authentic. It comes in a purple Marly box if it helps.
DeleteBeautiful perfume bottles! I never had a mind to collect something, just use and dispose. What a shame!
ReplyDeleteThe "flacon brun fumé" also held the (now extremely rare) fragrance Loin de Tout from 1933.

ReplyDeleteIn the early 90’s I was foolish enough to not buy Shalimar in a beautiful cobalt blue bottle in an elegant silver(?)gold filigree outer sleeve. It was a cylindrical bottle in the 6”-8” height range. I’d be happy to just see a photo of it, but have been searching for it ever since, and kicking myself along the way!
ReplyDeleteAnd I can’t believe I didn’t preserve my white and blue enameled spray Shalimar after hanging on to it empty for years. So beautiful!
This would have been a gold cylinder
DeleteWonderful photos. What I couldn't find was the rectangular flatter version of those Les Meterorites brass coloured holders/bottles, that my Mitsouko used to come in. I found a photo on one site but there is little mention of it anywhere on the web. It was my first holiday to Jersey (and their duty free department stores!) and my first bottle of Mistouko, which I still wear.
ReplyDeleteHi, I have a cobalt blue bottle with gold decoration & Guerlain written in gold on the front at the bottom, it isn’t one that I’ve seen before. Looks to be Victorian. Would love some info on it if anyone can help?
