Guerlain Heritage Case #1 c2008

For its 180th anniversary in 2008 Guerlain issued a luxurious leather coffret called the "Guerlain Heritage Case", containing a collection of 18 of the house's fragrances best representing its perfume history since 1828.


Only 204 copies of this limited edition case were made. The labels on the bottles are inspired by historic Guerlain labels from the Art Deco period.

"A precious and elegant leather showcase that opens to reveal 18 iconic fragrances. From Eau de Cologne Impériale, composed for Empress Eugénie in 1853, to Guerlain's newest scent, Cruel Gardénia, created in 2008. This case is a vision of elegance, a symbol of rare and refined luxury and a prestigious gift to celebrate a unique fragrance heritage."

The leather case includes Angélique Noire (eau de parfum), Bois d'Arménie (eau de parfum), Cologne du 68, Cologne Impériale (eau de cologne), Cuir Beluga (eau de parfum), Habit Rouge, Insolence (eau de parfum) , Iris Ganache (eau de parfum) , Jicky (eau de parfum) , L'Heure Bleue (eau de parfum), L'Instant (eau de parfum), L'Instant pour Homme, Mitsouko (eau de parfum), Nahema (eau de parfum), Rose Barbare (eau de parfum), Samsara (eau de parfum), Shalimar (eau de parfum)and Vetiver (eau de toilette).

The case retailed for $3,500.


Our friend "Monsieur Guerlain" has posted that "In the collector's box for Guerlain's 180th anniversary in 2008, there was a labelling error: the Jicky bottle contained L'Heure Bleue, while the L'Heure Bleue bottle contained Jicky." Photos by Mr. Guerlain.
