Hello and welcome! Please understand that this website is not affiliated with Guerlain in any way, it is only a reference site for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by. All trademarks belong to their respective owners. The main objective of this website is to chronicle the 200+ year old history of the Guerlain fragrances and showcase the bottles and advertising used throughout the years. Let this site be your source for information on antique and vintage Guerlain perfumes. Another goal of this website is to show the present owners of the Guerlain company how much we miss many of the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances! I invite you to leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or on what occasion, what it smelled like to you, how it made you feel, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table), who knows, perhaps someone from the current Guerlain brand might see it. If you have any questions, please send all images of your bottle and pertinent information directly to me at cleopatrasboudoir@gmail.com. I will try to assist you the best I can.

Ebay Find! Customized Prestige Atomizer Bottle




Customized Bottles

When you purchase a Customized Bottle from Guerlain, you can have your favorite fragrance in its own special bottle along with a personal message written on the front.

If you choose the Prestige Atomizer, it is sold empty, along with a funnel, your bottle can be filled with either Shalimar, Jicky, L'Heure Bleue, Mitsouko, L'Instant de Guerlain or Samsara perfume. This is a wonderful option for those who buy large bottle and need to transfer them into a more practical format. .

You can customize your bottle with an atomizer bulb and a ribbon which would be tied around the neck in colors of beige, blue, gold, brown, khaki, black or pink.

The border around the label can either be in a classical, Victorian, Byzantine or Art Deco design. You could also choose the iconic Bee Bottle in three sizes: 250ml, 500ml and 1 liter. Each of the bees and scale motifs are picked out in rich gilded enamel. Your choice of fragrances are: Jicky, Shalimar, Mitsouko, L'Instant de Guerlain, L'Heure Bleue and Samsara.

For information, contact Isabelle Rousseau: irousseau@guerlain.fr at the Paris office.

Ebay Find! Limited Edition Moscow Perfume!

In March 2013, designer Sylvia Toledano, in association with Guerlain, created a limited edition series of five perfume bottles adorned with jewelry: gold chains and drops of semi precious stones. 

The fragrances are: L'Instant Magic (black onyx), Nuit d'Amour (amethyst), Chypre Fatal (rose quartz), Moscow (turquoise) and London (carnelian). 

Each bottles holds 8.4 oz./ 250 ml eau de parfum. This limited bottle collection was only available at Bergdorf Goodman in the USA for a very short time, as of August 4, 2013, they are no longer available on the site and are extremely hard to find.. I don't know what the original price was.


On ebay this week, a seller is offering the Moscow perfume, fitted with the golden chains and turquoise drops.
