L'Extrait de Roses pour Les Lèvres by Guerlain was a liquid lip color, introduced in 1853. It was said to be a long lasting formula that stayed in place even during meals.
L'Artiste: journal de la littérature et des beaux-arts, 1856:
Art et décoration, Volume 5, 1899:
"Par conséquent ce mélancolique visage ne demandera pas à Guerlain son rouge de Damas ni son rouge de la cour ni son rouge Plessis. Pourtant ce pâle visage prendra de l'extrait de roses pour les lèvres, ou de la pommade carminée, car une petite bouche fraîche et vermeille est un des plus grands de la beauté."
Art et décoration, Volume 5, 1899:
"L'Extrait de roses pour les lèvres de Guerlain supprime ces inconvénients et parfume délicieusement la bouche."
The bottle was manufactured by Pochet et du Courval. It is the "Standard 15g" bottle originally created in 1860, of colorless cylindrical glass, the brand and Champs Elysées titled in relief.
"GUERLAIN" and "HP" (POCHET AND COURVAL) molded in relief on the base.
