Often in ebay listings, I see sellers claiming some Guerlain perfumes are rare, when in the case of Shalimar, Mitsouko and Jicky, which are not actually rare, the most common of all Guerlain perfumes.
Over the course of history, Guerlain has offered several hundred different perfumes, while some of these are still being sold today, there are others that are quite harder to find and some that are downright rare.
Of the most popular Guerlain perfumes and the most commonly found are what I call the fantastic five. These perfumes have consistently sold for over 90-160 years and are considered standbys.

Good information. I have a mid-century bottle of parfum that just says Chypry Paris, can I assume it is Chypry 53?
