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.
Carmen Le Bolshoï by Guerlain: to be launched in October 2015. Created by Thierry Wasser. Presented as a limited edition made expressly for Russia's Le Bolshoï theater in Moscow. Celebrating Le Bolshoï's 240th anniversary, the theatre is presenting a special perfume, Carmen along with a performance of the opera of the same name (which is also celebrating an anniversary, it's 140th).
I hate to break it to you, but Guerlain is being counterfeited. These perfumes are being sold on various websites as "manufacturer's rejects" or "defective" perfumes, they are unboxed and "may have defects".
Also sold as:
- "sephora dubai"
- "Dubai AAA"
- "Gred AAA"
- "1-1 Copy"
- "1:1"
- "1-1"
- "1:1 AAA"
- "1VS1"
- "Grade AAA"
- "AAA Quality"
- "Grade AA"
- "Grade AAA Replica"

Also some wholesaler's of COUNTERFEIT PERFUME TESTERS are describing their goods as follows:
"All perfume ingredients are imported from France. So quality will be much better than other suppliers'. And we put more fragrance capacity into every perfumes and freezing it for a long time, so smell can last for a long time. Normally it can keeps 1-2 days, even some Super AAA quality and 1-1 Copies can last more than 3 days."
This was also found on a counterfeiters site:
"1. What is Is 1VS1 fragrance ?
The best quality copy fragrance!!!
2. What is 1VS1 fragrance?
1VS1 fragrance, of good quality, is similar to the origin and smell 70% - 90% same."
