Marquise D'Auberive by Guerlain c1893. It was named after the character Marquise d'Auberive in Émile Augier's comedy "Les Effrontes" in which was played on stage by Madame Jane Hading in 1893 at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. The character was also played by Cécile Sorel.
Guerlain created custom fragrance for various nobles, celebrities and royals over the years. The perfume may have been presented to the actress who played the part of the Marquise.
Fragrance Composition:
So what does it smell like? I have not seen an example of this fragrance yet and I am not sure what the notes would be. I would imagine it was a floral.
Bottles:
It was most likely contained in the Carre flacon like other Guerlain perfumes of the era.
Fate of the Fragrance:
Discontinued. Most likely only issued as a limited edition for a specific person.
