Guerlain Perfumes: carre flacon

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.

Rex c1890s

Rex by Guerlain: launched in the 1890s.

Unter den Linden c1850s

Unter den Linden by Guerlain: launched sometime in the 1850s I believe.

Unter den Linden ("under the linden trees") is a boulevard in the Mitte district of Berlin, the capital of Germany. It is named for its linden (basswood in American English, lime in British English) trees that line the grassed pedestrian mall between two carriageways.

Bouquet du la Sierra Morena by Guerlain c1834

Bouquet du la Sierra Morena by Guerlain: launched in 1834. Its name derives from the Sierra Morena mountain range in Spain. I believe that this fragrance was created for the Spanish market.

Bouquet de L'Impératrice Eugénie by Guerlain c1843

Bouquet de L'Impératrice Eugénie by Guerlain: launched in 1843. Named in honor of Empress Eugenie.

So what does it smell like? I believe it was a perfume based on the cologne.

It was available in the carre flacon.

Discontinued, date unknown. It was still being sold in 1903.

Jicky in Argentina

Here is a carre flacon for Jicky, the old foil label is marked "Extrait Jicky" and "Industria Argentina" at the top of the label, as you can see, the label is in very bad shape. The base of the bottle is embossed with Guerlain France Paris and the one side has the Woman with Flags logo. The bottle is 4.0" approx. tall.

This finished product was produced in Argentina with Guerlain's imported French concentrated extracts for the South American market.

Chypre de Paris by Guerlain c1909

Chypre de Paris by Guerlain: launched in 1909.

Guerlain first launched a chypre back in 1850 with their Eau de Chypre followed by their Cyprisine in 1894, and then Chypre de Paris in 1909. But the mother of all of Guerlain chypres was in fact Mitsouko.

Eau de Camélia et Vétiver c1834

Eau de Camélia et Vétiver: created by Pierre Francois Pascal Guerlain in 1834.
