Shalimar: Chauve Souris Flacons

Please note that this is an updated blog post of my original from 2010 which was found on my defunct website guerlainperfumes.webs.com. All photos and information was gathered at that time and published in 2010. Many of my collages and informative photos have been repurposed by other websites (not my own) and do not give credit to where they got them (my blog). In 2013, I had made the move to blogspot, so all previously published articles are now found here - with most being updated with any new info.




Flacon Chauve Souris (The Bat) c1924- present

Shalimar extrait de parfum was presented in several different flacons over the years, and all bottles will have a gilded batwing shaped label. The oldest design is its original one from 1925, the urn shaped flacon, called the "Chauve Souris" by Baccarat (#597).

Shalimar - Black Mystery Bottle c2007

Shalimar 'Black Mystery' by Guerlain: launched in 2007, as limited edition collector's flacons for the Christmas holiday. Guerlain housed Shalimar parfum in a black Baccarat crystal flacon and the Shalimar Eau de Parfum in black glass spray bottle. There has not been a change to the formula for either concentration.

From Guerlain:

Among the most prominent and legendary fragrance in history, Shalimar was created as an ode to love. To recapture that magical feeling, Guerlain reinterpreted the Shalimar legend, with a nod to designer Philippe Starck. Much like his famed black crystal Baccarat chandelier, the latest offering from the Shalimar family is a modern rare jewel. Crafted of smoky black crystal with burnished gold accents, the beloved oriental scent of Bergamot, Iris, Vanilla and Amber finds a new home in this mysterious and striking flacon.

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.

Le Sacre des Orientaux - Limited Edition Coffret c2005

Limited edition coffret containing 20 ml extraits (parfum) of Shalimar, L'Heure Bleue and Samsara, each quadrilobe flacon is adorned with a single genuine Swarovski crystal strung onto the baudruchage. As you can see from the photo below, Samsara is tied with red cords, Shalimar is tied with navy blue cords and L'Heure Bleue is tied with royal blue cords, each color is respective of the traditional colors associated with each perfume. This boxed set was exclusively available for purchase at the opening of the newly renovated Guerlain flagship store in 2005, with only 69 pieces created.

Gatchutcha c1928

Gatchutcha was launched in 1928. Gatchucha was the nickname character Gracieuse Detcharry in Pierre Loti's novel Ramuntcho from 1897.

I have no idea what type of fragrance this was.

Presented in a flacon by Cristalleries de Baccarat design # 538. This bottle design was also used in 1924 for Coryse, used in 1926 for Lasco, & in 1928 for Guerlain, & Les Parfums Guilhene.

Discontinued, date unknown.
