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.

Guerlain Home Fragrances - Les Parfums d'Interieur

Any perfume house worth its extrait is now adding home fragrances to its range, enabling perfume-lovers to infuse their homes with the same scent they spritz behind their ears. As early as the 19th century, Guerlain offered numerous scents for the home. Many people may not know that Guerlain has currently has a home fragrance range including: room sprays, candles, incense sticks and soaps. They are only available from their flagship store on the Champs-Elysées in Paris, usually only sold in their boutique and some are even given away for gifts with purchase or to special VIP clients.

180g (6.4oz) candles retailing at $95 each.


Candles:




Bois des Indes (Indian Woods): it's spiced woods scent recalls an intense journey to the sacred heart of India. Another place that transports you into the cool air of an agreement of crushed leaves revived by the sparkle fruity rhubarb. The mild sweetness of sandalwood weaves jasmine petals on a bed of vanilla.

Fleurs Des Iles (Island Flowers): based on the Aqua Allegoria scent Lys Soleia.Top notes: bergamot, lemon and palm leaves. Heart: lily, ylang-ylang, and tropical fruits. Base: tuberose, vanilla and white musk.

Boudoir Vénitien (Venetian Boudoir): its powdery floral scent imagines an intimate moment in Italy.Venetian Boudoir is a tribute to the warm interior and baroque. The intimacy of a cozy alcove nimbus of a tender and sweet scent that starts on blackcurrant. The Parma violet then whispers its secrets to the rich leather of Cordova, in a cloud of scent of rice powder. 

Forêt de Sumatra (Sumatran Forest):  its  exotic woody scent is inspired by the imaginary scenery of the Indonesian forest, with notes of moss, jasmine, ylang-ylang, smoked tea, vanilla, benzoin, tonka bean and patchouli. On the occasion of its launch, the design of the entire candle collection has been changed into a heavier, shiny glass jar bearing Guerlain's revived Sun King symbol. c2013.

Pot Pourri Parisien: (Parisian Potpourri): A stroll through the heart of the French capital, an encounter on the banks of the Seine, a stolen kiss… A bouquet of aromas with enchanting lingering notes. Paris, the city of temptations, where the sweet smell of cinnamon flirts with patchouli and sandalwood. A potpourri of scents, like a vague memory of yesteryear. Audacious Paris. Romantic Paris. Paris, I love you. Oriental, Aromatic. An olfactory reference to Jicky. Notes of orange, petit grain, neroli, mint, rosemary, marjoram, cinnamon, geranium, patchouli, sandalwood, benzoin. c2013.

Pluie De Petales (Mist of Petals): the fragrance is inspired by the perfume Idylle.

Hiver en Russie (Russian Winter): its woodsy oriental fragrance recalls shivering at the sumptuous frosty Slavic palace . Contrast between the warmth of golden domes and snow white ... It gets inside and discovers a mystical fragrance from precious woods and incense. Gradually, the warm amber reassurance and shuddered at the touch of clove exploding overwhelming sensuality. Recollecting the pleasure of dazzling palaces and the luxuriousness of Russia under the Tsars. The perfumed tea of a samovar gets together with the smell of wax. The precious ashes enriched with myrrh illustrate the gold churches' mystic splendor. 

Contes Tahitiens (Tahitian Fairy-Tales): its friuty and solar scent recalls the exotic scents of the islands ... Reminiscent of lush shores where time languished, Tales Tahitians breathes like a whirlwind of sunflowers sweet tiare of fresh guava, which capsized on the creamy sweetness of sandalwood Marquesas and sensuality of vanilla Raiatea.

Route de la Soie (The Silk Road): Inspired by the fragrance of Guerlain's Samsara perfume.

Orchidee Imperiale: Contains the signature scent of the Orchidee Imperiale skincare line..

Un Instant au Soleil (A Moment in the Sun): a soapy floral, I do not have the notes on this or which Guerlain perfume inspired it, it may be a reference to the Terracotta line or AA Bouquet No.1 or AA Jasminora or L'Instant perfume.

Le Temps Des Lilas (Lilac Time): a lilac soliflore candle from the early 1980s. Found on an empty candle holder with label on base, "LE TEMPS DES LILAS Guerlain Scented Candle 175 grams Copyright 1983." Referenced in Le Figaro magazine, 1985.
