Ebay Find! Shalimar Quadrilobe Flacon c1940s

Shalimar: Quadrilobe Flacon

For a short time in the 1940s, Shalimar was launched in Guerlain's original squatty rectangular bottle with the mushroom stopper, called the bouchon quadrilobe, manufactured by Baccarat. The bottle came housed in a green box with Art Nouveau like gilded designs of stylized lotus flowers.

Flacon quadrilobe was made by various manufacturers such as Baccarat, Pochet et du Courval and Cristalleries de Nancy to hold extraits for various perfumes. Some later bottles hold eaux de toilette or eaux de parfum.

The labels are the standard Shalimar style. Guerlain may have released special editions over the years in different sizes, compare your bottle to the measurements and dates below to accurately date your bottle.

Jicky c1889

Jicky by Guerlain: originally created in 1889. It is a classical fragrance and, despite the age, it is timeless and still very modern.

According to the legend, the perfume was named after a girl Aimé Guerlain was in love with when he was a student in England, and then it was said that the perfume was named after his uncle Jacques Guerlain’s nickname – Jicky.

It is more likely, though, that Aimé, a gay man, was hiding his love for someone else named Jacques and someone at Guerlain created the story of a long lost female love to hide his sexuality and to protect the reputation of Guerlain during the late 1800s, which is not unreasonable given the time period.

In 1911, Gabriel Guerlain said "the name Jicky (diminutive of Jack) was the familiar name of one of my many sons when he was a child. As we found it original we gave it to one of our scents."

Fleur de Feu by Guerlain c1948

Fleur de Feu, launched by Guerlain in 1948 and created by Jacques Guerlain, is a fragrance imbued with profound symbolism and historical significance. The name Fleur de Feu translates from French as "Flower of Fire," a poetic and evocative phrase that captures the essence of rebirth and renewal. Pronounced [flerr duh foe], this name conjures imagery of vibrant blooms emerging from the flames, reminiscent of the mythical phoenix—a legendary bird that bursts into flames at the end of its life cycle, only to rise anew from its ashes. The phoenix symbolizes transformation, resilience, and the cyclical nature of life, perfectly reflecting the fragrance's intention to embody a fresh start following the devastation of World War II.

The choice of name, Fleur de Feu, is imbued with a dual layer of meaning. On one hand, it represents the phoenix's rise from destruction, symbolizing hope and regeneration. On the other, it pays homage to the blossoming of beauty from adversity, much like Paris itself, which had recently emerged from the shadow of Nazi occupation. The fragrance, with its spicy floral composition layered over the Guerlinade accord, embodies a triumphant resurgence, combining the complexity of rich, spicy flowers with the timeless elegance of Guerlain’s signature scent.
