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.

Gouttes Parfumées - Scented Pocket Drops
Guerlain's Gouttes Parfumées (Scented Pocket Drops) were small, pocket sized glass tubes holding perfume. The cylindrical vials were topped by ground glass ball stoppers. These bottles are very rare and can be very hard to find. They most likely date to around 1860s-1880s.
Some perfumes that could be found: Spring Flowers, Fleurs de Serre, Frangipane, and more.

Guerlain - Flacon Canard c1914
Guerlain Flacon Canard (Duck)
Unusual green glass bottle with bronze wings and cap. This beautiful bottle was created by Jacques Guerlain in 1914 and was limited to only 3 copies.
The bottle stands 9.5 cm tall.
Jacques Guerlain was a great art and history enthusiast, this bottle and it is certainly inspired by an antique vase of porphyry, "eagle" Suger.
This bottle was undoubtedly made for a private commission and can be considered a work of art in its own right as its implementation is realistic and exceptional.
