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.

Flacon Tortue Parfum Exceptional Edition c2015

For the 2015 Holiday season, Guerlain issued a new limited edition luxury perfume bottle called the "Flacon Tortue Parfum Exceptional Edition." 

This year we are treated to a reissue of the exclusive Baccarat turtle bottle, first used in 1914 for the perfume Parfum des Champs Elysees. The front of the bottle is emblazoned with a gold foil label featuring the vintage style font for "Guerlain Paris" and familiar sun king image. Black and gold silk baudruchage is wound tightly around the neck and stopper of the bottle terminating in a wide swath of silk tassel held in place by the gold Guerlain G seal.

Housed inside this new edition is a special edition of the Le Parfum du 69 perfume. Only 47 numbered pieces will be available for sale. The exclusive flacon holding 60 ml of Parfum will retail for an astounding price of 9,500 €.
