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.

Robertet Factory Version of Guerlain's Mitsouko

Here is a vintage 1940s-1960s bottle (in a sealed box) of the Robertet Perfume Factory's version of Guerlain's famous Mitsouko perfume, found in an ebay auction. Robertet is a well known perfumery materials and flavor company going back to the mid 1800s. They sold versions of famous perfumes in the gift shop at their factory.

Please understand that this perfume was not made by Guerlain, but by the talented perfumers at Robertet. There is lots of info on Robertet on the internet so I won't post that here.
