I'm very interesting in this very old Shalimar presentation which perfume is my favorite and my biggest collection over 200 presentations.

Interestingly though, did you know that in 2002 an auction held by the Fine Arts Gallery in Geneva, Switzerland offered a Hermes metal flacon for Guerlain perfumes made in 1918 which was designed to be placed in the rear pocket of hunting pants. One side of its handle is stamped HERMES, and the other GUERLAIN PARIS FRANCE. It just goes to show that a relationship did exist between the houses way back then. Of course Calèche was not created until 1961, so this ebay listing - just as you've said - is indeed proof positive that the 'bouchon coeur' flacon is loved by many.Blog Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16031099057307131978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970730377860494514.post-62983928922604298262010-10-06T01:32:34.155+02:002010-10-06T01:32:34.155+02:00The guessing work is superbly conducted and I cher...The guessing work is superbly conducted and I cherish our discussion on this rarity, which is indeed probably due to shortages of flacons, if nothing else. <br /><br />It's interesting to note that the flacon bouchon coeur must have been so predominent and so plentiful (and so beautiful) that owners even kept it to decant other perfumes in it, such as what appears to be <a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VTG-GUERLAIN-HERMES-PARIS-FRANCE-CALECHE-PERFUME-BOTTLE-/330480104792?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cf2263558" rel="nofollow">this case on Ebay. </a>(quick, before the link expires) Not that the two cases are comparable, but it showcases well how the bottle design was very popular.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970730377860494514.post-513791770107684382010-10-05T08:16:10.749+02:002010-10-05T08:16:10.749+02:00Great piece - article and bottle , Dimitri !

Thanks for taking the time.<br />Even if I've yet to be bitten by the Guerlain bug fragrance-wise (and my wallet is thankful for it), the firm's flair for flacons is a different story: Guerlain has given perfumery some of its most iconic and beautiful bottle. The bouchon coeur flacon has always been one of my very favorites; it, and the famous 1921 / 1925 Shalimar fan flacon, have both got to be right up there in the Top 5 best bottles of all time.<br />Have a great weekend,<br />MichaelMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933395486332411202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970730377860494514.post-22560418984208347242010-10-01T17:49:08.818+02:002010-10-01T17:49:08.818+02:00Sounds wonderful David.

It was a limited edition of a 30 ml. However, this doesn't happen so often that they lend this bottle for other fragrances. At the same moment they also did put Insolence and L'Instant Magic in this bottle ( with spray 50 ml edp).steven verstraetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09896438176841199085noreply@blogger.com
