Original antique Mitsouko wood effect box and bottle from the 1930s-40s of the Guerlain L'Heure Bleue Paris perfume, with the Baccarat bottle with a red and blue label that includes the indications "province et en Belgique" and the Roman numerals I. VS. According to Guerlain references, these details correspond to the years 1930 or 1940.

Mitsouko, Fol Arome and L'Heure Bleue parquet boxes, years 1912-1920. This box is made of wood covered in paper, they are from the first stage, notice that the design on the front is different from the current boxes that we normally see. The box we show you is the old one and has a wood grain effect, so the paint source is also slightly foliated. Additionally, the tree design is more stylized than the later boxes and the bird motifs are also slightly different shapes.

This Guerlain object is highly collectible, although it does not contain the perfume, which possibly evaporated once opened. Few could have imagined 100 years ago that, on a beautiful afternoon in 1912, Jacques Guerlain would experience during that 'heure bleue' an emotion so intense that it could only be expressed through perfume. Thus was born L'Heure Bleue, in honor of that magical hour of dusk, suspended in time.

L'Heure Bleue is presented in the iconic bottle, created in 1908 for the Guerlain Rue de la Paix perfume and which has since housed almost all of the house's fragrances.
