Description from the seller

Guerlain Mitsouko – Flacon Bouchon Coeur – Circa 1925

In auction, a very rare piece of perfume history: an original bottle of Mitsouko by Guerlain, dating from the 1920s. Created by Jacques Guerlain in 1919, this perfume is considered the absolute masterpiece of the “Chypre” family, and this version represents one of the earliest editions put on the market.

Authenticity and Rarity Features:

* Baccarat Manufacture: The bottle bears at the bottom the prestigious acid stamp of Baccarat, testimony to the historic collaboration between the glassmaking house and Guerlain.
* Matching Numbers: A key detail for high-end collections: the hand-engraved number under the cap matches perfectly the one engraved on the bottom of the bottle. This proves the piece’s absolute integrity, confirming that the cap and bottle were born together and have not been replaced over time.
* Original Label: The front circular label is original to the era and, despite a century of life, retains extraordinary legibility and charm, with the typical graphic ornaments of the 1920s.
* Iconic Design: The famous “bouchon coeur” bottle (upside-down heart-shaped cap) in clear crystal, a masterpiece of Art Nouveau that influenced 20th-century industrial design.

Condition:
The bottle is in excellent condition, with no chips or evident cracks in the crystal. The original box is included in the lot; while it shows evident signs of time and damage due to its 100 years of history, it constitutes a fundamental added value for provenance and the integrity of the vintage set.
A unique opportunity for vintage bottle collectors and lovers of Guerlain’s historical perfumes.

Box dimensions: 14x8.7x5.8 cm
Bottle dimensions: 12x6.7x3.9 cm

Shipping carefully with proper packaging.
