Guerlain France - Perfume bottle - Glass - The Inverted Heart, 1912

From 1828 onward, Maison Guerlain distinguished itself with its significant creations whose contemporary and innovative flair has been leading for centuries. Some of these creations remain to this day an unmistakable source of inspiration within modern aesthetics. This 9.5 cm tall factice, in its original unopened state, of the famous fragrance L'Heure Bleue carries a touching history. Jacques Guerlain created L'Heure Bleue for his wife Lili. A hint of roses softened by iris, violet, and vanilla, a harmony of scents that refers to the moment when “the night has not yet found its star,” the inspiration for the Impressionist painters whose works Jacques Guerlain collected. The bottle with the ‘inverted heart’ features a heart-shaped stopper, a virtuoso and technical feat of the glassblowers at the Ateliers Baccarat. This rare factice has served as window display material and comes from Paris. The liquid in the bottle has evaporated over 100 years.
