L’Heure Bleue, the Blue Hour—that magical time of day when the sun has gone down and the sky takes on a brilliant sapphire hue. Long a treasured inspiration for artists, it is also the inspiration behind the iconic fragrance from Guerlain, first produced in 1912.

Our vintage bottle, originally designed by the famous glass artist Georges Chevalier of Baccarat, evokes the luxury, style, and romance of Parisian nightlife in the early twentieth century. The hollow heart-shaped stopper was a feat of craftsmanship in its day. The lovely label on the front was clearly printed in a time when those kinds of things were still done beautifully, and the small metal “G” seal is an exquisite touch.

Lovers of perfume, luxury design, or glass objects will all find this bottle an intriguing artifact to contemplate.
