A very large, very rare, very old bottle of Shalimar Perfume by Guerlain Paris. This bottle of genuine perfume was bought in Paris in 1947 or 1948 by my Dad. He gave it to my Mom, who used about half of the perfume. It was stored (in cool, dark) in approximately 1953, never to be brought out until now. The Baccarat style bottle, with stopper, is about 6 inches tall and 4 inches wide. I believe that makes it the 2 oz size. The box is VERY beat up, but has done its job of protecting the bottle. The red & blue sticker is still in the box. The bottle has etching on the bottom, and a hand scribed number 26. I have no way of knowing if the perfume is still good, and there is no guarantee of this. But it smells very good, exactly as Shalimar should. From my reading, this is the older formula, which is pretty universally thought to be the best, and much better than the current formula. I have not tried to clean the bottle, or open it, for fear of damaging it or causing it to leak. My only knowledge of value is from perusing other auctions. If you have any definite knowledge of Shalimar, or of this particular bottle or vintage, or the value, please feel free to message me. I have described it honestly and to the best of my limited knowledge. Don’t be afraid to make an offer. I will accept the first reasonable offer. Thank you and good luck.
