L'Heure Bleue for Women by Guerlain 2.5 oz EDP

Guerlain produces the most premium perfumes in the world. Some of the ingredients take years to grow. I have worn this fragrance, L'heure Bleu, for 30 years and consistently receive compliments. I do not like having things that are common, everyday, or here for a season and gone. I was shocked by the price; usually it's $300 or $400 for the small version. At Walmart's prices, I can give a few as gifts. If you like unique and subtle, you will enjoy this.

I have been using L'Heure Bleue since I was 16 and I am now 80! It has accompanied me through all the greatest moments in my life. In the early days, and certainly through the seventies you could also use the matching bath oil, bath salts, body lotion and talc, so your special occasions wearing the scent could be preceded or followed by the total experience. There was also the wonderful soap which went with any of the great GUERLAIN perfumes called Fleur des Alpes which would scent your whole bathroom. GUERLAIN have made the greatest perfumes which fortunately still exist like Vol de Nuit, used by my mother, Shalimar, Mitsouko, Liu, Aprés L'Ondée, immediately identifiable and unique, like any great work of art. Why not give them back their accompanying soaps, oils, salts and lotions instead of creating all those more recent perfumes which smell just like so many others, run if the mill, very chemical almost like insecticides with a good dose of Patchouli? Your greatest assets dear GUERLAIN friends are those magical unique creations invented by your genius ancestor Jacques GUERLAIN! It can't be helped that you never had anyone since with that great gift, that nose, but show and market those treasures as you used to by giving them the companions they deserve.
