For sale is a magnificent collection of three genuine Guerlain Paris Flacon aux Abeilles (Imperial Bee Bottles). This job lot includes two large 500ml (17 Fl. Oz.) decanters and one medium 250ml (8.4 Fl. Oz.) decanter.
Made in France, these iconic bottles feature the famous relief-molded pattern of 69 bees along the body and a scalloped honeycomb dome. These are retail presentation editions featuring original base labels and matching dome stoppers with integrated plastic sealing sleeves, making them beautiful luxury display pieces for high-end vanity tables, bathrooms, or decanter collections.
COLLECTOR FEATURES AND PRODUCTION PROVENANCE Authentic Boutique Craftsmanship: These heavy glass splash bottles are equipped with their matching decorative glass ball stoppers. The stoppers feature the correct modern vertical-ribbed plastic sleeves around the base, ensuring an airtight seal that prevents evaporation and stops the glass from locking or sticking in the bottle neck.
Verified Manufacturing Details: While the clear labels do not print a flat calendar year, the technical specifications confirm an authentic late 1990s to 2000s boutique production window.
Alphanumeric Batch Coding: The large 500ml bottles feature the original base labels carrying the production code HT 9GA 5. The specific inclusion of the single number 9 identifies the production year ending in 9 within Guerlain's repeating algorithm (placing these around the late 1990s or 2000s era, perfectly matching the integration of the ribbed safety stopper sleeves).
Historical Regulation Markings: The labels clearly display the 89% vol calculation above the fluid ounces, an alcohol volume notation legally mandated across the EU from the late 1970s onward.
Boutique Address Details: The undersides are stamped with the address 68, Champs-Elysees 75008 Paris. The incorporation of the 5-digit French postal code system confirms a post-1972 institutional production. The molded glass bases also feature the traditional raised HP Guerlain Paris maker mark directly in the structure.
CONDITION DETAILS Excellent Clean Condition: All three bottles and their respective stoppers have been thoroughly checked and are in superb condition. There are no chips, cracks, or heavy clouding to the molded glass. The original factory label stickers remain safely attached and fully legible on the undersides of the bases.
Please note these bottles are empty and do not contain perfume, though they are completely refillable or can be used for custom bath oils and vanity display.
