In September of 2014, Guerlain launches the re-edition of its vintage fragrance Coque d'Or from 1937. Perfumer Thierry Wasser adapts the old formula created by Jacques Guerlain following the modern safety standards in the industry. However, if you want to try the old formulas with the original ingredients, you can do so by visiting the Maison Guerlain museum of perfume bottles. Coque d'Or from 1937, named after the French name for the opera by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, means "golden shell." Jacques Guerlain dedicated it to his friend Sergei Diaghilev, the founder of Ballet de Russe. The perfume came in cobalt blue bow-shaped Baccarat bottles coated in gold, designed by Jean-Michel Franck. Guerlain relaunches Coque d'Or as an exclusive vintage edition using a small number of the original Baccarat bottles from the archive. The fragrance is chypre, fruity, floral and musky. It opens with accords of aldehydes, bergamot, fruits, anise and lavender. The heart is composed of jasmine, carnation, cyclamen and orris root merged with woody and oriental tones of vetiver, patchouli, tolu balsam and musk, laid on the base of moss, civet and vanilla. Guerlain Coque d'Or (2014) is available in only 29 copies in the original bottles of 190 ml at the price of 17,000 Euros, which makes this the most expensive Guerlain edition so far.
