In 1952, Lancôme introduced a special perfume bottle called "la Goutte d'Eau", the teardrop, to hold 1/5 oz extraits of Magie and Trésor. It was designed by Georges Delhomme and most likely made by Verreries de Bresle who manufactured most of Lancôme's flacons.
The bottle is made up of polished clear crystal and has a brass screw cap fitted with a loop with a silk ribbon attached, which can be removed so that the bottle could be suspended from a necklace, pin or chatelaine. The bottle measures 3 3/4″ in length x 1 5/8″ wide. The brass screw cap will be engraved with "Lancôme" and either "Magie", "Peu Etre" or "Trésor".

The New Yorker, 1953:
"Lancome's Tresor, one of this year's newcomers, worldly and challenging, is presented in a crystal bottle that is shaped and faceted like a diamond and of a size to dwarf the Koh-inoor; an ounce is $48. The purse-size bottle (a quarter of an ounce for $10.80) is a glass teardrop, and it has a gold-plated ring at the top, so that it can also be worn as a pendant."
Cue, 1953:
"Antique Venetian teardrop gems inspired the design of the handsome purse flacon in which you'll be toting another of the season's brand new scents: Lancome's "Tresor."
Mademoiselle, 1961:
" Teardrop-shaped bottle, holding Magie fragrance. By Lancome, $9."
