La Goutte d'Eau - Teardrop Flacon c1952

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".

Jumelles Perfume Presentation c1952

In 1952,  Lancome released its "Jumelles" presentation as a limited edition perfume. The presentation set was designed by Georges Delhomme. The set included a pair of frosted, fluted glass bottles that interlock to form an X shape for a unique display. Each bottle measures 4" long x 1" diameter and are fitted with gilded brass screw caps and gilded foil paper labels. 

The pair of bottles are held together with a pink satin ribbon tied around their necks. The presentation is housed in an oval paperboard gift box decorated with an Asian flair. The set could be found with Lancome's popular scents at the time: Magie, Tropiques or Tresor.
