Guerlain 1903

Le 19 mai 2008 à 11:02 sur 1000fragrances

This ad for Guerlain - Georges Busson "Au bois" (aquarelle painted in 1898) was used a lot in the story of Habit Rouge. But the original caption was about another fragrance.

Guerlain - Bouquet de Faunes

Le 16 mai 2008 à 19:04 sur 1000fragrances
