She can wear them all, old and new. We are very competitive with this house, as far as who bought a full bottle of what.

In fact, it was the first Guerlain perfume I ever bought. <br /><br />The story behind the creation of L'Heure Bleue may be more fable than fact. That said, it was created in 1912, during the end of the Belle Epoque as the military storm clouds were brewing over Europe. In other words, it was made during the twilight hour of a peaceful time.<br /><br />I did not know that it was being stopped... and will have to look into that.<br /><br />Chris Hi, lotusgreen,

Thanks!

I did not know that it was being stopped… and will have to look into that.
