This charming Lancôme presentation dates to the 1940s and features a boxed set of four perfumes. The rectangular cardboard box is covered in polychrome-printed paper, richly illustrated with an idyllic garden scene depicting flowering parkland and decorative fountains. The romantic imagery evokes a sense of refinement and leisure, aligning with the mood of the fragrances enclosed within.
Inside the box are four matching cubic perfume bottles, each standing 6 cm tall (approximately 2.36 inches). These bottles are designed in a style referred to as bouchon vannerie, which translates to “basketweave stopper.” Each is topped with a frosted glass stopper molded in relief with a pattern resembling woven wicker—an elegant, tactile detail that recalls the texture of handwoven baskets. This design element not only adds visual interest but also offers a subtle nod to traditional French craftsmanship. On the bottom they are embossed with "Lancome France".
These perfumes represent some of Lancôme’s most evocative creations from that era, and their inclusion in a unified, decorative set adds both collectible and historical appeal. The entire presentation was conceived by Georges Delhomme, Lancôme’s longtime artistic director, whose refined sense of style defined many of the house’s early packaging innovations.
