Up for sale is an incredibly rare, piece of perfume history. This is the highly coveted, limited-edition "La Route De La Soie" (The Silk Road) presentation of Guerlain Samsara, released to celebrate the turn of the millennium.
Unlike the standard solid red commercial boxes of this era, this legendary release features the stunning, multi-colored artistic map design wrapping the outer packaging, paying homage to Jean-Paul Guerlain’s historic travel inspirations through Asia.
Item Highlights:
Condition: Brand New in Box (NIB), vintage deadstock. ( Box has slight rounding of the corners, minor storage ware to box, see photos)
Seal: factory-sealed
Size: 1.7 fl. oz. / 50 ml
Concentration : Eau de Toilette (EDT) Natural Spray
Origin: Made in France (Guerlain, Paris ©1999)
Why This Is a Holy Grail for Perfume Collectors:
The Artwork Box: This specific graphic box was produced in strictly limited quantities and is nearly impossible to find today—especially in a factory-sealed state. It is highly sought after by vintage bottle and packaging collectors for display.
The 1999 Formulation: Because this box carries the 1999 copyright, it houses the legendary late-90s juice. This formulation is famous for its massive concentration of genuine, restricted Mysore Sandalwood and rich jasmine, long before international fragrance restrictions (IFRA) forced reformulations in the 2000s.
This is a true investment piece that will only continue to appreciate in value. It has been stored carefully in a dark, temperature-controlled, smoke-free collector's environment to preserve the integrity of both the fragrance and the outer artwork.
