The Flacon Aigle (Eagle Bottle), produced between 1985 and 1993, was an exclusive design created to house Guerlain’s distinguished men’s fragrance Derby. Manufactured by the renowned French glassmaker Pochet et du Courval, the bottle embodied both strength and refinement, qualities that perfectly mirrored the character of the scent it contained. Its name, “Aigle,” directly references the eagle—an enduring symbol of power, nobility, and freedom—which lent the flacon a distinctly masculine identity.
Reserved solely for Derby, the Flacon Aigle became inseparable from the fragrance itself, marking it as a connoisseur’s choice within Guerlain’s masculine range. The design’s exclusivity emphasized Derby’s special position in the house’s catalog, distinguishing it from other Guerlain releases of the time. Although produced for less than a decade, the Flacon Aigle remains a notable example of Guerlain’s collaboration with Pochet et du Courval, uniting heritage glassmaking with evocative symbolism to create a vessel that was as striking and dignified as the fragrance it carried.
