This is a small, clear glass perfume bottle. It is wide on the sides with subtle, symmetrical cuts and, from the front, is shaped like an upside-down umbrella. On the front, a brown, crest-like shape with the word [Shalimar] sits in the middle. The body has a clear glass foot as base support, also with angled cuts. The body tapers dramatically inward toward a small neck and its stopper: a fan-like shape made of blue glass with the words in cursive script [Guerlain, Paris].

A transparent, light brown molded glass bottle with irregular, jagged geometric shapes and angles, a narrow, short neck, and a flared stopper, resembling crinkled paper wrapped around an object and tied with a band near the top. The coloration of the faceted glass varies throughout, though generally lighter at the bottom and darker above the neck. The glass appears substantially weighted and bottom of the bottle is flat. Though called a 'toilet bottle,' it is intended for cologne, or eau de toilette (toilet water).
