Mitsouko is a perfume created in 1919 by Jacques Guerlain in France just after the end of WWI. This small flask has a leather case that used to have a strap that was supposed to cover the bottle's top and fit into the loop on the front, but the leather strap part has disintegrated over time. My two great aunts were nurses in France during World War I, and most likely stayed in Europe so were able to purchase the perfume and bring it back to the United States. So this bottle is easily 100+ years old. Parts of the black leather case (lined in red) appear to be snakeskin. The leather case inside says, "Case made in France. Guerlain Paris." Label on bottle says, Mitsouko Guerlain Paris. You can smell the fragrance by removing the cap. $50.00
