2 oz perfume |
| Description: |
This is from the 1930-40 era with a metal cap. The top of label is worn off but I think it may have said toilet water. This is from a collection of unused bottles that had been rubbing against each other for 65+ years, so this may not have been used, as many of the others still have seals. The perfume inside is in excellent condition, although the water and alcohol have almost all evaporated. What is left is very pleasant and wearable, so I am just calling this perfume. There is more than 1/3 left, I would guess about 20 ml. |

1/2 oz Bath Perfume with box |
| Description: |
Here is another unused Faberge bath perfume from the 1960s. Tigress is spicy and delicious.
I have many bottles of the three famous Faberge perfumes in different size bottles and concentrations. I am a huge fan of 1960s Faberge perfumes, including Woodhue, Flambeau and Tigress. |

Quelques Fleurs |
|
1 oz Parfum with box |
| Description: |
Quelques Fleurs was first released in 1912 and was praised as being a modern fragrance. The nose behind this fragrance was Robert Bienaime. It is classified as a floral fragrance for women. It's dominant notes are lilac, rose, jasmine, violet, and orchid.
Top notes: aldehydes, violet leaves, bergamot, orange blossom, hyacinth, orchid, honey, tarragon, green note, lemon

Set of 3 1 oz Parfums with box |
| Description: |
This was a 2007 Limited Edition of only 1000 sets. All bottles are still sealed, and the leather box is perfect. I purchased this in 2014 and at that time it was possible to still find photos of the set on the internet. Not now. I only found one website that even mentioned this limited edition set. It is extremely rare and would make an outstanding gift for anyone who loves oriental perfumes or is a Annick Goutal fan.
The first bottle marked as A is Ambre Fétiche, and a composition of incense, labdanum, and styrax, the aroma is relayed by sweet scents of benzoin and is punctuated with touches of iris. Vanilla and Russian leather are the base.
The second bottle is marked with a M and the scent is Myrrhe Ardente. Composed of benzoin and vanilla tonka bean, this fragrance combines with swirls of guaiac wood and beeswax.
The third bottle is marked with an E and is Encens Flamboyant. To reveal its spiciness, the essence of incense is introduced by black pepper and pink berries. Frankincense resinoid joins the composition, full of cardamom and nutmeg. Finally, this incense perfume brings the last note by the scent of fir balsam and mastic.
The beautiful white leather box can be converted into a jewelry box. Included is a booklet on the perfumes.
This is the only release of these three perfumes in the Parfum concentration. All other bottles are EDP. |

5 ml of L'Elephant and Tigre EDP |
| Description: |
Kenzo Jungle was my go to perfume for many years. My sister loved Tigre. Both are spicy amber perfumes but I preferred Jungle.
Kenzo Jungle L'Elephant was launched in 1996 and Tiger was launched in 1997. The nose behind these fragrances was Dominique Ropion.
Top notes of L'Elephant are Cloves, Cumin and Mandarin Orange
Middle notes are Cardamom, Caraway, Licorice, Mango, Ylang-Ylang, Heliotrope and Gardenia
Base notes are Vanilla, Amber and Patchouli.
The notes of Tigre are as following
Top notes are Kumquat, Tangerine and Orange
Middle notes are Osmanthus and Ylang-Ylang
Base notes are Cinnamon and Amber.
This set is unused and would make a wonderful gift for anyone who loves spicy perfumes.
Both have been discontinued. I bought this set new in 2002. There is a small amount of damage to the top of box from another perfume while in storage.
Dominique Ropion was also the nose behind my absolute favorite perfume to wear for the last 16 years, Frederick Malle Carnal Flower. |

5 1 oz bottles of Parfum |
| Description: |
These are 5 single flore parfums, consisting of 1 Jasmin, 1 Rose, 1 Violette and 2 Muguets. All bottles are sealed and mostly full. The Jasmin has experienced some evaporation.
These sealed vintage bottles sell individually, between $180 - $250. The Jasmin, Rose and Violette are extremely rare to find still sealed.
Molinard, a perfume house founded in 1849, is one of France's oldest family companies in Grasse, the international center of perfume. They are renowned for their quality and in their perfumes increasing in value.
I purchased this coffret in 2015 from an estate sale in Paris, France. The previous owner was a long time employee of Molinard. I doubt you will ever find another like this for sale. Box is in perfect condition with no stains and no damage. |

10 3.75ml Bath Oil bottles in Counter Display |
| Description: |
This is a set sold to retailers and includes the marketing materials for selling them. Total volume of perfume is 1 1/2oz. Includes the outer sleeve that protects the set. This perfume oil can be used in the bath or applied directly to skin to wear as perfume. I would guess that this is from the 1950s. |

Arpege |
|
1 1/2 oz Parfum in box |
| Description: |
Still sealed with box. There is a remnant of a sticker on the bottom which I will probably remove before shipping. Small wear to box from storage and a small amount of evaporation. I would date this to 1950-60s due to the all black glass stopper.
Arpege is an aldehyde perfume similar to Chanel No 5, with a hefty dose of sandalwood, but with a certain lightness and clarity on first application. It is rich and classy, the scent of a real woman -- a woman who has known the full tonic range of emotions from despair to euphoria -- mature in the drydown yet breezy enough for day or summer. Tenacious too. |

1/4 oz Parfum NIB |
| Description: |
This box is still sealed with cellophane. There is no bar code on the box which indicates it is pre-1989. It is the old black and white zig zag box, which was discontinued in the 1980s.
The bottle inside is the quadrilobe design.
Parure by Guerlain is a Chypre Fruity fragrance for women. Parure was launched in 1975. The nose behind this fragrance was Jean-Paul Guerlain, which he created for his mother. It was discontinued due to Jean-Paul refusing to reformulate it without oakmoss.
Top notes are Plum, Green Notes, Bergamot, Fruity Notes and Citruses
Middle notes are Rose, Narcissus, Orris Root, Lilac, Lily-of-the-Valley and Jasmine
Base notes are Oakmoss, Leather, Spices, Patchouli and Amber.
Parure is a wonder and a chypre for the die-hard chypre lover. Extremely rare to find a bottle any longer. |

1/4 oz Parfum |
| Description: |
The bottle measure 1 3/4" in height. There is no label on the bottle or box as to which perfume this is. The clear bottle was used for more than 7 scents. But the blue box was used for Duchess of York, so perhaps that is what perfume is inside. It is an adorable bottle. |

1/8 oz Perfume |
| Description: |
Unused and still in original packaging. So cute. Some scratches to outer packaging. This is different than Toujours Toi.
It was a favorite I mine for awhile when I first started collecting perfume. Ahh. Incense on aldehyde powder. If you like Shalimar you will love Corday Toujours Moi. This is the perfect size to sample a classic perfume before spending the money for a full bottle. |
