1 oz Parfum
I am very fond of the Charbert perfumes and Breathless is one of my favorites. Charbert bottles are all done in the design of a marching drum. Breathless was first released in 1933.
I would estimate there to be about 1/3 oz to 1/4 oz of amazingly condensed and beautiful oriental perfume. Spicy, a base of vetiver, tonka bean, patchouli, musk, amber, and balsam. The top notes are gone but the rich orange and bergamot notes have mellowed to a have a warm, carnation feel. Just a wonderful wearable perfume.
I would date this bottle to the 1950-60 range. Has a silver foil label on the bottom of bottle, and a nice glass stopper.

1/2 oz Parfum with box
Released in 1945, this is another of my favorite perfumes. But I have never smelled a Charbert perfume I didn't love. What does it smell like? I smell muguet, violet, amber and carnation.
While I have many bottles of Breathless, this is my only bottle of Fabulous. It's really very nice and must be rare as I use to buy all Charberts I could find. About 1/2 of the perfume remains. Box is in less than pristine shape with some stains on the outside.
