Narcisse Noir |
| Description: |
This incredible perfume was designed by Ernest Daltroff, who was co-proprietor with Felicie Vanpouille of Caron Paris. Before 1920s, manufacturers used the same bottles. But Caron wanted to create a bottle unique for this wonderful new perfume, so Vanpouille designed a bottle that would stand out from all the rest of the perfumes on the market. This perfume was such a raging success that not only did other pefumers copy the fragrance but they copied the bottle, as well. Caron immediately began to patent their bottles, and other companies followed suit. Caron was in the courts for years about copyright infringement on their designs.
Caron was founded in 1903 by Ernest Daltroff. Fascinated by scent, he purchased a perfumery in Asinieres, near Paris, France. He also bought out a shop owned by Anna-Marie Caron and kept the name, thinking that it would sound better for the business
.
In 1904, Daltroff met a young dressmaker, Felicie Vanpouille. She became his lover and an active business partner, taking over the design and packaging of the Caron products. 1939 brought the threat of war and Daltroff, a Jew, left Paris for Canada.
After Daltroff's death in 1941, Vanpouille became the sole owner of Caron.
The fragrance was a blend of Orange blossom, bergamot, petitgrain, lemon, rose, jasmine, jonquil, Persian black narcissus, musk, civet, and sandalwood. And I have to say it is the best scent I have ever smelled. This is such a beauty, I hate to part with it.
It stands about 1 3/4" tall and has no damage. The bottle is glass and the stopper is black glass with a flower on top. There is a string holding the stopper on the bottle, it is also in excellent condition and I believe may be original. The stopper is clean and the bottle is about 3/4 full. Someone took good care of this one, great addition to your collection! |

|
| Description: |
Great collector's item. A book that opens (it has a green satin ribbon that ties and holds together) and inside is a book "Scents of Time" Perfume from Ancient Egypt and the 21st Century. This book reveals perfume's widespread and permanent place in our culture of the senses, through illustrations, artefacts and paintings dating from 2000 BCE.
The reader is guided through the ages through the bronze vessels of Babylon, kohl containers from Egypt, blown-glass amphorae from ancient Rome and the Islamic world,
porcelain pot-pourris from the court of Louis XV of France, to the glass creations of Lalique in the 20th century.
It also contains 8 bottles of perfume blended by the perfumers of Givaudan Roure. There is Frankincense, representing Egypt and the ancient near east, Rose, the favorite scent of the classical world, Sandlewood-Jasmine, a blend reflective of Islamic world and India, Orange Blossom, which originated in East Asia, Spice, a blend of aromatics emblematic of the Renaissance, Eau de Cologne, a refreshing fragrance first used in eighteenth-century Europe, Millefleurs, a floral blend with twentieth century aldehydic chemistry and Sportif, a fresh, citrus fragrance anticipating trends of the twenty first century.
The book is 112 pages from fragrance historian Edwin Morris.
The perfumes are pure extracts and smell wonderful. |

Narcissus Perfume Bottle |
| Description: |
This is a very cool bottle. It has its label around the neck stating it is Narcissus and the one on the back says Vivienne, Reg. Pat. Pending, New York Paris. It has enamelled flowers on the front side, and the foil label with the name of the perfume on the back side. Has a blue stopper, that I don't know if is original or not. The size makes sense to the size of the bottle but the cork has been replaced and so it is not possible to authenticate if the blue colored stopper was part of he original design of the bottle. Sure looks great with the blue stopper. I don't recall seeing another blue stopper like this on any bottle. So the stopper alone is cool, and then the bottle is so unique. Great display piece as it pops out at you in a group of bottles. Real eyecatcher! Can't find any information about this company.
I can date the bottle by the fact that it has an applied bottom from a 3 part mold, which was just coming into fashion from 1929 on. Probably also has an applied neck, which would make it a 4 part mold. |

Beautiful art nouveau bottle and box in excellent condition. Bottle stopper is stuck and I have never tried to open it, although I have often thought about it. Dabrooks was a very successful perfume company in the early 1900s. No indication of size but I would guess 1.5 oz and there is more than half the perfume remaining. |

Joy 1/2 oz Sealed Parfum with 2 boxes. |
| Description: |
Created in 1930, Joy is the ultimate of perfumes. Intense and luscious with alluring floral composition, Joy was created by Henri Alméras, who made its top notes irresistibly delightful. The composition starts with a fragrant jilt of tuberose, luscious rose, ylang-ylang blossom, aldehydes, sweet and mouthwatering pear, and green notes. The heart beats passionately in pure and sweetly fresh jasmine notes, seductive and balmy spicy and darkened iris root. The drydown is sensual musk, warm and milky-powdery sandalwood, with mild musky civet tones.
Great bottle for gift giving. Full bottle with barely any evaporation. Boxes are pristine. |

African Leather Box |
| Description: |
This is an usual item to find. I collect Egyptian artifacts and bottles. This is a rare item to find. Beautiful colors. The bottom is stamped "Zariffa" with a Giraffe. I have seen one other box like this for sale in England, and that box was identical except Benghazi was stamped on the front of their box. I would say this was made between 1890 to 1920 or so. There is minor rust on the clasp on the front. No rips or defect on the interior of the box. I bought this 8 years ago and it had two bottles of perfume oil in it. I don't know where I put the bottles, so this listing is for the box only. Great item to store your Egyptian perfume oils in.
Size is 7.5" x 4.5" x 2.5". |

| Description: |
1 oz Spray Eau de Parfum. Still in cellophane. It may have been opened before as there is a piece of tape on the top holding the flaps down. I haven't opened it.
This must have been a pre-release bottle, as it has a date on the bottom of 1991. According to sources on the web, Sublime was released late in 1992. Also the size of this bottle is different from others you will find, that are 1.7 oz. This is a 1 oz bottle. I have owned it for 10 years. I have another one exactly like this bottle, that I opened, and the bottle has a gold cap. It is a lovely perfume. |

I got this bottle early in my collecting and it was full. I have used half of the fragrance and I can guarantee it to be very wearable, even though it is from 1950, it is still in great condition. There is exactly two ounces left of this very rare perfume. See the ad from 1951. This is very rare, while you will find some Toujours Moi, Toujours Toi is not found easily. It is not even listed as one of their perfumes in lists of Corday perfumes. |
