Vintage Perfume & Vanity items from 1900 to 1990s

Guerlain Rue de la Paix c1920s Goutte Flacon Click on each photo for larger view of it This is a very early Eau de Toilette flacon that was first used in 1923, made by Pochet et du Courval. It has natural aged patina on the stopper that is quite beautiful, and there is also the tax stamp on the bottom of the bottle, in great condition. There are bubbles in the glass, and some perfume residue left in bottle. Stopper is on tight. Don't be confused by the many similar bottles that are out there. This bottle has a wide lip on the neck and the body shape is slightly different. This identifies it as made in the early 20s. Guerlain used the Goutte bottle up until 2001. This bottle was also made by different manufacturers over the years, but it was created as the standard Eau de Toilette presentation. The frosted glass stopper is made of two cockle shells, the label depicts two dolphins known as Etiquette Dauphin. This bottle held over 30 different perfumes. Rue de la Paix was once an important street of Parisian fashion and fashionable society, before it moved further to avenue Montaigne - Champs Elysées area. The Guerlain perfume (named after their shop located in the now so famous jewellers street) wanted to capture that atmosphere of fashion, style and good taste as it was perceived in the Belle Époque Era. Rue de la Paix is a very sweet jasmin-rose perfume with a amber base. Rue de la Paix is exactly what good taste was supposed to be in that time. Harmony, a bit of everything, not too much flowers, not too much amber, not too sweet. If you compare Rue de la Paix with L'Heure Bleue or Shalimar - those are different worlds and an example of how tastes changed. Bottle stands 6.5" tall and can hold 8.4 oz of perfume. sold

Vivienne Narcissus Perfume Bottle 1930s French bottle Click on each photo for larger view of it 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. sold

Customer Comments Guerlain Chant D'Aromes Click on each photo for larger view of it Oh my gosh! Got the CdA bottle today and it is beyond gorgeous!! I am just sitting here admiring it. I will keep checking your website, but for now i am going to have to save up some more money before i buy another bottle... Thanks so much- I am so happy with this bottle. And the Coty bottles are beautiful, too. I can't get over how pristine the boxes are... people were really careful with their belongings in the past, weren't they? Everything now is so disposable...
