Just wanted to let you know that I gave the Vol de Nuit I bought from you a full wearing today, and it is just GORGEOUS. I've been looking for some of this for months, and I'm so happy to have it. If you ever come by another bottle from the same era or even earlier, please contact me!

Wishing you a safe and happy weekend,
Dimitri :)

Hi Deb, I just wanted to let you know that I received your package. Oh my gosh, everything is wonderful!! Opening your package was like Christmas morning. Thanks so much for all the samples as well... Especially the one you blended for me. I am excited to do business again with you sometime soon!

Also, I am wearing the Opium Parfum right now and it is just wonderful!

Coty A Suma, Caron Le Narcisse Noir & et

It took me a ½ hour to unwrap and refill everything, it must have taken you at least twice as long, everything was perfect…I LOVE the bottles will take pics soon… I LOVE the Narcisse Noir, to die for! There is also a Narcisse Blanc!

Send me some pics if you have time of the new Guerlain bottle you just bought at an auction. I am happy to be the owner of the Asuma bottle!

I received a parcel! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! I am very glad! It is very happy! I thank you for the gifts! I didn't expect so many gifts, so pleasant! I have on August 6 my birthday, so it is to me gifts!
Thanks, Deb!

I risked for the first time to get perfume from the USA and at once found the seller! I hope for further cooperation!
Once again Thanks, Deb!
Yours faithfully, Anfisa

Cherigan Fleurs de Tabac

Deb,

I swear you must have hand delivered the Cherigan Fleurs De Tabac by hand because it arrived so quickly!

I am absolutely beside myself with not only the fragrance itself, but the generous samples you supplied!! I tried the Cherigan first upon arrival and fell in love right away. Beautiful and REALLY long lasting. It was still on me this morning! I understand its "cult status" now and am so happy you were able to provide it to me!

I intend to try both the Lubin Fumee and the Havana Weed Oil over the next two days. I will let you know my thoughts for sure!

Deb, you have a customer for life in me. You have not only been kind and friendly, but you are helping to expand my knowledge and horizons regarding fragrance. I am new to this and learning everyday and you are helping me in many ways!

Hi Deb.
I am thrilled beyond belief with the Secret de Venus and the Crepe de chine. I am finding I love oils! I think this is a whole new thing for me.
I hope you are doing fine and I love my two items. Look forward to buying more from you.

Hi Deb,
Package arrived well. Some of the Gabilla and Gray perfumes left from the bottle, but it is not a real problem. Thanks for fast shipping. I will come again.

Thanks again, I'll be back soon.

Hi Deb,
The two perfumes arrived yesterday. I made good choices!
I am a collector. I am primarily interested in the beautiful classic commercial bottles from about 1900 -1960.

I do have a few of each of many other categories as well. I collect only bottles with ground glass stoppers. Right now I am especially interested in the 1900-1920's bottles that have faceted glass stoppers and beautifully designed labels, especially the ones with the embossed gold foil labels. I can't say that there are any specific bottles I am looking for right now. I will check your site frequently.

By the way - all of your materials are so beautifully designed! (Your label, your business card, the vial folder...) And thank you for the little bonus vial of your specially formulated fragrance.

Thank you for good service! I will be happy to patronize you again!

Sincerely,
Joanne

Jean Patou Sublime

Now, now, Deb--there's fast shipping, and there's Deb O'Neil's lightning fast shipping. LOL

I am so pleased with everything I received today--the Sublime, the Borsari perfume miniatures, and the Tatiana perfume. And I was completely blown away by your gift of scent samples :-) :-):-) Merci!!!

I have a growing list of perfumes that I will order from you in the near future, for sure. For example, I've got my sights on Corday Toujours Toi, Patou 1000, L'heure Bleue, just to name the top THREE on my list. My husband and I both enjoy viewing the items over and over on your website.

Thanks, and looking forward to a long and sweet-scented future. :-)

1950s Sealed Guerlain Shalimar

Hi Deb!

Just wanted to let you know that I received my Shalimar today, safe and sound! I dug the cork out almost immediately, and somehow managed to tip a couple of drops onto the table... I stared at them for about half a second before collecting them on my wrists. I've been marinating in the scent for the past half hour. Absolutely divine!!! I love the current incarnation, but am completely blown away by the vintage.

Thanks again for everything! I'll get in touch with you again when I'm ready to indulge in an extrait!

Guerlain Vol de Nuit Parfum

Hi Deb,

I just got your lovely package, thank you so much!!! Everything is in perfect condition, thank you for the care you took with the beautiful Vol de Nuit perfume. (I just sniffed it from the bottle yesterday, smells gorgeous.) And thanks for all the rest - it will take me some time to test all of this ;-)

Cheers,

Guerlain Vol de Nuit, Jean Patou Caline

Elizabeth Arden Memoire Cherie

Hi Deb,

I wanted to let you know that your box arrived at my door this morning, surprisingly fast! I just opened the box, and have been greatly enjoying all the contents inside. All arrived in perfect order, and I was impressed how you managed with the 1000 with the broken cap, as it held fine. So wanted to make sure you knew that all arrived safely. The box had a very small hole put in the side, no doubt due to one of the postal office's sharp instruments they use in processing, but thanks to how you packed, and your many layers and generous cushioning of bubble wrap none of the items including the box were impacted in any way.

The Vol de Nuit is exquisite, I keep smelling my wrist, as it is heavenly, and beyond anything similar that I've ever smelled. I am thrilled to have it, Deb, and thank you for being the one to provide it for me. I was rather agonizing over the cost, but it is an investment of a lifetime to experience something rare and wonderful like this, and I feel this vintage perfume concentration is unequaled in anything modern that could be smelled today. I can smell at times the creamiest sandalwood that I think I've ever smelled in my life and the harmony of the notes is incredible. I can see now why so many reviews suggest that if you can possibly get hold of some and can afford it, to buy the perfume extrait.

The Memoire Cherie is a beautiful dark chypre, and I know that this version especially (the bath oil concentration) is quite rare to find, and it smells very fine to me, and am very happy to have it for my collection. I love it and feel Elizabeth Arden had some really fine fragrances in her time, in spite of France being the leader in these things. If you find the Blue Grass at some point, let me know.

I love the Caline, and am really glad that I experienced it--very worth it to me to buy this charming little bottle from you at that price to get a chance to try it, as it's harder to find--again, it's amazing the difference in times and expectations to see what passed for a "young woman" fragrance in Europe at this time and what now passes with all the sweet, fruity/vanilla gourmand and bubble gum type scents! (I have to say I prefer their tastes back then!) I also of course love the 1000, and though I have smelled it previously, I have not had the chance to experience the perfume strength since childhood. This is a great perfume.

Chamade, Arpege, Chanel No 5

Hi Deb
I’m just overjoyed with my latest selection from you. The Chanel lives 100% up to my memory. This particular vintage is not nearly as animalic as my older bottle. I love it.

Thank you so much for being so thoughtful as to how you packed the Chamade. The bottle and perfume are both lovely. I’m so pleased to have it, only having the pure parfum. Now I can layer when I wish.

The Arpege is in mint condition. I haven’t opened it, having two open bottles already. Judging by the lovely color and the cleanness of the bottle, it will be a delight.

The little Coty was quite a surprise. It’s a totally different way of interpreting lily of the valley than Diorissimo, which I am actually wearing today as it happens. Once again, your lovely offerings have added to both my learning and my experience.

Thanks again and keep the goodies coming on your site.

Til the next time.

Hi Deb,

Perfume arrived on Friday and I just got to open it today, its PERFECT!! I'm so happy with my purchase. Will be recommending you and keeping an eye on your listings for future perfumes, it sounds like you have an amazing collection! Thanks so much for your help. This was actually my first delve into vintage and I'm so glad it was a good start.

Thanks so much,

1960s sealed 2 oz Parfum with box

Dear Deb,

Thank you SO MUCH for the wonderful perfume which arrived safe and sound today! It smells incredible and I am utterly delighted with this purchase and the speed and safety with which you sent it.

Please let me know of any similar bottles of Mitsouko that you have for sale. Anything that is approximately this old and in this type of condition would be wonderful.

Thank you!

Hi Deb,

The Giraud and Maiton bottles arrived yesterday, safe and sound. Thanks for packing them so well!

Thank you also for taking the time to find these bottles for me, as well as the others you found for my consideration. It is appreciated.

I will be checking in on your site more often, so I don't lose out on anything, as I did the Maderas de Oriente. Have a wonderful holiday season!

Sincerely,
Joanne

Guerlain Vol de Nuit

Hi Deb!

I have received my package today and I am extremely happy with it!! Haven't tried them all, just the Vol the Nuit for now. I want to savor every moment!! It smells so different from the current version, it's even more unique and mysterious! It puts me the greatest of moods!

Thank you so much for everything!

Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass

Dear Deb,

You came to mind today and I realized that I had not written you back the last time you wrote. I really enjoyed your letter and all you shared, so I wanted to say a belated thank you, and I hope that you had great success over Christmas with some of your rare and extra large size vintage perfume sales--also the special perfume you created sounds heavenly. Anything that smells close to Vol de Nuit floats my boat! I love the bottle I bought from you and feel fortunate to have a rare 1950's bottle of it.

I wish L'Heure Bleue were not so expensive...I feel fortunate to have your eau de toilette from the 60s which is a very nice version, as you had told me, and I got a few other bottles on Ebay. I just checked in at Ebay for the first time in a long time and plugged in "L'heure Bleue" and it never fails to amaze me how high the prices go!

Nothing much new at my end in the perfume world, but have been enjoying wearing various ones, and have worn more to work than I used to. No-one has said anything yet!

I hope that 2014 is a very good year for you, and that all is going very well with you and your family.

Warmest regards,
Karen

Molinard Habanita

Hi Deb,

The Habanita is fabulous! It contains all the notes I love. The reformulation actually compares favorably in terms of its notes, but the balance is quite different - the original is smokier and creamier, more leathery, subtler, with greater depth - the reformulation is clearly marked by synthetics that smell good, but lack dimension (especially in the dry down). This original is right up there with Zibeline for me, perhaps even supplanting it (tied with Golliwog, but in a different way). I do not find any discordant notes in the vintage Habanita, it's a perfect blend and the dry down is just heaven. I'll be buying more of this in the future.

Thank you, too, for the sample of Bandit, which I really like and find intriguing - I do agree with you, it would be a difficult scent for a woman to pull off, but it's wonderfully constructed and I'm delighted to have it.
Bonnie

Valois and Caron N'Aimez Que Moi

Got the Package!

Thanks so much, both are wonderful.

and the stopper to the Valois -- its EXACTLY like the one I have on another bottle but in yellow, I can match each petal nuance -- I have to do more digging - the other yellow stopper is allegedly from a LaMay bottle - I suspect they are both made by same company (back then lots of perfume companies did business with same stopper/bottle makers) - and you are right, it fits your bottle exactly - my LeMay bottle does not have a label, so it could have been a marriage, it fits well too but I have not had any liquid in it - yours has stood the test of time.

I will keep you posted! thanks again.

Cheers!

1960s Guerlain L'Heure Bleue

Hi Deb,

My hubby brought the package in--Thursday is my marathon babysit-my-grandson day. I'm usually gone from 6 am to about 5 pm, so I had to delay gratification.....

And was it ever worth it! Oh my gosh! I took a few pics before cutting the strings and then took the plunge. The stopper wasn't an issue at all, and I promptly doused myself. You were right. This is absolutely divine.

I must admit that plunking money down like this can be intimidating (over the internet sight unseen), but I am very, very pleased! Thank you for suggesting this bottle. It was worth every penny. I will definitely shop with you for any future vintage needs.

And thank you for the sample of Ses Fleurs. I am looking forward to trying it.

Blessings,
Susan

Weil Secret de Venus, Worth Je Reviens

Dear Deb,

I don't know how to begin to thank you for the Zibeline, Je Reviens, and beautiful decanting bottle with pipette. Oh, how those scents transport me! I so appreciate the care with which you packed everything, there was not a drop spilled and no damage of any kind. I'm in Seventh Heaven. The Patou decanting bottle is exquisite.

I think that I have found a buyer for something I'm selling, and if the sale goes through on Monday, I will be making more purchases from you. I'm particularly interested in your 1/4 oz vintage Mitsouko extract (item #1029), your vintage unopened Je Reviens 1 oz Huile de Bain (item #117), and the sealed 1 oz SDV Zibeline oil that I was originally considering buying last week (blue and white box, item #98).

Again, my thanks for everything - perfumes, decanting bottle and pipette, your sage advice and counsel about fragrance, your superb customer service.

Best wishes,
Bonnie

Caron Tabac Blond, Molinard Habanita, Guerlain L'Heure Bleue

Deb,

The package arrived today and everything was absolutely perfect. I might call you about opening the sealed bottle in a day or so if I can't do it.

Funny - I just remembered what you said about Tabac Blond being almost addictive - that is the first perfume I went rummaging through the box for and am wearing it while I enjoy a glass of wine and wait ýfor the ambition to broil a steak. My cat likes it too & is keeping my feet warm. Life is good :

F. Millot Bois Precieux

Hi Deb!

I received the F. Millot Bois Precieux this evening and the stopper came off easily with a twist. I bet that the air pressure from the plane helped loosen it. I have to tell you that the box and the bottle are so amazing! But the smell of the perfume is just "out of this world" beautiful. It has a soft woodsy and musky smell that has the most beautiful energy and several layers of scents perfectly blended.

Thank you so much!. I really wish I knew the story of who owned this perfume and why they didn't use it. I wonder what year this is from. It smells heavenly and so does the Caron perfume I got from you. I treasure them. I will wait for the sample of the Amalie scent and let you know what I think. Enjoy your weekend.

Thanks, LeeAnn

Weil Secret de Venus Zibeline Bath Oil

Hello,

Just a note to let you know that the perfume oil arrived safely today!

Many thanks, Kaye

Oh, and I would love to know whether there is any difference in Secret of Venus and Secret de Venus!! Would you please let me know whether it is just in the translation, or whether they are different at all?? Just my curiosity, and you would be one of the only people now who would know!!

All the best,
Kaye

Same perfume, just different people call it differently.

Posted on 18-Feb-2016

Hi Deb,

Thanks so much for the very careful packaging. Everything arrived in tip top shape. There are so many perfumes I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed so I think I shall wait for the weekend, when I’m less frazzled, to really check out both the bottles and their contents. Right off the bat, though, I love the L’Heure Bleue bottle - it is darling :) Thank you for helping me with the choices. I really went way over my perfume budget but I got a little carried away. You said you love perfume and I do, too, and so many of the perfumes you described seemed irresistible. I really would have loved to have them all! You must enjoy you collection very much. I’m sure you have more vintage perfumes than I’ve ever seen in my life :-)

Thank you again. I’m really looking forward to the weekend. The big question will be- what do I smell first! (Probably it will be the Coty!)

All the best,

Marian

Hi Deb

Just wanted to say a big thank you for my order which arrived today in perfect condition. The BaV had not leaked at all and the bottle, perfume and box are absolutely exquisite. I am so thrilled to have this precious item. I rescued it from the post box in 40 degree weather and put it into my cool perfume cupboard immediately. It is absolutely lovely, thank you so much.

Hi Deb,

I couldn't wait and opened my Santalia - I didn't wear it because I'll officially wear it on Mother's Day.... but just handling it - thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It smells absolutely amazing and perfect. Thank you for the care in wrapping, the pipette and the little pink bow! Thanks for parting with it and sending it to my house. I will wear it with joy and appreciation.

Thanks again - I really appreciate your help and kindness.

Melissa

and in a later email...

The Santalia Essence you sold me is probably the best thing I've smelled. Thanks again. I'm gonna wear it each Mother's day and probably my birthday too.
