ID# 1407 Guerlain Parure 1/4 oz Parfum NIB 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. available Price: $ 150 Item 1407 Get more details

ID# 1436 Guerlain Chant d'Aromes 1 oz Parfum The batch code on the box indicates it was made in 1981, just before Guerlain reformulated all their perfumes to remove Oakmoss. This is still more than half full of the original perfume inside, and it is a beautiful, soft chypre that may be more wearable to some people, than the beautiful L'Heure Bleue. I love the spicy slap in the face of L'Heure Bleue, as I wait for the luxurious drydown of powder. But Chant D'Aromes is too beautiful to slap you, it merely bows to you, and says, follow me as we daydream together. I agree with a review I read that Chant D'Aromes is more of a 50s perfume than the rebellious, attention getters of the 60s through the 80s. I could easily see Audrey Hepburn wearing this one, with her short white gloves and poodle skirts. Very sophisticated and yet, not overly sweet or seductive. It reminds me a little like a less condensed, vintage Joy in the opening, but the drydown is closer to a softer, less spicy L'Heure Bleue. Included is the outer box for this perfume but the inner box has disappeared. available Price: $ 135 Item 1436 Get more details

ID# 1409 Guerlain Shalimar 1 2/3 oz Essence Pour Le Bain (Bath Oil) This is my favorite concentration of Shalimar. It smells amazing! Bottle is more than half full.
