Vintage Perfume & Vanity items from 1900 to 1990s

ID# 1393 Fragonard ? 2 oz EDT This is a perfume created by Fragonard in a pear shaped bottle. This bottle was also used by Caron in 1954. It stands 4 1/4" tall. Caron used a different stopper. I bought this as a Caron from a seller in France, but I learned recently about the stopper difference. See the two reference photos below showing the different bottles and their stoppers. available Price: $ 90 Item 1393 Get more details

ID# 1268 Fragonard Xmas E 1/2 oz Parfum I would guess this is a 1930-40s bottle because of the flaws and bubbles in the glass. I don't know how wonderful it smells as the stopper is stuck and I never tried to open it. I imagine it is very nice. Bottle is 3 1/2" tall. available Price: $ 45 Item 1268 Get more details

ID# 938 Fragonard Parfum Sampler Set 10 x 2ml bottles Fragonard is one of my all time favorite perfume houses. Set includes Etoile Du Sud, Murmure, Fragonard, Reve Indien, Melodie, Emile, Dahlia, Lune de Miel, Eau Fantasque and Arielle. This box has a small area on the side of the box where the box had been taped and when the tape was removed a 1/2" long area of the orange paper was removed. And the Arielle and Murmure bottle labels have light smudges from handling. All bottles are full and unused. Great way to sample some of the best perfumes from one of the oldest perfume houses still in business. Great price! Compare to sets on ebay selling for twice as much. available Price: $ 60 Item 938 Get more details

ID# 1430 Guerlain Shalimar 2 oz Parfum with box This is an opened 1950s Baccarat bottle of Shalimar with purple flocked box and is 5 7/8" x 4". Has a import stamp on bottom of bottle. available Price: $ 350 Item 1430 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
