Vintage Perfume & Vanity items from 1900 to 1990s |
Lucien Lelong
N
1/2 oz Parfum with box
-
This is a light, spicy, aldehydic floral perfume for women with chypre notes of dry woods and peppered with dry spices.
Lucien Lelong's 'N' perfume was a tribute to his second wife, Natalie Paley, first cousin to Nicholas II, the last Romanov tzar of Russia.
It was first released in 1928. I would date this bottle to the 1950s. Bottle is still sealed and box is in excellent condition with a minor stain on bottom of box that might be cleaned, as it looks like the remanent of a price sticker.

Max Factor
Golden Woods
1/2 Oz Bath Perfume with box
-
Bottle is 3/4 full of a delicious perfume from 1963 that can be used also in the bath. The scent is a powdery-floral that opens with aldehydes and quickly softens into a rich powdery amber scent that smells like bath powder and piles of fallen leaves. It gradually adds spices into the scene bringing comparisons to Coco or Toujours Moi or a softened Black Cashmere or Opium.

Molinard
Concreta Set of 3
-
This beautiful set from the 1940s is still sealed with a cellophane wrap, so I can't say for sure what scents these are. But I am almost positive the middle jar is Mimosa and I believe Habanita is usually in a black or red jar so I believe one is Habanita. Obsiously, these have never been used.
Concreta is a waxy perfume that is actually a by product of making perfumes and was the original way perfumes were worn. Ancient Egyptians wore concreta on top of their heads and the heat from the sun emanated the scent.

Molinard
Coffret of Parfums
5 1 oz bottles of Parfum
-
These are 5 single flore parfums, consisting of 1 Jasmin, 1 Rose, 1 Violette and 2 Muguets. All bottles are sealed and mostly full. The Jasmin has experienced some evaporation.
These sealed vintage bottles sell individually, between $180 - $250. The Jasmin, Rose and Violette are extremely rare to find still sealed.
Molinard, a perfume house founded in 1849, is one of France's oldest family companies in Grasse, the international center of perfume. They are renowned for their quality and in their perfumes increasing in value.
I purchased this coffret in 2015 from an estate sale in Paris, France. The previous owner was a long time employee of Molinard. I doubt you will ever find another like this for sale. Box is in perfect condition with no stains and no damage.
