Vintage Perfume & Vanity items from 1900 to 1990s

Item # 1435 Lorie Perfumers Jasmine of Southern France 1/2 oz Ultra Rare 1927 Parfum Lorie Perfumers was located in LA, CA in the 1920s and they launched fragrances and toiletries using Czechoslovakian bottles. Jasmine of Southern France perfume was first released around 1927. I usually don't recommend a jasmine perfume more than 50 years old. They turn rancid smelling. But this is truly the best smelling jasmine and I have smelled. When Chanel created Chanel No 5 in 1921 they used the best jasmine from Grasse, France. Once they started to use that jasmine, they had to continue to maintain the exact composition. And so they bought most of the jasmine produced in Grasse, leaving only jasmine from India and Greece for other perfume houses. Even today, in Grasse, there is very little production of jasmine flowers available to other perfume houses, it is reserved almost exclusively for Chanel. It is harvested by the Mul family who owns large plantations in Grasse. This perfume is undoubtedly Jasmine Grandiflorum. A type of jasmine that is so expensive no one can even afford to use it in commercial perfumes. Today, the price for a soliflor Jasmine Grandiflorum perfume would retail for at least $2,000 an oz. I am not joking here. Now you know why no one can reproduce Chanel No 5. Knock-offs have to use the lesser quality of jasmine and it is obviously not as good as what Chanel produces. available Price: $ 350 Item 1435 Get more details

Item # 1042 Jean Patou 1000 1/4 oz sealed Parfum with boxes Beautiful vintage item and wonderful perfume. I love 1000 and you will too. This is the much sought after 1/4 oz Jadeite bottle and it feels mostly full. Authenticity tag around the neck. Includes the inner clear plastic box that protects the suede box. It has a code on the side of the box that could be related to the year of production, I believe it is from the 1980s. This particular bottle was discontinued and I don't know what year they stopped making it. There is shelf wear to the cellophane still covering the outer box and minor stains on the outer white box from years of storage. available Price: $ 150 Item 1042 Get more details

Item # 1461 Bourbon French White Gardenia 1/8 oz Extract Bourbon French is one of the oldest perfume manufacturers in the USA, established in 1843. They sold extracts to other perfumers as well as create their own blends. This is a gorgeous scent that I almost used all up. I left a small amount in bottle for someone else to enjoy. This bottle is at least 50 years old. available Price: $ 8 Item 1461 Get more details

Item # 953 Houbigant Essence Rare 1/4 oz Parfum in box Rare and discontinued Houbigant Essence Rare parfum in its box. Bottle is 85% full and smells lovely. Bottle and stopper are made of glass that resemble an ice cube. Silver paper label on the top and bottom. Bottle measures 1 3/4" tall x 1 1/4" wide and is in wonderful condition, no cracks or chips. Box has some old stains on the top of the box and some wear on the corners of the box. Essence Rare was the last fragrance Robert Bienaimé created for Houbigant before he opened his own company under his own name in 1935. Essence Rare was first released in 1928 and reformulated and released again in the 1970s. If you enjoy luscious floral bouquets made more effervescent by the addition of aldehydes, you will love Essence Rare. It is a woody floral aldehyde with notes of bergamot, orange, and greens, geranium, lily of the valley, lily, May rose, and orris. on a base of bourbon, oakmoss, civet, tonka bean, vetiver, and musk. This is very hard to find & worth trying, a sort of astringent boozy Chanel No. 19. I have owned this for more than 10 years and it was full when I bought it. I have used some over the years and can verify that it is unique, beautiful and worth owning. available Price: $ 75 Item 953 Get more details

Item # 1370 Faberge Tigress Parfum 12ml Parfum with box This is a very desirable vintage perfume and even rarer bottle design. This bottle was first released in 1952. This is the original box and while very rare to find, the box is not very impressive for such a rare find. But the box is in near perfect condition. I have identified it is Tigress but the only reference to a perfume is that the box says Parfum Faberge. When sold it had a label that wrapped around the box sealing the box that had the name of the perfume on it. That label is gone. But the velvet tie holding it in the box is gold and gold was the color they used for Tigress. Other perfumes used green or red. Bottle is still sealed and attached to the box with a velvet tie. Onion skin is still sealing the bottle although the gold string has come untied. It is more than half full, so it has about a 1/4 oz of parfum. It is thick bottle with a polished bottom so I would say it is a crystal bottle. Truly a fantastic, spicy perfume that inspired other perfume house to follow with perfumes such as Opium, and Zen. To me, this captures the early 1970s. But maybe that is because this was the perfume my older sister wore at that time. Bottle is 3 1/2" tall. available Price: $ 125 Item 1370 Get more details

Item # 1440 Corday Toujours Moi 1/8 oz Perfume Unused and still in original packaging. So cute. Some scratches to outer packaging. This is different than Toujours Toi.

This is the perfect size to sample a classic perfume before spending the money for a full bottle. available Price: $ 25 Item 1440 Get more details
