Buying old perfume bottles on Ebay
So I bought an old bottle on ebay last week and it arrived. What a sad state it was in. But it was an unheard of, very old Houbigant bottle.
Cleaned up the bottle and reconstituted the resin left in the bottle with some perfumer's alcohol. And this is a fabulous scent. The bottle looks like it was a men's fragrance, but the scent is totally wearable by both sexes. I am so happy to have found it. You never know what you find on ebay.
I thought I would show you what magic I can do with these old perfumes. Don't mind the label in the photo of the cleaned up bottle. It is still wet from being cleaned up. It will dry in time.
