ID 471 Parera Gong NIB Boxed Presentation Set

This is a perfume no one seems to be much aware of, but I have a nice collection of Parera perfumes, especially Gong. This is a nice 1950s set of the colognes and the soap.

Parera Perfumeria emerged from Barcelona, Spain in the early 20th century and launched a handful of perfumes, (perhaps the most controversial of which was named 'Cocaine en Flor'). In the 1930s perfumes took on new themes as travel became popular again. Parera turned to the orient for inspiration. The 1936 release GONG offered a means to "travel with the senses". The Far East seemed so much more within reach with this blend of sunny florals and exotic spices. This perfume has both oriental and chypre characteristics - a bittersweet drydown lingers on the skin just as fond memories of a holiday linger in the mind. Alas, GONG swiftly drifted from recollection, and remains a mystery - much like the Orient itself - to this day.

Great rare vintage perfume set for your collection of Oriental perfumes.

ID 258 Rubyat Inspired by a 1920s bottle 1/2 oz New in box

This is a 1/2 oz vintage bottle of Rubyat Perfume in its box. I’m not sure of its age but Rubyat perfume was first produced in 1950. I think these are from the early 60s. I have a case of these, 24 or so, that I bought a long time ago. All bottles are in their boxes, and the bottles have plastic plugs. There shouldn't be any evaporation. Rubyat is a very pleasant perfume, and the bottle is very cool to display.

ID 1428 Vigny Golliwogg 1/2 oz Parfum with box

Click on each photo for larger view of it

Golliwogg Parfum by Vigny was launched in 1919 and is the best Musk perfume I have ever smelled. And I have a collection of thousands of perfume bottles. And this is the very best Musk. This was a sealed full bottle when I bought it in 2015. I have used half the bottle and now am willing to part with the remainder. I have several more bottles. This is a gorgeous presentation. Golliwogg is a floral chypre that is warm, dark, and rich, redolent of vanilla, musk and ambergris, deepened by the vetiver, civet and styrax. The term Golliwogg began life in the late 19th century as a doll, which appeared in a number of children's books by Florence Upton. The doll is represented by black skin, eyes rimmed in white, with red lips and frizzy black hair. Golliwoggs were loved by children of all races, along with the teddy bear, up until the 1970s and were collected in the Caribbean. The bottle design was created by Michel de Brunoff and his brother-in-law Lucien Vogel (one of the founders of Vigny perfume house) - both editors of the French Vogue. Vogue France is the French edition of Vogue magazine that was created in 1920. The box is 3 1/2" tall by 2 1/2" square. It is in perfect conditon. There is no volume size on the bottle, but I would guess it is 1/2 oz size. The nose behind this fragrance was Jacque Vogel. Top notes: Aldehydes, Cloves and Bergamot Middle notes: Ylang-Ylang, Violet, Jasmine, Rose and Lily-of-the-Valley Base notes are Civet, Vanilla, Amber, Tonka Bean, Styrax, Vetiver, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Oakmoss and Musk. I will transfer the contents into a new screw top bottle to insure perfume arrives safely, and will include a pipette to transfer it back into the bottle.
