Perfume & Vanity items from the 1800s to 2000

ID 978 Jean Patou Joy 1/4 oz Parfum NIB Click on each photo for larger view of it Still sealed. This is from the year 1929 as evidenced by the lack of a control number on the card inside the box. First production run. Also notice the shoulders of the bottle are more square than bottles just a couple of years later. They changed the shape of the bottle slightly. It is in amazing condition. Foil label is in great condition. String still attached to bottle with onion skin underneath it. Bottle feels full and barely any evaporation. Tiny wear to the box, box is in wonderful condition. This is the French formula and not made in US. Made in France. This is about as good as you will ever find. Best formula. Best year. Best bottle. available Price: $ 120 Contact Deb

ID 387 Jean Patou Joy 1 oz Parfum NIB 1970s Sealed in cellophane Click on each photo for larger view of it Factory sealed Joy Parfum by Jean Patou. 30 ml of the most beautiful perfume ever made. Great bargain for a sealed bottle and box. Cellophane still sealed. Box has a couple of bumps on the outside, not enough to affect the interior box, and a tear in the cellophane across the backside. Sells new for $389+ so this is a great deal for a sealed bottle with just small damage to the outer box. available Price: $ 250 Contact Deb

ID 433 John Aylmer Pikake Perfume Sealed 1 oz in box Click on each photo for larger view of it Beautiful presentation with a fabricated Hawaiian lei around the bottle and some kind of reed tie sealing the bottle. Label, box and bottle are in pristine condtion. This has a label on the box that shows this was made when Hawaii was just a Territory of the US, which dates it after 1897 and before 1957. My guess is 1940s. Bottle is 1 oz and has slight evaporation. Faint scent around neck in fantastic condition. I love Pikake as it reminds me of Hawaii, where my husband and I honeymooned. available Price: $ 70 Contact Deb

ID 341 Jovan Jovanimal Musk Oil 1/6 oz Musk Oil Click on each photo for larger view of it This cute stuffed animal by Jovan was in production from 1986 to 1992. A very rare find to still have its Musk Oil. There is a small dent on the top of the bottle. Almost full, just a small amount may have been used. Bear is showing some age, due to being 20 years old. available Price: $ 65 Contact Deb

ID 717 Keiko Mecheri Osmanthus 2.5 oz Eau de Parfum Spray Click on each photo for larger view of it This beautiful perfume is a unisex scent from one of the most prolific Niche perfume houses. It is marketed to women, but it really would work wonderfully on a sharp dressed man. It is a soft, lovely fragrance with notes of apricot, plum, golden Japanese osmanthus, tuberose, green notes and white datura. Bottle comes in the original box and it is approximately 65% full. This is in their first bottle design. I bought this new, the year it was released, which was 2005. available Price: $ 100 Contact Deb

ID 921 Keiko Mecherie Album des Parfums 20 Sample Set of Parfums Click on each photo for larger view of it Includes 20 samples of Keiko Mecherie parfums. Wonderful perfume house. Set includes their most famous scent Loukhoum, one of my all time favorites. Keiko Mecherie. I have had this set for 21 years. I sprayed each once, but there has been some evaporation over the years. There is still plenty to sample each a few times. Set includes test strips and a booklet on Keiko Mecherie perfumes. available Price: $ 75 Contact Deb

ID 1412 Lalique Lalique 2 1/2 oz EDP Click on each photo for larger view of it This is the original crystal flacon designed by Lalique in 1993 in celebration of the launch of their first women's fragrance, Lalique of Lalique. This bottle is not a reproduction of a previous design but was designed in 1993 by Lalique. This distinctive flacon is a striking combination of clear and satin-finished crystal. A frosted trellis of winding hand-sculpted honeysuckle leaves surrounds a clear center, which holds the amber colored fragrance. Crowning the flacon is a fan shaped stopper. The bottle is a 2.5 oz and is 4 1/2" tall with a glass stopper and plastic plug so it won't leak in transit. This soft, delicate perfume is a celebration of nature with rose, jasmine, and iris top notes; blackberries and pear at its heart; and Mysore sandalwood, bourbon vanilla, musk, and amber at its core. It's bursting with floral and fruity scents and is forever light and bright, making it wearable all year around and timeless. It smells wonderful! available Price: $ 45 Contact Deb
