ID 1345 Lamballe Source Bleue 1 oz sealed Parfum Click on each photo for larger view of it Beautiful bottle, still sealed with onion skin and cording. This is an amazing perfume. A must have.

ID 1422 Lancaster Mademoiselle 1/2 oz Parfum in box Click on each photo for larger view of it Mademoiselle de Paris is a perfume by Lancaster for women and was released in 1957. The scent is gourmand-oriental. Bottle is still sealed. Sold in Monte Carlo. available Price: $ 70

ID 1406 Lanvin Arpege 1 1/2 oz Parfum in box Click on each photo for larger view of it Still sealed with box. There is a remnant of a sticker on the bottom which I will probably remove before shipping. Small wear to box from storage and a small amount of evaporation. I would date this to 1950-60s due to the all black glass stopper. Arpege is an aldehyde perfume similar to Chanel No 5, with a hefty dose of sandalwood, but with a certain lightness and clarity on first application. It is rich and classy, the scent of a real woman -- a woman who has known the full tonic range of emotions from despair to euphoria -- mature in the drydown yet breezy enough for day or summer. Tenacious too. available Price: $ 80
