ID 1168 Raphael Replique 1 oz Parfum Click on each photo for larger view of it I opened this bottle and used it to sell decants. Hence why the label is stained. This is one of my favorite perfumes and I always recommend it to people looking for great vintage chypre perfumes. available Price: $ 35

ID 1137 Raphael Replique 2 oz Parfum sealed with box Click on each photo for larger view of it This is a sealed bottle in near pristine condition. Small amount of evaporation. available Price: $ 165

ID 280 Raphael 1940s Replique 1 oz in presentation box Click on each photo for larger view of it This is a classic chypre not to be overlooked. The scent is spicy and creamy, nutty resiny, almost pine-ish and very smooth. The clary sage and coriander are perfectly blended here and give the perfume a mild herbal aspect, like a finely milled French soap... the orris and moss cushion the ylang ylang... the amber and civet and musk... the vanilla...leather... yes, it's all there. Truly one of the best chypres ever made. And this is a real treasure to find. There is some small stains inside box from evaporation, but bottle is still sealed. available Price: $ 90

ID 655 Renaud Orchid Boxed sample bottle Click on each photo for larger view of it This is from the early 20th century, I would say 1920s era. No perfume in vial. But is is in excellent condition. Box has lots of wear on the outside but the inside is in excellent condition. available Price: $ 40

ID 1421 Revillion Carnet de Bal 1 oz Parfum Click on each photo for larger view of it This is the oldest bottle of Carnet de Bal I have ever seen, and it is unopened. Box is the original design from the 1940s. Box shows its age on the top and has some staining on the inside top. Carnet de Bal is a classic fragrance that was created by Maurice Shaller in 1937. It opens with citrus and fruit notes along with chamomile. The heart is floral with rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, lily and cyclamen, laid on a base of patchouli, oak moss, amber, vanilla and musk. available Price: $ 75

ID 1439 Richard Hudnut Gemey 1/4 oz Perfume Click on each photo for larger view of it I would date this to 1930s to 1940s. Still has original perfume. Has a brass over cap with a bakelite screw top. available Price: $ 12

ID 403 Richard Hudnut Gemey 2 oz perfume Click on each photo for larger view of it This is from the 1930-40 era with a metal cap. The top of label is worn off but I think it may have said toilet water. This is from a collection of unused bottles that had been rubbing against each other for 65+ years, so this may not have been used, as many of the others still have seals. The perfume inside is in excellent condition, although the water and alcohol have almost all evaporated. What is left is very pleasant and wearable, so I am just calling this perfume. There is more than 1/3 left, I would guess about 20 ml. available Price: $ 30
