Perfume & Vanity items from the 1800s to 2000

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 Contact Deb

ID 1426 Roger & Gallet Fleurs d’Amour 2 oz Parfum Click on each photo for larger view of it Fleurs d’Amour was launched in 1902. This is one of the earliest perfumes marketed by Roger and Gallet in America. Rogers & Gallet used Baccarat to produce the bottles for the Fleurs d’Amour. Many of the bottles made prior to 1936 were not marked or stamped Baccarat. This bottle is not marked Baccarat indicating an early production. The foil over paper label is wearing thin. It has two other labels on the bottle showing it was compounded in the USA and another indicating the volume. It is classified as a floral fragrance for women. Top notes: aldehydes, bergamot, orange, lemon, rose geranium, galbanum Middle notes: carnation, rose, jasmine, ylang ylang, lilac, lily of the valley, violet Base notes: patchouli, civet, tonka bean, oakmoss, ambergris, benzoin, opoponax, musk, sandalwood, vanilla, vetiver Bottle has about 3/4 oz of perfume remaining. available Price: $ 70 Contact Deb

ID 1411 Roger & Gallet Oeillet (Carnation) 1 oz Parfum Click on each photo for larger view of it Beautiful bottle from the early 1900s. Stopper is frozen, although I haven't tried to open it. I can only imagine how gorgeous the scent inside is. available Price: $ 80 Contact Deb

ID 1327 Rogers & Gallet Le Jade 1 oz Parfum in box Click on each photo for larger view of it Le Jade was created in 1923. I think this is from the 1930s but it could be 1920s. Just a small amount of parfum left and it is out of this world good!. I created the box to display this bottle in. Incredibly rare to find a bottle with parfum in it. It is that good. Bottle was designed by Lalique. available Price: $ 125 Contact Deb

ID 258 Rubyat Inspired by a 1920s bottle 1/2 oz New in box Click on each photo for larger view of it 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. available Price: $ 20 Contact Deb

ID 1373 Shiseido Enchanted Dance 20 ml Pure Parfum Click on each photo for larger view of it This is a replica of an art nouveau bottle designed by Lucien Gaillard and created for Brosse in 1913. Shiseido created this perfume to commemorate the company's sponsorship of the exhibition, "Dance" in the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1986. Spectacular bottle that features a dancer with her arms outstretched wearing a beautiful flowing gown. It has a beautiful frosted stopper that a photo doesn't capture its beauty. It is an absolute joy to admire. Bottle is nearly full minus some evaporation. Still has its cellophane wrapper around box. available Price: $ 260 Contact Deb
