Perfume & Vanity items from the 1800s to 2000

ID 710 Caron Fleurs de Rocaille .633 oz Parfum in box Click on each photo for larger view of it Bottle is still sealed and comes in its original box. I would date this to the 1930s. Has the original hang tag on the neck. Box is stained and aged. Great find. I imagine the perfume to be divine! Fleurs de Rocaille was released in 1933, and the nose was Ernest Daltroff. Same nose that created Narcisse Noir. available Price: $ 50

ID 884 Caron Nuit de Noel 2 oz Cologne Spray in box Click on each photo for larger view of it This smells heavenly. This is from the 1960s. I occasionally use this as it is wonderful to wear. I have just updated the photo to reflect the current volume of perfume remaining. available Price: $ 70

ID 1414 Chaqueneau III 1/4 oz Parfum Click on each photo for larger view of it This is an interesting perfume from the 1940s, and is in remarkable condition for its age. Mrs. Julien Chaqueneau of New York Society was associated with the Rockefellas and the Wanamakers and others in the high society of Park Ave. She was also a close friend of Gloria Vanderbilt. The Wanamakers were the founders of the first department store in New York City. I imagine this might be where this was first sold. The Chaqueneaus were also the owners of a resort in New York and this could have been sold there as a souvenir. Box is a slide out box. available Price: $ 70

ID 1351 Charbert Breathless 1 oz Parfum Click on each photo for larger view of it I am very fond of the Charbert perfumes and Breathless is one of my favorites. Charbert bottles are all done in the design of a marching drum. Breathless was first released in 1933. I would estimate there to be about 1/3 oz to 1/4 oz of amazingly condensed and beautiful oriental perfume. Spicy, a base of vetiver, tonka bean, patchouli, musk, amber, and balsam. The top notes are gone but the rich orange and bergamot notes have mellowed to a have a warm, carnation feel. Just a wonderful wearable perfume. I would date this bottle to the 1950-60 range. Has a silver foil label on the bottom of bottle, and a nice glass stopper. available Price: $ 50

ID 1353 Charbert Breathless 1/2 oz Parfum Click on each photo for larger view of it Beautiful bottle and magnificent perfume. All glass stopper. No damage. available Price: $ 50

ID 1384 Charbert Fabulous 1/2 oz Parfum with box Click on each photo for larger view of it Released in 1945, this is another of my favorite perfumes. But I have never smelled a Charbert perfume I didn't love. What does it smell like? I smell muguet, violet, amber and carnation. While I have many bottles of Breathless, this is my only bottle of Fabulous. It's really very nice and must be rare as I use to buy all Charberts I could find. About 1/2 of the perfume remains. Box is in less than pristine shape with some stains on the outside. available Price: $ 80

ID 1415 Chypka Paris Ambre 1 oz Parfum Click on each photo for larger view of it I imported this from France back in 2012 and the bottle was full and unused. I have sold decants out of it. Very nice Amber perfume. Labels are beautiful. Box is in fair condition with some damage to the bottom. I would say this is from the 1930s-1940s era. Has a Bakelite top and a plastic plug in bottle preventing evaporation. available Price: $ 50

ID 568 Ciro Originals Collection Collection of 5 parfums Click on each photo for larger view of it Set includes Danger, Reflexions, Surrender, Richochet, and New Horizons. Set is in excellent condition. Never been used, bottles have plugs, but there has been evaporation. This set is from the 1940s. available Price: $ 60
