Perfume & Vanity items from the 1800s to 2000

ID 432 Fern Perfume Company Poppy Love NIB Solid perfume Click on each photo for larger view of it I have cherished this little box with the cute tie and the solid perfume container inside. I get great enjoy opening it and smelling it occasionally. One of a kind item! Never been used and a truly unique scent. Wonderful! I would date this to 1920-40s era. I believe the container to be ebony or bakelite. Pristine condition. available Price: $ 35 Contact Deb

ID 1396 Forlane Chant des Iles 1 oz Parfum with boxes Click on each photo for larger view of it The house of Forlane was established by Hélène Dale of Paris, France and this was their first release in 1940, along with Bois de Îles. Many perfume houses in Paris had to close during WWII and this is one that closed, so this is a very rare find. Both the inner and outer boxes are included. The name Chant des Iles translates from French to Song of the Islands. available Price: $ 120 Contact Deb

ID 1393 Fragonard ? 2 oz EDT Click on each photo for larger view of it This is a perfume created by Fragonard in a pear shaped bottle. This bottle was also used by Caron in 1954. It stands 4 1/4" tall. Caron used a different stopper. I bought this as a Caron from a seller in France, but I learned recently about the stopper difference. See the two reference photos below showing the different bottles and their stoppers. available Price: $ 90 Contact Deb

ID 1268 Fragonard Xmas E 1/2 oz Parfum Click on each photo for larger view of it I would guess this is a 1930-40s bottle because of the flaws and bubbles in the glass. I don't know how wonderful it smells as the stopper is stuck and I never tried to open it. I imagine it is very nice. Bottle is 3 1/2" tall. available Price: $ 45 Contact Deb

ID 938 Fragonard Parfum Sampler Set 10 x 2ml bottles Click on each photo for larger view of it Fragonard is one of my all time favorite perfume houses. Set includes Etoile Du Sud, Murmure, Fragonard, Reve Indien, Melodie, Emile, Dahlia, Lune de Miel, Eau Fantasque and Arielle. This box has a small area on the side of the box where the box had been taped and when the tape was removed a 1/2" long area of the orange paper was removed. And the Arielle and Murmure bottle labels have light smudges from handling. All bottles are full and unused. Great way to sample some of the best perfumes from one of the oldest perfume houses still in business. Great price! Compare to sets on ebay selling for twice as much. available Price: $ 60 Contact Deb

ID 1407 Guerlain Parure 1/4 oz Parfum NIB Click on each photo for larger view of it This box is still sealed with cellophane. There is no bar code on the box which indicates it is pre-1989. It is the old black and white zig zag box, which was discontinued in the 1980s. The bottle inside is the quadrilobe design. Parure by Guerlain is a Chypre Fruity fragrance for women. Parure was launched in 1975. The nose behind this fragrance was Jean-Paul Guerlain, which he created for his mother. It was discontinued due to Jean-Paul refusing to reformulate it without oakmoss.
