Dodge & Olcott Day & Night Click on each photo for larger view of it Duo perfume set in black and gold bottles. 1940s-50, full of perfume and nice smelling. Nice labels in excellent condition. Sturdy, hinged box has some wear and tear, some staining, but in fair condition. There is a book out about this fascinating company and its long history in perfume and extract creation. The original enterprise began in 1798 by Robert Bach, an importer of drugs and chemicals, who had a apothecary shop at 128 Pearl Street in New York. George M. Olcott was hired by Dodge & Covill, importers of cosmetics, essential oils, chemicals and drugs in 1857. In 1862, John Covill retired and Olcott was taken into the partnership and the firm's name was modified to reflect his new role. Dodge & Olcott continued to merge with other companies through the years. In 1952 it was bought by Fritzsche Brothers. In 1963 the combined company was renamed Fritzche, Dodge & Olcott. In 1980, Fritzche, Dodge & Olcott was acquired by the chemical giant, BASF. In 1990 it was acquired by Givaudan. Since this set only states Dodge & Olcott, it is pre 1952. sold

Lalique by Lalique 1993 Limited Edition Click on each photo for larger view of it This is where it all started...the VERY FIRST annual limited-edition perfume bottle design, which started Lalique's tradition of following annual releases of other limited-edition perfume bottles like Les Muses, Sirènes, Sylphide, Les Elfes, etc. This is the original crystal flacon designed by Lalique in 1993 in celebration of the launch of their first women's fragrance, Lalique of Lalique. This bottle is not a reproduction of a previous design but was designed in 1993 by Lalique. This distinctive flacon is a striking combination of clear and satin-finished crystal. A frosted trellis of winding hand-sculpted honeysuckle leaves surrounds a clear center, which holds the amber colored fragrance. Crowning the flacon is a fan shaped stopper. The bottle is a 2.5 oz and is 4 1/2" tall. The atomizer has never been removed from the box and is a gold color with a long tassel. A lovely bottle and the perfume is wonderful. This bottle has been stored and there has been alittle bit of a leak, and I decanted a small amount of the perfume for my scent library. The leak is not noticeable in the box as the perfume settled into the shape of the bottle. It has a plastic sleeve that goes around the outside of the box, so the box is in pristine condition. sold

Jean Patou Sublime NIB Eau de Parfum 30 ml Click on each photo for larger view of it 1 oz Spray Eau de Parfum. Still in cellophane. It may have been opened before as there is a piece of tape on the top holding the flaps down. I haven't opened it. This must have been a pre-release bottle, as it has a date on the bottom of 1991. According to sources on the web, Sublime was released late in 1992. Also the size of this bottle is different from others you will find, that are 1.7 oz. This is a 1 oz bottle. I have owned it for 10 years. I have another one exactly like this bottle, that I opened, and the bottle has a gold cap. It is a lovely perfume. sold

Caron Fleurs de Rocaille - FIRST EDITION Baccarat Click on each photo for larger view of it This is the first edition of Caron's "Fleurs de Rocaille" designed by Baccarat (#50). Good condition, no chips or cracks. There is some perfume discoloration inside the box, and the box shows wear from age. This is 2 oz. size bottle that contains only half of the original perfume which still smells wonderful. There is the original ribbon and wire around neck. sold

Dabrooks Parisian Roses 1900s perfume bottle in box Click on each photo for larger view of it Beautiful art nouveau bottle and box in excellent condition. Bottle stopper is stuck and I have never tried to open it, although I have often thought about it. Dabrooks was a very successful perfume company in the early 1900s. No indication of size but I would guess 1.5 oz and there is more than half the perfume remaining. sold
