Vintage Perfume & Vanity items from 1900 to 1990s

ID# 427 Guerlain Shalimar 1/2 oz Sealed Parfum Amphore Still sealed with the its plastic wrapper. Great item! Some evaporation, but that is to be expected from a bottle from the early 1960s. Made in and bottled in France as evidenced by the tax stamp on the bottom of bottle. I personally imported it. available Price: $ 125 Item 427 Get more details

ID# 1410 Guerlain Liu 1 oz Parfum with box Originally created in 1929 by Jacques Guerlain, Liu is a floral aldehydic of tasteful elegance and delicately sensual seduction. It is a wonderful, floral-powdery aldehyde fragrance that many people compare to Chanel No 5, but much more creamy. available Price: $ 350 Item 1410 Get more details

ID# 1436 Guerlain Chant d'Aromes 1 oz Parfum The batch code on the box indicates it was made in 1981, just before Guerlain reformulated all their perfumes to remove Oakmoss. This is still more than half full of the original perfume inside, and it is a beautiful, soft chypre that may be more wearable to some people, than the beautiful L'Heure Bleue. I love the spicy slap in the face of L'Heure Bleue, as I wait for the luxurious drydown of powder. But Chant D'Aromes is too beautiful to slap you, it merely bows to you, and says, follow me as we daydream together. I agree with a review I read that Chant D'Aromes is more of a 50s perfume than the rebellious, attention getters of the 60s through the 80s. I could easily see Audrey Hepburn wearing this one, with her short white gloves and poodle skirts. Very sophisticated and yet, not overly sweet or seductive. It reminds me a little like a less condensed, vintage Joy in the opening, but the drydown is closer to a softer, less spicy L'Heure Bleue. Included is the outer box for this perfume but the inner box has disappeared. available Price: $ 135 Item 1436 Get more details
