Vintage Perfume & Vanity items from 1900 to 1990s

ID# 471 Parera Gong NIB Boxed Presentation Set This is a perfume no one seems to be much aware of, but I have a nice collection of Parera perfumes, especially Gong. This is a nice 1950s set of the colognes and the soap. Parera Perfumeria emerged from Barcelona, Spain in the early 20th century and launched a handful of perfumes, (perhaps the most controversial of which was named 'Cocaine en Flor'). In the 1930s perfumes took on new themes as travel became popular again. Parera turned to the orient for inspiration. The 1936 release GONG offered a means to "travel with the senses". The Far East seemed so much more within reach with this blend of sunny florals and exotic spices. This perfume has both oriental and chypre characteristics - a bittersweet drydown lingers on the skin just as fond memories of a holiday linger in the mind. Alas, GONG swiftly drifted from recollection, and remains a mystery - much like the Orient itself - to this day. Great rare vintage perfume set for your collection of Oriental perfumes. available Price: $ 45 Item 471 Get more details

ID# 1341 Paul Boyer Pecheresse 1 oz Parfum with box From the 1940s and a sought after perfume. Box is sturdy and lined with satin and in over all great condition. Small amount of evaporation. Bottle is still sealed. There is a manufacturing flaw on the stopper and you can see it in the photos. Bottle has been boxed, so it must have been during manufacturing. available Price: $ 70 Item 1341 Get more details

ID# 1328 Paul Poiret Rosine 1 1/2 oz Parfum Extremely rare Paul Poiret Rosine perfume bottle. I think this is from the 1910s. Just a small amount of perfume remains. Just enough to wet your appetite for Rosine. Label is damaged. No damage to bottle or stopper. For the real collector. Perfume is similar to R&G Le Jade and R&G Fleurs Amour. available Price: $ 350 Item 1328 Get more details

ID# 1408 Prince Matchabelli Crown bottle with glass cross stopper 1/4 oz Parfum The bottle measure 1 3/4" in height. There is no label on the bottle or box as to which perfume this is. The clear bottle was used for more than 7 scents. But the blue box was used for Duchess of York, so perhaps that is what perfume is inside. It is an adorable bottle. available Price: $ 35 Item 1408 Get more details
