Coty Vintage Perfume Lilas Pourpre. From 1914 sealed and boxed. The first of four perfumes Francoise Coty presented in 1914, despite all the horrors of the WW1 raging around the world. Lilas Pourpre, a light and delicate floral bouquet. Presented here in an extremely fine crystal bottle and an unusual slip-case style box, both designed by Renee Lalique. This bottle was known as the “Invisible” bottle, as when held up to the light, the glass seems to disappear, leaving the perfume looking as if it is suspended in mid-air. Although as you can see the box is not at all in the best shape, it has done its job of protecting its valuable contents admirably. This extremely rare pure perfume has been stored, (as are all my vintage perfumes) under optimal conditions, which accounts for the beautiful pale color it still maintains after 105 years in storage!!! I will add this though; Purchasing a still-sealed, never opened bottle, of vintage perfume that has been carefully stored in its own box, is the closest we can get to what the perfumer intended for us to experience when it was first created, and don’t forget; Francoise Coty was known as “The Emperor of Perfume”, creating some astoundingly beautiful perfumes. Once a bottle of perfume is opened it begins to deteriorate, with the top notes being the first to go. I have had the pleasure of opening many really old bottles such as this one. Most are astoundingly beautiful. I do think this is one of life’s smallest, yet most exciting things to do. Our Grandmothers treasured this stuff, treating it like the precious rare commodity it actually is, (and rightly so) which is why we oh-so-spoilt modern women can still occasionally find perfume like this, in this condition. Affording us an absolutely golden opportunity. Everyone should get to open a sealed bottle of century-old perfume at least once in a lifetime!!! See all photos and please ask any questions before purchasing. Once again this is a very rare offering, if you are interested please make me a reasonable offer. Thank you for looking.
