Please use your own words and photos for your listings. Available today is this exceptional, vintage 1970s (circa 1976 relaunch), made in France, original and authentic, Essence Rare parfum splash in a 0.5 oz (15ml) size by Houbigant, housed in the iconic “melting icicle” flacon and accompanied by both the inner presentation box and the original outer retail box. Houbigant Paris attribution (Reference Number: 1004). Photos were taken at high magnification to best highlight overall item condition. This bottle represents the desirable second-generation Essence Rare from the 1976 revival period. The sculptural “melting icicle” flacon is one of Houbigant’s most recognizable designs and is increasingly difficult to locate with complete packaging, particularly examples retaining both boxes. Bottle glass is clean and clear with no chips or cracks observed. Label is intact and well-preserved. Both inner presentation box and outer retail box are included and show light age-appropriate wear. Overall presentation remains strong and highly display-worthy. Please review all photos carefully to confirm condition details. Essence Rare introduced by Houbigant during the golden age of French perfumery as an elegant aldehydic floral composition. 1976: Relaunched with updated packaging, including the signature “melting icicle” flacon, while maintaining its classic scent structure. 2018: Modern reinterpretation released with reformulated composition and contemporary packaging. Essence Rare is classified as a light, powdery aldehydic chypre. It features top notes of bergamot, aldehydes, green accords, chamomile, and orange; middle notes of rose, lily of the valley, geranium, iris, and lily; and base notes of oakmoss, vetiver, patchouli, sandalwood, tonka bean, civet, and musk. Originally launched in 1928 and revived in 1976, this bottle represents the classic second-generation formulation valued by collectors.

A very fine French antique icicle shaped scent bottle. The body of the bottle is made from a mottled duck egg blue porcelain with scrolling enamel and gilt detailing. The centre features a romantic hand painted scene of lovers together in a field in the manner of Watteau but unsigned, the image is bordered by further enamelling. The outer lid is made from gilded brass with a small gilt chain and finger ring though could be hung from a sash or attached to a chatelaine. Inside the outer lid there is a tiny glass stopper, original to the piece and without any damages. Overall the scent bottle is in very good antique condition for the age c1850-60. There are no chips or cracks and the imagery is still fresh, very slight loss of gilding but commensurate with age. Approx 3.5″ length and 2.5″ circumference at the widest point.
