For Christmas my mother gave me a beautiful art nouveau styled china atomizer bottle date marked 1926.

Well its in the baccarat bottle that it is so famous for. The packaging and the art nouveau style lettering on the label was the presentation used from 1910 to the mid 1930's I've never seen that...

It is definitely a lalique design, probably around the 20's or 30's they were usually sold in metal cases or "caskets" as they were called. They used the same design for all of their perfumes at the...

You know you're obsessed when you pillage boxing day sales, filling a cart with perfumes you've never smelled because they were on sale.

I recently bought a glass stoppered bottle at a thrift store and I don't really know what its for. I was hoping it was a perfume, but I'm not sure. It's square bottomed with scalloped sides and an...

It was a vintage bottle of Joy and the top was chipped.



Update: Success! I got it out but it wasn't pretty! I tried the fridge method, then I pushed around the edges with a screwdriver and it...

I told myself only frags on my list and only once a month. I fell off the wagon today and bought a second frag, but I'm going to return it tomorrow! no more cheating!

you're not kidding! I'm currently nursing a nasty cut caused from a vintage stopper. Its still stuck, but I'm going to try some of the methods here once my finger heals.:cry:

that's true, and I never thought of it that way. I just thought of using it like one of those bottles you buy empty. As it turned out though, this one wasn't completely! what a lovely surprise that...

www.pilotvials.com has some fairly nice refillable glass atomizers. They aren`t overly fancy, but they are better than plain.
I also recommend etsy.com, they deal in vintage items for a fairly...

Thanks so much! I'll give that a try. :)

I found a 100ml bottle of hypnotic poison online and the seller requests an offer. I'm notoriously bad at low balling and am also somewhat a cheapskate. What would be fair to offer this seller? she...

Today I almost bought a rosebud bottle of Mitsouko. I really shouldn't have went looking! Still fighting with myself over this one!!!!:undecided:

Hi everyone!
I'm new to Basenotes and the perfume aspect of bottle collecting. This may be a stupid question, but I'm not sure.
I just purchased a vintage mini Patou Joy bottle (the one with the...

100% in agreement. I love the Vol De nuit art deco bottle and I love the blue 2011 holiday version with the atomizer!

I love blue and green glass bottles. I am currently on a search for some for my new vanity for a splash of colour (since most of my bottles are clear or white. :(

Ha Ha! your friend sounds like my Father-in-law! He always complains about my "perfume-shit" as he calls it, but I don't know how he can smell it over his own *gag* natural odor of cigarette smoke,...

when I was in high school all of the girls in the change room would practically BATHE in Calgon Hawaiian Ginger body spray and it would make me nauseated, I would wheeze up and I would be stuck with...

My 2 faves were the ones my gran and my mum always wore. Chantilly and Giorgio. I'm getting into some different vintage scents, have some samples of chanel 19, and youth dew on their way.

what is the first one? I think my mum had that one. it's so familiar!

I've seen this bottle before, but always empty. I'm pretty sure that it is just a decant into a decorative bottle.

I agree with what you said here. I suppose that someone looking for a fragrance for college is looking for something versatile and affordable.
