Ahhhh, which chypre lover can be without the classic Mitsouko, composed by the legendary perfumer Jacques Guerlain, who managed to outdo its inspiration: Coty's Chypre.

Item #23 ~ Christian Dior, circa 1981


Compared to things as varied as fruit on the verge of rotting, and Thai fruit salad, Diorella eau de toilette does admirably in trying to live up to the parfum's storied reputation as a skanky fruity chypre.

Another masterpiece by Roudnitska!

How much more romantic can a perfume be,named as it is after the time of day when the sky has just lost the sun, but hasn't yet found the stars? This 80 ml Baccarat bottle, containing the timeless classic by Jacques Guerlain is a true treasure: dusky, candied and just musty enough to remind the wearer of a happier time called the Belle Epoque.

Item #26 ~ Caron, circa 1978



You rarely find these bottles empty,and eBay sellers ask exorbitant amounts for even the empty bottles, but a hardly-evaporated, sealed bottle is a priceless gem indeed!

15ml of the legendary Tabac Blond from the esteemed house of Caron is contained in their classic rectangular flacon,with the paper label still attached, and in pristine condition!

Monumental longevity with just a couple of drops, this smoky, vanilla and carnation infusion is beyond wonderful!

Both outer and inner boxes are also in great condition!

Item #27 ~ Jean Patou, circa 1984




The prolific Jean Kerleo created this fragrace, apparently after a thousand tries, with other accounts claiming that 1000 ingredients were used, hence the name.

Discontinued long ago, the jade bottle in its lush silk and suede packaging has a couple of ml left of the rich, woody scent, loaded with outrageously expensive Chinese osmanthus, and now restricted oakmoss.

A true wonder of the perfume world!

Price = $79

Item #28 ~ Caron, circa 1987



A perfume composed by the prodigiously talented Ernest Daltroff for his fiance, Nuit de Noel is a wonderfully woody and spicy scent that juxtaposes incense with carnation as well as other rich ingredients typical of the esteemed house of Caron.

A completely sealed, untouched 1 oz Baccarat bottle in black glass like this should make most Caron fans' mouths water!

Item #29 ~ Yves Saint Laurent, circa 1994



An empty 50ml splash bottle that originally contained the parfum, it's a squat iconic representation of a bottle of champagne, with all the gold trimmings.
