Vintages I Bought - 2023

[hednic]

Congrats on this buy and enjoy!

I got some Estee Lauder miniatures: I bought the set for Knowing, but look forward to trying the others (though EL is not my favourite brand). They are all "parfum". Knowing, White Linen, Beautiful and Eau de Private Collection.

That time of the year folks.
Wish you all a Happy New Year. Hope this year is way better than the last.

I don't think we bought a lot in 2022 as a group. Or if we did we did not post
@PStoller seems to have slowed down. But the good news is we have young ones ( @Jean-Sté, @WarmJewel, @Z_LiDs,@Martialisaragon ) and new old-timers(@Proust_Madeleine, @Couronne de Violette, @nosey74 ) picking up the slack.
I am hoping 2023 will be the year we get to meet in person like we used to ( here, here and here). I scoped out Saks yesterday and they have new counters for Etat and Goutal - hope that is good enough reason to make a trip to NYC.
And here are a few purchases to start the new year.
I think I choose the right background for these minis

Vintage Cristalle - yummy.

Bought two minis of LouLou; what a crazy 4ss fragrance!

Very unique looking. No label?

I got these as a lot on fb marketplace for $50, i haven't tried any of them but I'm excited about almost all of them for one reason or another! i have only smelled a couple of these before but from what i have found out about them it seems like this was the collection of someone who had similar taste to me!

l to r
worth (not sure which one)
coty l'aimant
4711 (the edc is the one fragrance my mom had when i was a kid! has anyone seen this kind of bottle before?)
nina ricci signoricci 1
chanel no. 5
ecusson (smells nasty but i'll see how it is on skin later)
yardley english lavender (as i mentioned yesterday, my grandmother wore this!)
crepe de chine (i tried this already, as a chypre fan i had to! and it is wonderful)
mary kay avenir
white linen
english leather

that no. 19 is new to me too but it wasn't part of the lot sadly!

Well I randomly decided to search for colognes on the local FB marketplace and a few hours later these are in my possession. Kind of blown away that I found these. I’ve been looking for a steal on Matchabelli for years. Finally struck gold. I didn’t even know the Musk existed!

I love those minis. Great way to get ahold of some vintage juice.

l to r
worth (not sure which one)

Great score there!!!! I believe the Worth is Je Reviens, but perhaps one of the experts can confirm.....

Edit: sorry for the late night pocket posting! Thanks for the tip @woodnotes55 and @PStoller !

Looks like it to me.

Some old stuff, but all 3 belong to my most loved scents.
Tabac set, dont know the year...i guess late 70s or 80s, but dont know for sure ...before i had a timeline concerning the bottles and labels...the more the tabac label was pointed to the bottom, the older the bottle...lol, plus the difference in the color brown of the box...
The Givenchy is a early version i asume, with the paris and france on the silver label plus being an atomiseur and mentioning of gram on the bottle. It smells amazing.
The Cacharel is a vaporisateur...lol...anthor 80s icon, one of the few even buying a half full used bottle is worth it. Cacharel always works, its a true child of the 80s decade. Man, so much good stuff was made back then...

Givenchy Gentleman is wonderful, can go wrong with this classic.

It was calling my name so had to.

Never like the EDT. EDC is the way to go followed by Extrait and EDP. Leau and Dress Code are good too

You’ve got me thinking I need to pull out my sample of EDC and give it another whirl.
