I agree. I'd date it to March 1982. Being a tester/demonstration bottle would also fit in with that timeframe being a recently launched fragrance.
hi bud I paid less than 100 euros.
Enjoy it in good health. There has been a spike in price for a lot of these classics unfortunately. It's getting harder to find good deals.
10 of those mini's is like having the full size bottle, at a sweet price.
Yes bud,
you are right mate! that's the why i have bought a good amount of kouros and some backup of Arrogance and Equipage, now that i can yet find them at a decent price...soon i will also try to buy some backup of egoiste and platinum, the other 2 fragrances that i love
You're looking at the first few years of Antaeus' releases. Definitely early-mid 1980s. It's going to be great!
Early 80s.
Yup I think you scored. I miss the old splash-type bottles. You lucky boy!
payed 50€ for a remaining 40ml, quite a fair price i think, dont you?
Very fair indeed! Wear it lavishly and enjoy it immensely!
for sure mate! these bottle is my backup of the 82's tester i alreadfy have
These are definitely early bottles, 1980s for sure. Be sure to decant these to into a glass atomizer.
for sure, i decant all my splash bottle into 5 or 10ml atomizer and seal the bottle with teflon and parafilm
Awesome. Personally, I think the fragrance smells better when it's applied by spraying rather than splashing it on.for sure, i decant all my splash bottle into 5 or 10ml atomizer and seal the bottle with teflon and parafilm
me too! but i have to admit that sometime i like to spray the perfume in my hand and "wash" mmy hands with it in order to have the hands smelling like when you use it in splash
I actually prefer a splash. It's easier to control how much you use, where you put it, and seems less wasteful. That's just my humble opinion though haha.
The problem of splashing it on is that you introduce skin particles, oil, dirt into the fragrance and that could change the composition of the fragrance overtime. I like to keep my fragrance free from outside contamination if possible.
i agree with you! furthermore the splash bottle consume more liquid per application i think, and contributes in evaporationm of head notes... am i right?
More unnecessary air exposure and less control on how much is applied at one time. I think contamination is the one that sticks out the most for me.
Umm, OK. *applies 3 small dabs of perfect vintage Paradoxe then tightly screws the cap back on.
Hard to tell for sure but the printed bar-code on the package means it's at least mid 1990s or after. Bar-code scanning technology in retail didn't exist before then. We were hand inputting stock numbers.
i have asked for other pics, i suppose is a early 90's bottle.. pre 95 maybe
Without further information 1989-92, definitely pre 1995. No Greendot which was introduced in 1992 unless it's on the bottom of the box, but Eau de Toilette above Chanel dates it to pre-1995.
no green dot on bottom, so i would confirm 90-92's, what do you think?I'd agree.
Yes, No recycle symbol will give you a 1990-92 bottle. It's still going to be good.
the problem is that the seller is asking an absurd price, 260€... no way im gonna pay these money for a 90's bottle... maybe i could pay these for a very first batch but not for a 10 years later batch
That’s not a hard line. UPC bar codes were in use in retail in the 1980s. But they became truly ubiquitous in the mid-1990s
I would not spend more than $200 or $2/ml, then again prices have been going up steadily in the past 1-2 years.
As a general rule of thumb I don't spend more than £1 per ml for vintage fragrances. Sometimes slightly more depending on the product availability, scarcity etc. but more often significantly less.
