Germaine Monteil's 1975 oriental wonder, Bakir is a
rich tapestry of golds, reds and russets. The citrusy-spicy-aldehydic
top notes are an explosion of ripe brightness that slowly
darkens into the carmine velvet of the floral heart,
in which the creaminess of rose and ylang-ylang are
juxtaposed with the fiery piquancy of carnation enhanced
by cloves. Darker still is the ambery, incensey, earthy
base, where myrrh, amber and bezoin continue the theme
of languid softness, while moss and ptachouli play for
the opposite team, enhancing the sharper, spicier side
of Bakir.

This
rare collector’s bottle of Champagne by Yves Saint
Laurent is a limited item since the company no longer
produces it under this name. Instead, you will now find
it sold under the re-named Yvresse to avoid the copyright
dispute for the original name Champagne by Caron.
"From
Parisian couturier Yves Saint Laurent comes Champagne,
a sparkling concoction of fruits and florals. Champagne
is corked in a bubbly flacon accented by hammered gold
and corkwire. Hints of nectarine, mint, and vetiver
enhance the vivid bouquet. The Yves Saint Laurent company
reports that a French court ruled that Champagne is
a name reserved for wine and can't be used for perfume.
As a result, the fragrance is now marketed under the
name Yvresse in Europe." ID=CS2

Vintage
Prince Matchabelli Figural Soap Perfume Cologne
This
is a unopened figural bar of soup that is in the original
plastic box. The soap was part of a very large collection
of soaps that took a lifetime to collect. This piece
is shaped like a crown and on the top of the packaging
it says simply Prince Matchabelli. Prince Matchabelli
is a very popular perfume or cologne and this soap still
smells very strong with the scent. The piece measures
about 5" tall, so this is a large bar of soap.
Soap is in excellent condition, but the box is a little
bent out of shape. Nice old item! Was probably some
kind of promotional giveaway or something.ID=DP6
