RARE
vintage perfume Vigny Beau Catcher sealed in box!
Vigny
introduced this fragrance in 1942. The front label on
the 3-1/2"-tall box reads Beau Catcher de Vigny,
and in fine print below says "Vigny, New York, NY.
Distrib's." The seal on the bottom of the box reads:
Vigny No. 314, 5/16 oz. net, Made in U.S.A. Aside from
a slight scratch on the top of the package wrapping, the
labels and the box itself are in very good condition--sealed
and unopened. Should you choose to open the package, it
is my understanding that the bottle within looks like
the one pictured (from p. 98 of Ball & Torem, Commercial
Fragrance Bottles). ID=DP132

Memoire
Cherie by Elizabeth Arden. Memoire Cherie was launched
in 1957, and was discontinued sometime in the early to
mid 1980s. Memoire Cherie was such a succes that by 1960,
it was awarded the grand Coupe D'Or award by the Comite
du Bon Gout Francais as "the finest fragrance ever
created and acclaimed in France."
Memoire Cherie is classified as a floral powdery aldehydic
parfum with refreshing woodsy notes.Notes include: Sicilian
bergamot, Mexican neroli, fresh apricot, Romanian chamomile,
tarragon, soft honey rose, violet, opoponax, Moroccan
oakmoss, amber, musk, and Haitian vetiver.
Perfumery
comments, "A memorable deception indeed, layers and
layers of beauty..each with a different face. Memoire
Cherie perfume begins with a classically constructed 50's
woody-floral accord, tightly wrapped together; dense and
waiting for air. After a moment of hesitation, Memoire
Cherie escapes and descends into a rich and wonderful
oriental accord; creamy, nutty and sensual beyond belief.
It is as if the perfume walked out of the room and came
back in a new outfit. This wonderful warm amber musk tone
has a gentle floralcy which dances around the base and
carries on for hours and hours. At the end, the oriental
base settles down below the floralcy and Memoire Cherie
walks quietly into the night. " -- Jeffrey Dame.
