 Vintage comes
as the fashion trend especially for items of clothing which is from the time of
the past. Apart from vintage clothing, the accessories found in trunks and
boxes in the attic are found to be vintage which should complement and
accentuate the style women opt for including watches, hats and perfume. Vintage
perfume in XXI century is the special trend in perfumery.
On the whole,
vintage is the item from the past that was popular at the time it was used and
that demonstrates the style of that time period. Vintage for 21st
century is perfumeries which were highly demanded some decades ago and there
are some principles to regard.
Vintage
perfume is that launched over fifteen years ago as the upper margin. The low margin
is not specified at all. And this is because perfumery experienced the blooming
in the end of 19th and beginning of 20th century. Age is no
the only factor, though. And this is not because the perfume was launched fifty
years ago but it was the real triumph for that time.
Classic
perfume is that produced till 60s of 20th century. They have the
history and persons who loved and used those fragrances have passed away
already, but we still remember their likings for fragrances. And the essential criterion
is when the perfume is the parity of the time. Thus, it is quite difficult to opt for vintage perfume
without knowing the history of them.
Perfume is not
considered as vintage in USA
unlike clothing which is sold at auctions at so swift a pace and for the
fortune. There is the risk to get the different scent than you lined in the
closed bottle since perfume needs tender storage, and second, it is the low
price for it, around $10USD per 50 ml. However, vintage scents still extract
attention to their rare nature for the latest ten years, especially in Europe.
Many people
say they cannot wear vintage cologne versions, since they appear to look sour
onto the skin. And this is why vintage perfume is liked or not. Discontinued perfume
is also vintage and most often because the considerable cost of components:
natural amber, musk and species cost a fortune to use regularly.
Perfume launched
in the early 20th century is also considered as vintage which are
still loved and purchased like Chanel №5 by Chanel, Krasnaya Moskva and Landysh
serebristiy by Novaya Zarya Factory, «Byt mojet» from Poland. Besides,
some perfumery houses still launch the series of vintage fragrances. So, Chanel
offers the exclusive line of retro fragrances known as Bois de Isle and Cuir de
Russie totaling around ten scents. The bestsellers of Guerlain Perfumeery House
come as Jicky, Mitsouko and Shalimar.
There are
found some boutiques in Italy
and Great Britain
that trade in vintage styled perfume. Actually they sell unfamiliar perfumery acknowledged
in smaller groups in early 20th century. So, the Penhaligon's, an
English perfume house, that was the perfume supplier to the British Royal
Family, has launched perfume since the late 19th century. Audrey Hepburn and Ava
Gardner preferred the perfume by Acqua di Parma brand and Sharon Stone still
uses it today.
Most
popular vintage perfumes by the reputed houses are fragrances by Dior,
Guerlain, Chanel, Caron, Creed, D'Orsay, Acqua di Parma and Roger&Gallet. The
most popular come as the following:
-

Caron, Chanel №5, Nocturnes by Caron.

When getting
vintage perfume, do not feel like ridiculous and absurd since these fragrance

Giorgio Armani who prefers Knize Ten created in 1931, Karl Lagerfeld with his
liking for Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet, the cologne launched one hundred and
fifty years ago. The perfume can be as old as the century and as new as
launched a week ago, but it should go with the person to accentuate the image.
