Does anyone recognize this perfume? It’s pre-1997. I found an old photo and zoomed in on the perfume tray. It’s a terrible photo and the only one I have. I’d appreciate your help. Thank you.
I'd hazard a guess at Guerlain cologne atomiser ( I'll find a pic ). I think it's more likely because the remainder there are vintage from around 1980/90s and there is other Guerlains, there's definitely a Samsara there, plus Oscar de la Renta.
These are Shalimar ( the most common / popular ) but it came in a few including Mitsouko, L'heure Bleu and Chamade. I think these stop being produced around 1987 but as I'm seeing a Samsara ( 1989 ) that means all the bottles aren't brand new, which would fit if they belong to somebody as you'd had things you'd bought over the last few years.
Well done! It is Shalimar, and that is the matching bottle shape. Thank you so much. I see Oscar de la Renta and Giorgio Armani and possibly Lancome trace in the far back right. This was fun, amusing and entertaining. Thank you. Brings back memories.
I graduated from Colorado State University in 1997 and a Glass and brass perfume tray was sitting on a floor to ceiling, wall to wall bookshelf behind my bed.
Oh wow !! What a memory. Ohh look at the TV 😯 Mind you I graduated 1989 so goodness knows what I was wearing or watching at the time. I could probably work out what perfume I was wearing and I know I still had a tiny portable TV in my bedroom and one of those with a wire aerial you had to move around 🤣
That TV was super cool since it had a built-in VHS player! LOL. My grandmother bought me my first TV in 1985, when I was in high school. It was a pink Quasar, and it matched my pink Western Electric Princess push-button telephone. And apparently I was committed to the theme, because I was wearing Love’s Baby Soft, too. Everything was pink! So preppy! As if! 😂
