Up
for immediate purchase is this lovely rare, late 1930s, made in France, empty Brumes perfume bottle,
by Parfumeur Le Galion. The top cap is appropriately embossed: Le Galion Paris
and the base is embossed: Le Galion Paris France. There is some light residue (cap
exterior and bottle neck) that is not visible to the naked eye but can be seen
under high magnification. All photos were taken at 40x magnification to best
confirm overall item condition. The buyer will receive the exact item pictured.
This vertically-ribbed, molded-glass bottle is classified as a miniature and stands just 1.5 inches tall. It is in
excellent condition with no cracks, chips, crazing or flea bites. The shiny
gold foil label is fully intact and readable. There is a minute amount of perfume
residue clinging to the interior of the bottle. The 12-sided metal gold-tone screw-top
cap is in excellent condition with no tarnishing, flaking or dents; however it
is frozen on the neck of the bottle. I am leaving the potential freeing of the cap, if desired, to
the new owner as it might be a time-consuming process.
Originally
launched in 1937 (1941 in the USA), Brumes, is classified as a floral-bouquet scent
with top notes of aldehydes, tarragon, bergamot, neroli-orange flower,
coriander and pepper; heart notes of ylang-ylang, carnation (+ salycilates),
violet, rose, Jasmin, clove, nutmeg, angelica and orris; on base notes of
heliotrope, vanilla, sandalwood, musk and benzoin.
