Yves Saint Laurent KOUROS 10/100 ml VINTAGE Eau de Toilette.
Beast mode sillage and longevity.
This bottle is from 2008.
Batch code on back 8HAA.
This is the vintage bottle with the SILVER SHOULDERS top AND bottom.
Later releases have white (after 2011).
From the incredible raidersofthelostscent -
"Since 2011 the bottle doesn't sport its typical "metallic base and shoulders" anymore."
Tested with around 10% remaining or 10 ml’s of a large 100ml bottle.
Perfume level comes up to the base of the LAURENT text on bottle.
Clear under back light (i tries to photograph to show but is a little blurry)
Bottle looks a little scruffy as it was ell used during a phase.
I have NOT thoroughly cleaned the outside due age of bottle. I thought I would leave it to the buyer.
Please note - though bottle looks aged (Kouros white does this) perfume itself is in EXCELLENT condition.
Kouros has famously received a 5 STAR review from Luca Turin.
I included an image from my book that describes this beautifully.
2 TOM FORD minis Tobacco Vanille and BLACK ORCHID 2010
2 mini ORIGINAL FORMULA and original issue vials of TOM FORD perfumes.
These are both very vintage from 2010 and are in mini wide neck glass bottles.
Top notes may have burnt off or changed a little but dry down will be true.
1) TOM FORD Tobacco Vanille 3ml Eau de Parfum
Tested with around 1/3 remaining.
I have had this since 2010.
Tobacco Vanille was launched in 2007. The nose behind this fragrance is Olivier Gillotin.
2) TOM FORD Black Orchid 3ml Eau de Parfum
Tested with around 1/3 remaining.
I have had this since 2010.
Black Orchid was launched in 2006. The nose behind this fragrance is Givaudan.
I do a “tip test” before listing a perfume.
I lay it on its side to make sure there is no leakage from top.
I happily combine postage.
I charge actual postage only. No packing and no handling fees.
My Perfumes -
Why am I selling my perfumes you may ask?
My perfume collection has been refined over 35 years. The bottles that I am selling now are bottles that I have loved and still do in ways.
I am very familiar with and have appreciated every single bottle.
If I did not adore a perfume, it did not join my collection.
I am older now and it is time to release many of my perfumes to be enjoyed by others.
I do indeed have an enormous collection.
I consider most of these bottles as priceless. They will never be duplicated. They are finite works of art.
They are also created to be enjoyed, to be learnt from and to invoke a myriad of memories.
I could wax lyrically about every bottle but that is enough.
