For a few years, I have been looking in antique shops for beautiful old perfume bottles. I've had fun discovering the ways in which perfume has been bottled over the years, and each perfume maker has devised unique ways of presenting their fragrances to entice the public to buy their particular brand.
I recently inherited a very old bottle of Chanel No. 5, and the bottle is shaped like a prism, with an elaborate stopper. The amber liquid inside the bottle is over 40 years old, and it makes a beautiful display on my antique medicine cabinet in my bathroom.
At a garage sale last weekend, I found a great collection of tiny perfume bottles, and I bought them all. They bring back such a feeling of elegance, and I could imagine women years ago using the bottles and the perfumes to complete their toilette.
