A Journey Through Perfume History: 5 Rare Miniature Fragrances

This exquisite set is a true time capsule, uniting five of the most significant fragrances from the golden eras of perfumery and fashion of the late 20th century. Each miniature is not merely a scent but a piece of history, designed by legendary artists and visionary fashion creators.

The Collection

• KL by Karl Lagerfeld (1982): A rarity and a statement of the 1980s. This 7.5 ml Eau de Toilette, designed by perfume icon Marc Rosen, is about 3/4 full and an absolute collector's dream. The oriental-spicy fragrance embodies the opulence and elegance that defined Lagerfeld.

• Bouquet di Violette by Borsari 1870 (c. 1980s): Presented in its original, violet box, this 5 ml flacon is in perfect condition. The scent's history traces back to the 19th century, when the House of Borsari in Parma made the secret violet recipe—originally developed for Duchess Marie Louise of Austria—accessible to the world. This "Bouquet di Violette" is a modern homage to that legendary tradition, capturing the subtle beauty of the violet fragrance.

• Blonde by Versace (1995): A fragrance that captures the dramatic and glamorous aesthetic of Gianni Versace. The 5 ml bottle is full and features an inwardly-relieved face on the bottle's belly. This is the famous Medusa head, Versace’s iconic brand symbol, representing strength, beauty, and seduction.

• Two Miniatures by Jean Paul Gaultier: In the legendary and provocative torso design, this lot includes two small flacons, each holding 3.5 ml. These fragrances embody the unconventional and rebellious art of Jean Paul Gaultier. One of the bottles even comes with its original plastic box, making it a particularly desirable collector's item.

Every flacon in this collection tells its own story and is a testament to the time in which it was created. For connoisseurs and lovers of vintage perfumes and design objects, this set is a unique opportunity to own a piece of fashion and cultural history.
