Nostalgie Drawing — now closed

I love you Laurie =) I’m quite fond of glass stopper square bottles myself and in general bottles that have a thick layer of glass~

My all time favourite bottle has been the Feminite di Bois from Shiseido back in the 90s, where each bottle was handmade and unique, resembling a Henry Moore sculpture of a woman’s curvy body. Nowadays, I appreciate the understated and unassuming presentation of houses like yours, Frederic Malle, Aesop, Diptyque, where the juice becomes the highlight and main focus. Having said that, I always fall for the girlie frills of Annick Goutal, Lolita Lempicka, or the old Guerlains. Would love to join the draw, and partake in Nostalgie!

Thanks for the giveaway, Laurie! I love Chanel parfum bottles too (especially the vintage 1/4 oz ones) – there is something so ‘old-fashionedly’ luxurious about them .From what I’ve read in the reviews of Nostalgie-this french parfum bottle seems perfect for it..:)

Thanks for having this draw for Nostalgie, and in such a nice special occasion bottle. I’m actually not a huge bottle-coveter. I like the Frederic Malle ones, primarily because the cap is substantial and never becomes “loose”. I like the overall proportions of the Malle bottles.

How could I say no to this opportunity? SSS is on my resolution list to experience this year : ) I have heard so many amazing things about your line that I can’t wait! I’m hoping for find a perfume love for my sister as well. My favorite bottle I own is by far my L’Artisan. It’s so solid, classic and luxurious.

I love bond no 9 bottles so sleek and classy with crystsl and colorfull deigns

I love the By Kilian atomizers. Heavy and textured, they feel wonderful in hand.

I would love to be entered for this, thank you so much! I keep hearing wonderful things about it!

I like so many vintage bottles, some ornate and others simple. Caron’s black Art Deco Nuit de Noel bottle is a beauty. I like a nice sturdy bottle but some of those impossibly “tippy” looking ones, such as the tall one the Dior extraits used to come in, the name of which escapes me, are gorgeous but I would be afraid to touch them!

For modern bottles, I am very fond of the purple Natori bottle – love the porthole window!

Wow, this is a fantastic draw! My absolute favourite bottle is the original Coque d’Or bottle; I went to the perfume exhibition in Harrod’s to see it. The shape and the colouring – it’s like an amazing combination of Yves Klein Blue, art deco styling and Byzantine icon – gilding. So beautiful! The Chanel extrait bottles do have a beautiful simplicity to them – the older the better – and I love the Guerlain quoadrilobes, too.

Thanks so much for your package. Nostalgie is just wonderful!

Thanks for giving us the chance for this Laurie! It’s getting some great reviews all over the internet!

I love Chanel bottles as well. I also like Serge Lutens simple ones, Tom Ford’s Private Blend, Donna Karan’s Chaos, Lubin’s Idole and the retro Penhalighton’s ones. I’d also vote for the black Armani Prive bottles (they’re great to look at) but hate the fact that they’re opaque and I can’t see how much juice I have left.

Thanks again!
Fani

Thank you for the draw! 🙂
I’ve already heard so many great things about Nostalgie that I’d love a chance of winning this.
I’m ashamed to say that I don’t really take bottles much into account, I enjoy what’s in them, so the bottle is really just a container. Although, some of those are beautiful to look at.
I love the look of the Shalimar bottle (both old and new). 🙂

I love the squat vintage Cabochard bottles, Bulgari Black bottle, the Encre Noire bottle, the old Guerlain bottles, the Nu bottle, and the Mona di Orio bottles-her’s probably the most .

I collect bottles – hard to mention all my favourite ones. I love Shalimar and Shalimar Parfum Initial bottles, Idylle, Mitsouko and Heure Bleue bottles, almost all Lalique bottles, Amouage bottles, Juliette Has a Gun bottles, Annick Goutal bottles, Chanel bottles, Feerie and some others from Van Cleef&Arpels, Dolce Vita, Sun,Moon&Stars, Deci-Dela, and vintage Avon collectable bottles (and some modern as well – just have a look at Cynthia Rowley bottle, it’s cute – regardless the juice :-)). Oh, I love that stuff!

Hi Laurie. What a beautiful bottle-it does Nostalgie justice! (I just received a 17ml bottle). I collect vintage perfume bottles, I don’t have too many but my favorote is Le Dix Balenciaga. I especially like ground glass stoppers….so classy! Thanks for doing a draw…what a nice idea.

Thank you for the Laurie

My favourite bottle is the Mona di Orio, I love the lid with the twisted wire, i also love the By kilian travel sprays, smart, sleek and hoepfully indestructible (it would need to be after being in my handbag all day) 🙂

Wow! I love Nostalgie and it would be wonderful to have some of the golden juice in such a lovely bottle. Thank you for this drawing!! I love Chanel bottles, especially because I remember my mother having No.5 on her dresser and it was such a treat when she would let me apply some at the ripe old age of 5. I’ve been addicted to fragrance ever since that time!!

Thank you for the opportunity!

Congrats Laurie!!

I do love old Chanel parfum bottles as well (Nostalgie looks stunning, by the way). There is an old bottle of Belladogia that I’ve been eyeing for a while:)

Thanks for the draw and hope for continued success for you, my friend.

Probably my favorite bottle is the Vol de Nuit “propeller” bottle. It’s the only one my husband recognizes, because I told him the whole story about it. But I also like the classic Chanel bottles. And your new bottles are great, Laurie.

If I could only choose one: Chinatown.

Thanks for your generosity.

Beautiful perfume bottles are part of the fascination and enjoyment of collecting perfume. Sometimes, I’ll just gaze at my assortment with the different colors of liquid they contain and enjoy the prettiness of it all. I love so many of the different styles – the classic, simple and understated Chanel bottle being one. I also admire the black bottle with red the top of vintage Joy, the over the top painted snakes and other images on the cobalt blue glass of Niki St Phalle and all of the different vintage Guerlain bottles to name just a very few.

Thanks so much for offering this givaway opportunity! I’m already a fan of several SSS fragrances and have read so many wonderful reviews of Nostalgie – can’t wait to try it!

Laurie – That’s just lovely!
It was my mother’s Chanel No.5 bottle (with the ground glass stopper) that started me on my journey to perfume and perfume bottle collecting. My favorite bottle has to be the 1987 Nina Ricci Nina bottle, but since that is past the period of bottles with ground glass stoppers, my favorite among the bottles I own is Guerlain’s Apres L’Ondee.
Hugs!
a:)

Congrats Lady Laurie, beautiful bottle, i lovely and amazing!

For me a beautiful bottle is as precious as the fragrance contained therein. I think Old Hollywood and a lady dabbing her fragrance on with the stopper of a heavy perfume bottle.
I love Serge Luten’s bottle of “Borneo”, too gorgeous for words. I also love the heavy glass dab bottle of Caron’s Parfum Sacre, truly beautiful..
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you being so open as to offer something so beautiful! Thank you so very much!

Hi Laurie,
My fav bottles are Serge Lutens and also the Chanels,amd your lovely square bottle with stopper is a beauty!
Thank you for this draw.
Suny 🙂

Chinatown and Madison Square Park (both Bond No. 9) are two bottles I love but my favorite is With Love Hilary Duff. The top is icky bit I love how that faceted bottles feels in my hand.

How sweet of you to do a draw, thank you!

I hate to be so unoriginal, but a classic is a classic. Chanel bottles, hands down. Simple and elegant.

Thank you so much for the chance to enter. Am a huge fan of Winter Woods and I have Nostalgie on my short list to try this year!

I love the elegant simplicity of Chanel. The bottles that Strange Invisible Perfumes and Roxana Illuminated Perfumes use, are also very appealing to me. At present, I am loving the small bottle with ground stopper, that DSH is using for her Mirabella. The juice is wonderful, as well.

I have just had the opportunity to sample, Nostalgia. This is lovely!

I also like the bottles shaped like vintage Chanel,but I like and some new interested bottles with elements from the classic style with modern touch like the Amouage bottles.I love the Killian bottles and the Murano and Quarz bottles from Xerjoff.The presentation is imporntant,but the perfume inside is too.Sonoma Scent Studio is perfect example of that.I would love to try Nostalgie and I’m using often in the winter my bottles of Incense pure and Fireside Intense.

Lovely bottle for Nostalgie. I tend to like the minimalist flacons from Editions de Parfums, Chanel, and Tauer.

Thanks for offering one to all of us!

I love the Guerlain Bee bottles, the ltd. ed. etched Serge Lutens bell jars, and that special “art” bottle that Guerlain’s Quand vient la pluie parfum was available in. Thank you!

I love many from Guerlain: the quadrilobe bottle, the bottle with radiating design for Vol de Nuit, the Chamade bottle, Nahema bottle.

Thank you for this wonderful draw.

I thought of passing on this draw (and not because I do not like your perfumes 😉 ) but it’s too tempting! So I’m throwing my name in the hat.

Wow! What a great response! Congratulations to you. I know firsthand what you mean when you say you fill bottles, stick labels, post out and then find the time to freely formulate, create and be inspired. Your works looks beautiful and I’d adore the chance to sample. I love the Angel bottle actually but the classic Coco Chanel is beautiful as well, solid cut glass, elegant and refined. Nostalgie feels like it fits into that category. As well I must say your location is wonderful and you must step out each day saying, ‘what’s going to happen today?”

I can’t wait to try!!! I love all the bottles that you mentioned as well 🙂

Hi Laurie,
I really like the square glass bottle with stopper. I also love the small round glass bottles with the glass stopper 1/4ml. I have a really pretty rectangle heavy glass bottle with a glass stopper that has a long glass perfume dabber and the top of the stopper is also rectangle. It’s my favorite, Marc Jacobs parfum was it in.

Thank you for this generous draw! There are many nostalgic beautiful bottles out there, of the vintage ones I have to go with the Vol de Nuit bottle, but I couldn’t be sure to say whether the rather marvelous content doesn’t influence my pick 😉

I would love be in the drawing and have a chance to check out incense pure…..sounds right up my alley 🙂

Mom’s crystal bottle of Le Galion’s Sortilege parfum extrait was the first perfume to captivate me when I was only 4 or 5 years old. It was a 12-sided round bottle with a ground glass stopper and when she took it out it meant she’d soon be putting her red hair in a french twist, hooking silk stockings to garters and slipping her feet into impossibly high heel for an evening out with my father. The elegant bottle, the fragrance, her preparations and appearance combined to make me fall in love with perfumes.

Not surprising that by the time I was a young teen I was buying Guerlain’s round “lifesaver” bottles (also with ground glass stoppers) with my babysitting money and had them lined up on my dresser: L’Heure Bleue, Mitsouko, Chamade, Jicky and Shalimar. I was the best smelling junior high student ever! Of that I’m sure.

Nostalgie sounds right up my alley – please enter me in the drawing.

Hi Laurie,

I’d really love to be entered in your drawing for the Nostalgie bottle as it just sounds lovely and I haven’t had a chance to sample yet. For favorite bottle, I’d have to go with the classic Shalimar bottle, so beautiful and immediately recognizable

Of the perfumes I possess, the prettiest bottle is Caron’s Muguet du Bonheur Parfum.

The bottle that gives me most satisfaction it that of Ormonde Jayne Woman. The bottle is quite simple but has a lovely weight to it when you pick it up ( and I love the perfume inside). Best wishes.

my favorite bottle is (currently) tous h2o 🙂

I’d love to be entered in the Nostalgie draw…
Like you and so many others, I love the Chanel bottles, especially the extrait version. Perfection. But I also love the Frederic Malle bottles–and was surprised to see others do, too. (Thought people might find them too utilitarian or something.) L’artisan, especially the old bottle style, is lovely; and I like the Hermessences bottles. And this Nostalgie bottle is stunning! 🙂

Tiempe Passate (I am now on my 6th) is my favorite bottle. I do so love the thick crystal stopper bottles, like yours. Heavy in hand with a cold feel, perfectly classic.

love the stopper bottles! My Channel Coco from the early 90’s is in the stopper bottle. Feel so glamourous when I use it. Please enter me in your drawing. And thank you!

Thank you for the drawing – I’ve read so many great things about Nostalgie and that gorgeous sandalwood drydown! 🙂

My favorite bottles are the Chanel Exclusif bottles (clean lines, cool magnetic top), the Eau des Merveilles Hermes bottles (love the constellation/sea spray effect), the Kenzo UFO bottle (so modern!), and the Shalimar Parfum Initial bottle (despite not being sold on the fragrance).

Congratulations again on your new classic! 🙂

Thank you for this wonderful giveaway! I am not really a bottle person at all, but I’ve always liked the small colorful bottles that my grandmother used to collect. I’m not even sure that they were ever used for perfume, but they were so pretty.

Oh, this is too funny! THAT is one of my all time favorite bottles! I saw a picture of something similar to that on an indie parfumeur site when I first got into the perfume hobby and it made me want to try their perfumes, because the simple elegant lines of the bottle seem so decadent and luxurious to me. THAT is beauty, you know?

I have fed my habit through the purchase of decants mostly, so I rarely get to swoon over real bottles, but I love the Chanel mini parfum bottles. I scored a partial one on ebay and it is the star of my collection. I also really like MFK bottles and boxes (the inside is inlaid with gold). Very well executed, imho.

I really love the simplicity of the SSS bottles with the gold tops. I only have one in my collection so far (Tabac Aurea) but it’s really beautiful. I wish that all the perfumes came in smaller sizes like this.

Nostalgie sounds just up my alley (aldehydes, jasmine and oakmoss- woo hoo!)

Thanks for the drawing! I’m so excited your scents will soon be at Sweet Anthem. I live in the shop’s neighborhood and have met Meredith a couple of times–great gal. Favorite bottle? Hmm, I’m not picky, as long as they don’t fall over all the time…which some do…;)

i still LOVE the scents you probably don’t even make anymore—like fireside and tabac pour homme

I adore the Lalique bottles of La Air De Temps. The double dove bottles in black and white. I also enjoy bottles the have stoppers. I’m not a fan of sprays, actually. Sprays are very useful however, I think botlle dabbing is glamorous.
I always think back to the photo of Marilyn Monroe and her bottle of Chanel number 5.dabbing it wildly on her decolatte.
Thank you for the draw:)

Hi Laurie,
Thanks for the draw-I love your scents, they are so beautiful! Enjoying my Egyptian Musk!
