ASHES OF VIOLETS by Bourjois 1913
These mini collection of 2 in my Bourjois Collection. ASHES OF VIOLETS 1913.Rare to find.First one little golden compact purple engraved in "Ashes of violets"next to is the drawing in delicate purple lines of violet bouquet of two in a dramatic long amphora container .this compact is less than 2" I have the square little bottle light purple cap. Golden label read ashes of violets same purple design the difference is bouquet logo is smaller and violets are 6.this little bottle has some original perfume left and I marvel at it. Delicious.!
ASHES OF ROSES BOURJOIS 1909
In my Bourjois Collection all are my favorite.For different reasons love each and one of them.I will not lie saying that even I'm not buying no more I have dream items that I'm been unable to aquire.So I'm basically stating : Bourjois Trunk still open .
Showing off is this little two bottles :
ASHES OF ROSES.by BOURJOIS 1909.
One is the bourjois six sided bullet clear glass label just read Ages of Roses by Bourjois . no bouquet in label .Bakelite cap with deep red with purple yellow tassel. The square little bottle is 3" Purple label .perfect complete bouquet design w 2 Roses.and long amphora container Both are empty. the Scent of Roses lingers whe u open the can .is just incredible.
Little anecdote behind my purchase. I got them in a big lot long time ago. From Canada .the seller never sold perfume before and the post office rejected the box.he offer to cancel and full refund. I refused.i ask him to get rid of all liquid.and rewrite empty bottles.He wasn't sure .I pressed in a nice way assured him once he emptied the lot it will b no problem.Nice Canadian gentleman. Both bottles have reminisce of the perfume .Roses lingers deliciously. Incredible.
