In Love

This perfume takes me right back to the late 1960s. I was given a heart shaped bottle of talc one Christmas and I loved the scent so much that I bought a teensy little bottle of perfume. I wore "In Love" for years along with a few other favourites until it disappeared from the shops. Now, some 50 years later I am fortunate enough to own another teensy bottle of the pure perfume plus a part used spray bottle. They have both stood the test of time very well, both are still wearable. The little rubber stopper in the perfume bottle has perished and fallen into the bottle - I hope this won't do too much harm. I have to clean out the sprayer before each use, but that beautiful powdery soft floral is still there. Sadly it doesn't last on my skin for very long, I would need to reapply several times if I wanted to make this last all day. The perfume is less powdery and more about the jasmine than the spray. I think if I had a chance to get hold of another spray bottle I would, because when I spray it on my wrist I'm transported right back to those days of my youth, when it was my signature scent. For lovers of this vintage scent who can't get hold of it now and long to smell it again, the closest I have found to it so far is Guerlain's Jardins de Bagatelle, but it's not quite there, that "something" is missing.

What an amazing fragrance! I stumbled upon and bought a large selection of this fragrance on auction. Various 18ml bottles and small perfume vials. Would love to be able to sell this to interested lovers of this fragrance. I am based in South Africa.

This was my first perfume, a gift when I was 19 and so sweet to wear as a girl for an evening of dancing. I still have the little bottle. I have a sweet memory of this fragrance.

Does no-one remember this but me ? It was probably my first perfume, and came in a tiny glass column which was just about affordable if I saved my pocket money. It was soft, but intensely floral, and seemed to be aimed at the elegant woman I was not, but longed to be. It's many decades since I smelt it, but I think Guerlain Jardins de Bagatelle has just a hint of resemblance.

My mother had a bottle of this perfume in her dresser - probably the first perfume I can remember using (sneakily). I recall it was floral and grassy and I loved it. I don't remember any other notes.. a trip down memory lane seeing it again
