I thought the bottles were beautiful, but the perfume was probably bad. I was wrong, so much of it is still lush and wearable. My favorites are the bon bons (poodles) filled with Timeless, Occur, Moonwind, Topaz, and Cotillion. If you've never tried Cotillion, I urge you to find a bottle. It is heavenly.Vivi Leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-2952179049581706432012-05-31T08:58:24.362-04:002012-05-31T08:58:24.362-04:00I my first husband god rest his soul who was one o...I my first husband god rest his soul who was one of the sexiest men ever to walk this earth wore my timeless because he liked it. This is back in late 80's. He also wore a pair of my leggings to the store because nothing else was clean and thought nothing of it. Very secure. <br /><br />It's been cheapened of course but ah the old. Review was just perfect. Although I'm a bit upset that now I'll probably have folks bidding against me when I need a new vintage bottle...6eg89344https://www.blogger.com/profile/13438334301762224305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-10534417572020461602012-05-11T18:04:07.487-04:002012-05-11T18:04:07.487-04:00Moonwind is another wonderful old Avon scent.

Then someone gave me a box with a bottle of vintage "Unforgettable" in it, in parfum. It's really nice, an orange-blossom based floral with some heavy base notes, and it lasts forever. In our times you'd have to pay big bucks for something like this, and it would be a very expensive niche offering. Not bypassing those old Avons any more.Olfactahttp://olfactarama.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-76117510709782739332012-05-11T04:33:50.598-04:002012-05-11T04:33:50.598-04:00I've had Timeless (kept in an always cool and ...I've had Timeless (kept in an always cool and dark environment and always tightly sealed) since the '70's, and still find it one of the sexiest fragrances around. A bit too much for everyday, but when it's time to show just how much of a woman you really are, it really comes into it's own.Sherry B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12080491326610493954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-79807796949966348192012-05-11T01:52:14.070-04:002012-05-11T01:52:14.070-04:00Thanks for spreading the word on this gem!

I'm told that their present-day skin care is excellent: a credible subsitute for people who sadly don't have a Bergdorfs nearby.<br /><br />Can I tell you how addictive that "You Might Like" thing is?

All my nose says is "oo good" or "ewww stinky!" Is there a way to develop a "nose" for scents I could try? <br /><br />To IFRA I would say, current perfumes formulated according to their rules still break me out. Why? Because it seems that my neck/decollete, no matter the perfume, is highly sensitive to the slightest drop of fragrance and breaks out in painful bumps. Perfume behind the ears? Another adventure in painful bumps. Should I not wear perfume? NO! I put it in less sensitive spots and it works beautifully.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01678855271371609373noreply@blogger.com
