Ancien flacon de parfum LUBIN Colonge, Paris, France original rare 1860 vendu intact

LUBIN Paris, France

This is very rare Antique Bottle.

“It's a cologne made before 1897, because of the adress rue Sainte Anne, probably even older, around 1860-80. They started to use engraved ( actually embossed) bottles in that period. It's a " portugal" which means a classical fresh cologne formula ( with citrus, like bergamot, orange and tangerine essences, with aromatic notes, like lavender clary sage or marjolaine). It's quite a rare bottle.”

The bottle has its original cologne. The top does not come off, the label shows where as you can see in the picture. The label shows some ware due to its age, there are no chips or cracks bottle is in wonderful condition.

It is quite a gem for any Collector. I'm ready to sell make me a reasonable offer.

I had to contact the owner of Lubin

Gilles Thévenin, to find out what year this bottle was created. I was very delighted that he reached out back to me and let me know the details.

The wonderful perfume house Lubin was founded in 1798 by Pierre François Lubin, just following the French Revolution. After perfuming the greatest Kings, Empresses and Tsars of Europe, Lubin expanded across the Atlantic in the 1850s, and enjoyed dazzling success until its decline at the end of the 20th century. In 2004, Gilles Thévenin, the owner and artistic director of the house of Lubin in his offices. Gilles Thévenin, a great perfume lover and former creative director of Guerlain, gave a new life to this historic house.
