I loved the cream sachet of Pretty Peach when I was young.  Is the juice in the vintage bottles still good?  If so that is pretty amazing; they date back to the 1960s.

http://fimgs.net/images/perfume/m.2311.jpg Avon Topaze was my mother's favourite. Hers was the classic yellow atomiser with the plastic gemstone on the cap.

She also had Somewhere, Occur, Rapture and Wishing, possibly Charisma and Moonwind as well.

Just for old time's sake I'm looking out for these vintages but trying to avoid all those novelty bottles, which is easier said than done!

belle histoire

Re: Vintage and Discontinued avon Scents

My late Aunt was a big Avon fan back in the 1970's. When Avon came out with a perfume, she got it. My fave was Avon's Arianne, which was like this super-floral and I remember thinking back then (I was 11 @ the time) that it was just so femminine.http://www.fragrantica.com/board/img/smilies/stolt.gif

Re: Vintage and Discontinued avon Scents

I would pay a lot for a bottle of Avon's Brocade.  I found a website that said they could duplicate it, and that they had a bottle of it to use to be able to copy it.  Has anybody had success with these companies duplicating discontinued scents?  I haven't seen Brocade since the mid '70's.

Re: Vintage and Discontinued avon Scents

Anyone have any experience with Avon Splendor?

Re: Vintage and Discontinued avon Scents

I was at a thrift store today and found a vintage bottle of Avon Clint. Its not in the database. I think it was inspired by Clint Eastwood. It smells exactly like Aramis. It cost me $4. What a deal! I am loving its potent chypre character!

Re: Vintage and Discontinued avon Scents

I wish I had bought Always and Blue Rush for her while I still had the chance. Kept waiting for them to get discounted, then the next thing I realise is that they've vanished! discontinued from Australia. Pity... really adored those two.

Re: Vintage and Discontinued avon Scents

http://fimgs.net/images/perfume/m.11857.jpg  Avon Ariane

Re: Vintage and Discontinued avon Scents

I would love to find  some  avon ariane products.  Even a candle would do. 

Re: Vintage and Discontinued avon Scents

I've had very good luck finding vintage Avon perfumes in our local thrift shops. The bottles are not 100% full anymore but they are genuine. I have all of my favorites and even a few I've never heard of before. I'm still looking for Topaze. I now regret not buying that tall yellow bottle similar to what my mother used to have. It had very little perfume left in it so I passed it up. I have Moonwind, Charisma, Field Flowers, Sweet Honesty, Occur, Hawaiian White Ginger, Bird of Paradise, Natori, Pearls and Lace, Diane von Furstenburg Forest Lily, Contrast, Sunny Sky, Millenia, Undeniable, Sunrise, etc.

The Lord is my strength and my song.

Re: Vintage and Discontinued avon Scents

I had: Apple Blossom, Roses Roses, Field Flowers, Nearness, Ariane, loved those and are all empty, had always 2 bottles of each. My daughter broke my bottle of Toccara-Surreal called in Europe, never had it again cause had only one of it.

I have still Sweet Honesty, Candid, Timeless, Treselle Silver.

And some more older ones double new Charisma, Elegance, Occur, Unspoken, Emprise. Cause my daughther didn't like them I never used all up, so second bottles are still new back in the cubboard. My taste changed a lot to, more fruity-floral and roses.

So if anyone wants something real badly contact me, due to the high postage is why I never began to trade in the first place. Thought it didn't make sence to send back to USA where they are made. Only once trade a bottle in Europe.

Re: Vintage and Discontinued avon Scents

Love this thread girls as i think every women has been touched by "The Avon Lady" at some time in their life. I remember when our Avon Lady would call on my mum with a lovely basket over her arm with all the lovely things available to test and order. She always stayed for a cup of tea and mum always ordered some little thing even when she really couldnt afford it. I remember my gorgeous mum who i lost 3 years ago had a little white jar of Wishing cream perfume on her dressing table and she would let me look at it. She kept it long after it was enpty.It had a little gold wishbone on the lid. Wish i still had it! She also had Bird of Paradise in a lovely exotic bird shaped  bottle which i though was so special and elegant. I was on holidays last week and searched second hand shops for any old perfumes. I did see some Bird of Paradise in a funny little bottle but didnt buy it. Silly me! Also i remember loving Roses Roses which is funny because im a roses fanatic now 35 years later.  Wish they would bring it back!

Re: Vintage and Discontinued avon Scents

Sissi- I recently picked up a couple of vintage Avons @ a local vintage/antique shop. Arianne( almost died when I saw it as I had not smelt it since 1979) and Charisma( my Aunt used to wear it all the time.) These were very well preserved as there was hardly any rancidity all. The Arianne is the big floral I remember and the Charisma has that soapy feel.

I say comb your vintage/antique shops, Ebay and thrift stores on a weekly basis. I found some Le Dix de Balenciaga last week. Good Luck.
