Zibeline Weil for women

I read the statement from Imore above about perfumes turning. The line that has Secret De Venus and Zibeline, I have noticed stay intact, as long as they were kept in the right environment, such as out of sun light, in a cool, dark area. I helped a friend find a 25 year old Secret De Venus and I was amazed it had remained exactly as she explained and expected. I spoke with a Prof Perfumer in England and he told me that although unusual, some raw materials can keep a scent intact for many years. They are naturally preservative, or prevent any bacteria due to the nature of the raw material. Typically this is only 15 years in the right environment. But the original Secret De Venus, as most know is no longer made. A terrible newer version now exhist, that is nothing like the original. So perfume officionados, if you don't mind paying the huge price and taking a chance, I do see it available on line. But personally, I would find a similar perfume. But again, you will be taking a chance.

Absolutely beautiful fragrance. I just received my zibeline today. I have to say another classic I'm in love with. Simply old school to my nose. I don't know how the original formulation smells but this formulation is simply georgouse, sophisticated, soft and femenine with great elegance.

I have the remains of a bottle of Zibeline Secret of Venus - this form was akin to a bath oil, low on alcohol and warmer smelling than eau de parfum. It came in a bottle with sides that curved inward from the bottom and top. I bought my bottle in 1977 and today, the little that is left smells EXACTLY as it did when new. According to Joan Juliet Buck, former editor of French VOGUE, men often wore Zibeline in the 1950s.

I am totally with Imoore here! I have perfume bottles from the 60's (Madame Rochas) and they only whished they could make perfume as good as back then.....

I don not understand the raves about old perfumes being intact!

Alcohol preserves most of the real ingredients and if it is kept in a COLD DARK place it can last and last.
Does Perfumes Have an Expiration Date?

NO, UNLESS KEPT BADLY, AND THEREFORE THEY TURNED!

All I can tell you is it (Zibeline)her favorite, has a wonderful,scensual fragrance,it makes my wife very Happy and that makes me very happy!! (for the last 30 years and hopefully many more)

I am cheating on CHUNGA with this fragrance, and beating myself up for it!
Every woman deserves a Zibeline perfume!
(I would not put the fur on though!)

Some vintage scent doesn´t suit me at all but some do. Problem is that it´s hard to know before trying and they´re not the easiest thing sampling either since one formulation can different from another so very much...

I bought a vintage bottle of Zibeline unsniffed only based on reviews and kept my fingers crossed that it would suit me and...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is glorious. A masterpiece of long time gone elegance, femininity and refinement. My bottle are at least about 50 years old, still it has zingy top notes of bright citrus mixed with some sweet and creamy notes,the floral notes chimes in and add a powdery softness, but built under with real deal amber and civet!

This is so cool, I enjoy it so much and for being a vintage this is not at all dated or difficult to wear, I can very well imagine that it suit women in all ages. If you happen to stumble upon a vintage bottle of Zibeline it´s really a must in any perfume collection.

Are you experienced? If so,then consume some giggle water and take a trip back in time with this "Real McCoy" of a fragrance. THINK: Roaring 20's with the guys in their zoot suits and the dolls in their flappers. THINK: of "Putting on the Ritz" while wearing sumptuous Parisian ermine or imperial Russian sable. Are you ready to dive in for some real razzmatazz? If so then lay on some vintage "hotsy-totsy" Zibeline for the ride of your life, no doubt it's the "cat's meow"!

The extrait of this timeless animalic scent with it's leathery, buttery, woody amber is a retro explosion that should be savored. In all it's glory it is powerful and sexy and although some define it's buttery richness as skanky I beg to differ and say more "swanky"! With it's subtle fruit and floral combination this civet pronounced wonder is the "living end"

In conclusion, because of the change of ownerships and the reformation of this scent, which unfortunately is a mere reflection of the original aroma, I highly recommend all perfume collectors to pass on the current formulation and scour the market to obtain an original bottle of this keen copacetic creation.

I like this perfume, and I am bordering on love.

It's spicy, wich is my favorite style of all time. It's airy- but the base notes make it weighty, too, so the compostion doesn't float away. At first it reminded me of Norell, because of it's complexity and heaviness. At moments it reminds me of Gucci eau de parfum because of the taragon in combo with the other spices being similar to caraway in Gucci, and because of Zibelienes resionous qualities.

However, Zibeliene is much more refined, sofisticated, and delicate than the afformentioned...and any others that it reminds me of. Great balance in the composition, the variety of spices aren't fading, it's all lively and full of charachter. I get a bit of a hippie vibe here too, and I want to say "I dig it !"

Ah, and I suppose I am just realizing it now. What a unique touch-aldehydes on spicy, earthy, and thick notes. This is great. I like it more than Coco Chanel that I tested recently. Yes, Coco is wonderful, but, it didn't change much, it's prescence wasn't as noticeable or intriguing for me in the way that Zibeline is. Oh, yes, and no vanilla here..

Yes, Strange review here. Nothing monotone, simple, or exaclty something I can describe with one tone, or idea, one direction of how to describe it.

Simply a classic in perfumery standards.

Fantastic.

Oh my goodness I have to get some of this ! What a wonderful review .
