Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I had a surprise vistor today who just dropped by to give me a book she had promised me months ago. " The Art of Perfume " Discovering and Collecting Perfume Bottles by Christie Mayer Lefkowith. Oh my Goddess!!!Some of the bottles are superb, fantastic, ingenious works of art. Bottles so exquisite...some ornate others plain, some packaged in amazing leather boxes, which are like....ok I cannot describe them so well. I will find out if I am allowed to photocopy some of my favourites and post them into the photos section, it might be alright if I put the source name. I will find out. I know we have at least one collector of perfume bottles on the group. Has anybody ever seen the book I am raving about?

Back in 98, when I was putting up my first perfume webpages, I copied some of her photos off her website, and wrote her asking if I could use them, telling her the page was only put up that day for her to view. She just about bit my head off. Good luck. I have a lot of the original jpgs if she gives the OK.

I checked them out in order to get the story on my lovely little green cut glass and crystal bottle that is pictured in the Photos section of NP. If you can't find the book to purchase, I would recommend seeing if your local library system carries it. Not quite the same as pulling it off your bookshelf whenever you want to take a decadent little visual journey, but still great inspiration. Cheers!
