Eclectic, quirky, and sometimes edgy…this is how things look from my front porch.

Emeraude - Vintage Perfume Bottle

My grandmother always wore Emeraude perfume by Coty.
Emeraude is French for emerald.  It was first introduced in 1921. Helen wore it all her life.   This gorgeous ad is from the late 1940's or early 1950's.

The vintage perfume bottle pictured in the top picture was around for as long as I remember, perhaps influenced by the perfume she loved.  It once sat on the windowsill, the middle one, at 23 Wind Road East Hartford, Connecticut above the rosewood love seat with the muted floral pattern.

There are other beautiful perfume atomizers and bottles without or without a  vintage bulb device which are quite beautiful.





Still, Helen's vintage perfume bottle is the most beautiful in my eyes, because it belonged to her.
