Perfume Saga - Episode 1 - Duking it out on Ebay

Its Friday night and I decide what perfume goodies, might I find Ebay?  Seeing as I don't have much of a budget, I went to see what low cost gems I could sneak a bid on at the last minute.


First attempt - A vintage bottle of JOY, in its original box with about 1/3 of the perfume left in it.  It had 4 bids and was at $18.50.  I decided to employ my patent pending, sure way of winning an Ebay auction method(Of course I can not share it with you!), but my husband, Mr Pesky Pessimissm, insisted, I was waiting too long and so  I bid to early, and lost out.  It went for $26.25






Second Attempt - A lot of 6 vintage perfume bottles full of perfume.  The bottles looked a little dusty, but I wondered what bottled gold was held within.  1 bidder $0.99, 16 minutes to go.  Here is what was in the lot;
  • Figurine Cologne
  • Countess Maritza Silent Night Toilet Water
  • 20 Carats Cologne
  • Quelques Fleurs
  • Chantilly Houbigant
  • Cytherea Paris

So with Pesky Pessimism temporarily gone, I waited like a tiger in the jungle for the right moment and then..... wait for it...... POUNCE!  Its mine.  $5.50 plus shipping.  I am now the proud owner of the above vintage scents, and of course I have no idea what I own, so I am itching to get my research on.  And of course I can't wait to smell them, but by looks of them, I hope they have aged well........

So now I wait for my package to arrive.  I let you know if it was worth it.
