At Le Parfumier, we believe that every scent tells a story. Perfume possesses a unique ability to transport us to places, times, and even people. With each time period comes the allure of a new scent. Throughout history we’ve seen scents come and go, however, many remain timeless enough to give us a glimmer into the past and allow us to experience forgotten times.
Le Parfumier’s selection of vintage and rare perfumes includes an exquisite range of discontinued and challenging to source fragrances from the top brands.
Vintage perfume refers to fragrances that were created in the past. As time goes on, fragrances are reformulated or discontinued by brands for a variety of reasons. When it comes to reformulations, they typically occur as a result of the need to change an ingredient due to a lack of availability or regulatory requirements. Regardless of the cause, anytime a fragrance is reformulated, it will inevitably smell different than the original.
What makes vintage perfumes so highly coveted is that many of them were created before the 2000’s and were crafted using traditional methods. The quality of ingredients, richness and depth of the scent, and timelessness that they evoke are something that cannot easily be replicated by contemporary fragrances.
Vintage scents are often highly sought after and considered to be rare perfumes. Their rarity can be caused by a variety of factors but typically results from formula changes and discontinuation. There is nothing worse than discovering that your signature scent has been discontinued, but the fact is that you aren’t alone. When fragrances become discontinued, shoppers tend to stock up quickly on the remaining supply!
At Le Parfumier, our selection includes some of the most challenging to find rare vintage fragrances. If there is a scent you’ve been on the hunt for, there’s a chance we have it! Shop our selection online today and check our vintage selection regularly for new arrivals.
