Miniature First Van Cleef & Arpels vintage retro eau de toilette perfume

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Perfume miniature shown in the photo, it is a "First" eau de toilette bottle by Van Cleef & Arpels, Paris. The bottle has a characteristic rounded and flattened shape, with a massive stopper featuring a wide central ring, with a shiny silver finish. The glass of the bottle is translucent, revealing the golden yellow liquid inside. The black screen-printed label clearly indicates "eau de toilette", "First de Van Cleef & Arpels Paris".

The upper part of the bottle immediately catches the eye with its sculptural, retro-style cap, reminiscent of the luxurious creations of 1970s-80s perfume houses. The ensemble offers an elegant and refined appearance, highlighted by the brilliance of the stopper and the transparency of the glass. The contours of the bottle are smooth, without additional decoration or pattern, for a sober and timeless aesthetic.

The bottle is photographed on a wooden surface, under natural light, which highlights the warm hue of the perfume and the metallic reflections of the stopper. No major defects are visible on the displayed side: no apparent scratches, nor chips on the glass or the cap. The screen printing is clear and perfectly legible on the visible area.

The general presentation corresponds to a collector's perfume miniature, typical of Van Cleef & Arpels' productions. The typography and design of the bottle evoke a creation from the second half of the 20th century, probably designed to reflect the brand's prestige and the refinement of its perfume line.

Condition

Used item, sold as is, as seen in the photo. Bottle with partially filled liquid level, no major apparent defects on the visible side. Screen printing intact on the front part.

Did you know? First, created in 1976, is the very first perfume launched by Van Cleef & Arpels. It was designed by the famous perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, and its bottle is inspired by the brand's signature jewelry motifs, recalling the world of luxury and high jewelry.
