Miniature perfume Quartz Molyneux vintage old bottle Paris rare
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
Perfume miniature shown in the photo, identifiable as a vintage Molyneux Paris bottle for the fragrance Quartz. The bottle has a compact cylindrical shape, with a transparent base revealing the liquid inside and an opaque, dark blue upper part, marked with a white screen print stating "QUARTZ MOLYNEUX PARIS" on the visible side. The flat, clear-finished stopper sits flush with the top of the bottle and contrasts with the deep blue of the main body.
The transparency of the glass at the base allows for observation of the perfume's hue, a slightly pale yellow, typical of certain vintage compositions. The screen print is clear, with no apparent wear on the front. This miniature format is characteristic of older editions of French perfume houses, used for discovery or collection purposes.
The overall design presents a sober and elegant aesthetic, true to the spirit of classic Molyneux fragrances. No superfluous decoration is visible, the design relying on the purity of lines and the legibility of the brand. The general condition appears good according to the photo, with no chips, cracks, or major scratches observable on the exposed part.
The style of the bottle suggests production likely from the 1980s or 1990s, a period during which Quartz was a staple of French perfumery. The cylindrical shape and the typography of the logo correspond to the minimalist and refined aesthetic of that era. The mention "Paris" places the perfume within the tradition of Parisian luxury houses.
The bottle is photographed standing on a light surface, with a slightly blurred background that highlights its silhouette and the glass's brilliance. No details are visible on the back or bottom of the bottle.
Condition
Second-hand item, sold as is. Possible presence of minor signs of use, due to the age of the bottle. The front screen print is intact and the liquid is visible in the bottle.
