Miniature vintage Valentino perfume in box - rare retro eau de toilette

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Miniature perfume from the house of Valentino, presented in its original box. The visible bottle is elongated, made of clear glass, with vertical ridges and an opaque frosted-effect sculpted cap. The liquid inside has a golden yellow hue, typical of classic eau de toilettes.

The deep red cardboard box bears the inscription "Valentino" in gold letters, accompanied by the brand's characteristic "V" logo. Two decorative white lines adorn the top and bottom of the case. The inscription "Eau de Toilette" appears at the bottom of the front face. The edges of the box show slight wear, visible on the lower right corner, without affecting the readability of the markings.

The miniature bottle, designed to evoke the timeless elegance of the house of Valentino, stands out for its refined presentation. The elaborate cap contrasts with the simplicity of the bottle's body, offering a pleasant grip and a sophisticated visual rendering. No markings are visible on the bottle itself; recognition is made through association with the box.

This type of miniature was often intended for gift sets or for brand promotion during perfume launches. The set suggests production from the 1980s-1990s, a period when perfume miniatures were particularly prized for their presentation quality and decorative dimension.

Both the box and the bottle are in good overall condition, with a patina consistent with a period object. The colors remain vibrant and the inscriptions are clear. No chips or major defects are observable on the visible face of the bottle or the case.

Condition: Used item, sold as is. Slight signs of wear visible on the box, bottle in very good visual condition.
