Description
Fragonard miniature perfume bottle, "Mélodie" model. The bottle shown in the photo has a rectangular shape with rounded corners and decorative facets on the sides. The transparent glass reveals a luminous amber liquid, typical of vintage perfumes. The front has a white paper label, clearly displaying "Fragonard Grasse" and the name "Mélodie" in capital letters, followed by "Parfum" at the bottom of the label. The cap, with a matte white and smooth appearance, contrasts with the bottle's shine.

The bottle stands out with its lateral reliefs that catch the light, evoking a refined and timeless aesthetic. The overall design offers a classic style, characteristic of 20th-century French perfume miniatures. No additional decoration, inscription, or illustration is visible on the photographed side. The bottom of the bottle remains flat and without apparent decoration in the visible area.

The perfume's color, a rich golden yellow, suggests a concentrated liquid, typical of pure perfume or extrait formulations. The well-centered label shows slight yellowing due to age, enhancing the vintage appeal of this piece. The cap, with a sober appearance, seems well-fitted with no major signs of wear on the visible part.

This type of miniature bottle was frequently used for samples, gift sets, or display items in traditional perfumeries. The ensemble evokes the expertise of Maison Fragonard, located in Grasse, the world's perfume capital.
