WOW, what a find!!! I would have thrown my entire wallet in the counter, grabbed the whole tray, ran to my car and stroked each one while reciting "My pretties". lol
LOL! ... ditto.
LOL!!! :D
ME TOO!! Shut up and take my money!
Me too......and I would ask for more!!!!!
😭😭😭😭😭
When I go to England I always go to some small pharmacy shops, usually owned by Indian people, and they usually have some perfumes, hidden gems, the ones before the reformulations and the ones hard to find, love it!
Lou Lou smells so beautiful.
First bottle of perfume I bought with my first paycheck. After graduating high school in 1989.
whooow... jackpoottt!!! lanvin arpege, poeme, safari, toccadily, loulou, anaisanais, noa, carven ma griffe, paris... literally JACKPOT 😍😍😍
I remember the Lou Lou mini. I use to have that as a kid. It can be used as a weapon too.
Omg i would push everybody out of my way to get to them as quickly as i could lol
Natalia Kasiura LOL that's exactly what I did at a thrift store!! I did the matrix like Keanu Reeves 😉& hey I got about 15 bottles of perfume that day..👍I was so proud LOL 😆
Jackpot for sure!!! You got a vintage Safari???!!!! Those are sought after! If you like aldehydic perfumes, this one is a good one. I got a new version bottle last week. Not too terribly sharp and dries down to a nice soft green and woody or earthy smell. NICE!
*You Hit The Jackpot!* I just showed my husband your image of the box and his mouth fell open. lol.
Tropical Punch is one of my favorite Escada scents, just try it & wait for the amazing dry down. They used to be much better than they are today.
The Paloma Picasso is half full but it's one amazing scent.
The Paris has probably lost the top notes, it is darker than it should be.
Obsession has always been dark, (amber)so it'll be fine.
Orchidee (Yves Rocher) is beautiful!
Ma Griffe is gorgeous, will be interested to hear how you feel.
Safari is one of my all time faves.
From what I can tell, someone took great care of these!! Only thing, if the rest are still there, you missed some good ones, just saying. ;) Also, good to keep the boxes in case you wish to Swap or Sell because minis are always desirable.
Ooohhh can't wait to try them! Thank so much for the suggestions :D I'll probably keep these on display somewhere in my house. They're just so pretty to look at!
Love Anais Anais, and you got an older (good) bottle, as I think I see the loop around the brand name, Cacharel. That loop has been missing for years. Lots of lovely classics in this haul!
So cute! Yes. Obsession is from the early 90s. Your camera did focus well when you zoomed in the bottles & it was appreciated. My Mom had Pleasures, buton me, it didn't last. Hugo BOSS was everywhere in the late 90s! Cheers to thrift stores & smelling great in 2021! Like you, I do find deeper-toned "juices" are more bold. I tend to gravitate to them when I need a boost for a long, intense work day as my mojo. They give me that "umph" factor, if that makes sense.
When I was 12, everybody in the classroom was simply wearing patchouli essence and I liked it a lot !!!! It was terribly strong though.
Then, a few girls started wearing a quite fascinating Paco Rabanne fragrance for men, but I don’t know which one it was.
When I was a teen, I liked Yves Rocher fragrances : Magnolia, Orchidée and particularly Chèvefeuille (still have a bottle and spray it when I want to feel happy). Then I also wore Nahema from Guerlain, Fidji from Guy Laroche, Ivoire from Balmain, Eau de Givenchy (my go to for the summer), l’Air du Temps from Nina Ricci (has been my signature scent for years), Dior Dune, l’Instant de Guerlain, I was in love with Boucheron and Fascinated by YSL Opium (the real one, not the current sugary water called Black Opium).
Thank you so much for bringing back so good memories Arlene ! I’ve been wearing Orchidée when I was a teenager (end of the 1970s), Anaïs Anaïs (that was considered as « irresistible » ) in the 1980s and Loulou in the 1990s.
I also liked Obsession 🙂
Yes, start with thr Lanvin! What a superb moment to find!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful find of mini treasures! I love your new do, very chic ;) If you still have Venezia for women by Biagiotti, I would love to hear your review. I have read some blogger raves about the original version, but it seems completely unavailable. So I've thought about blind buying the re-release. Comparison reviews I've read don't favor much the newer version though.
very good selection for perfumista - all of them are classics!! i also have few of these. i think you will like obsession, jil sander no.4 and lou lou, those are the most complex dark poisonous oriental
Living vicariously through your good finds!
I wore White Linen for years during the early 80’s. I miss it so much! It’s really lovely in hot weather!
I’ve worn all of the ladies perfumes from this haul. You are lucky to have stumbled upon this collection. My Signature scents in the 80’s were Paloma Picasso, Paris, Safari and White Linen.
Dark color means there is vanilla in the composition. The top notes may have faded but the vanilla base is still good. Thank you.
I just discovered Ralph Lauren Safari vintage via eBay. Two words: Dominique Ropion! If it were a just released niche, it would be lauded by fragcom. It’s a masterpiece! I’m addicted and buying up vintage bottles. I agree with dark juice prejudice. Lol.
Safari is WONDERFUL. I bought it to go on actual safari. It is rich and lush, it's not a camping safari, it's an Old Hollywood style safari. Out of Africa. I adore it!
Wow! What a score, Arlene! Such a deal. I love thrift stores. I love the thrill of the hunt, too many interests to mention, so I understand your feelings totally! Jackpot!!!!
Ohhh a vintage bottle of Jil Sander No. 4! Funny, I had a decant of that for like a year which I hated when I first tried it. It just sat in my drawer and I was going to sell it. Then I just tried it again the other day and loved it. I was reading reviews and a lot of people seemed to have similar reactions. Now I want to hunt down a vintage bottle.
This whole collection is such an awesome find!
That's a neat little bottle. 3:29 .
The best part of a flea market,thrift store or garage sale is the haggling .
Try not to use the words when bartering on a price _I'll give you_ .
Instead, be courteous and say something like _Would you consider_ on your opening offer.
If they reject you first lower price, wait just a second or three and see if they counter .
If not , try and raise yours a little higher. When doing so, make sure you open with ,
_I am sorry if I offended you with my offer, but would you consider this_
Arlene , since you bought so many, you could offer a *Lump Sum Buy* price.
Lump sum buy offers are great,for it means the seller is getting rid of more then one.
Watch _American Pickers_ on You Tube to get a feel for this.
Remember , they are selling it because they want to get rid of it.
Heya! To be honest, haggling didn't even cross my mind. Prices in Canada at thrift stores aren't negotiable so I guess I assumed it would be the same in Holland. I'll definitely have to give it a try next time. Pawn shops are a different story though. :)
You're right you're right.
Thrift stores can be different .
I have negotiated a few times for better prices at some thrifts ,
but other thrift prices are set.
I hate when people haggle over already dirt cheap prices! It's tacky and infuriating as hell. IMO
Jil Sander No 4 is a standout for me, I've been wearing it for over 15 years now, I'd describe it as "weird but wearable". It's been years now, but I once ran into another lady wearing it, I said, "Jill Sander?" She was like, "Wow!! You recognize it?!!" Fond memories, it's warm and wonderful to me.
DAYUM. You are so lucky. I would faint dead on the spot if I found these. YSL Paris, Poeme, LouLou, White Linen, Jill Sander. What a treasure. Enjoy!
Heya Paige! So nice to hear from you again :D
The Obsession bottle is actually the pure perfume!! Super rare... hope you still have it..
Yes I do!
I was a catalog customer of yves rocher for yeeears and i had orchedee and nuit de orchidee!
I LOVE Poeme by Lancome! It smells very dreamy and vintage! 💖
Thank you for sharing this story! ❤
Good hunting!!! I'm going to have to try thrift stores for perfume, you've done a vlog about this...Your hair looks nice as well! X
Great video! I have 150* minis and they will probably go to a thrift store someday.
What great finds ! Would love to see a first impressions video of them :) I used to wear anais anais when I was young .
As man your video reminded me of my mom and her perfumes that I try to find everywhere I go! From Paris to Tresor to Boicheron to white diamonds to Dune 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ooooh that Arpege, I would love to sniff. Supposedly that was Marilyn Monroe's second fave to Chanel 5.
Nice little collection :) these were sold as collectables,mostly probably lost their original smell,that's why no one bought them? I also collect minis, they look cute,but I don't smell them lol 🤭🤣
Great haul! I've heard of a few - own quite a few vintage minis myself but they're splashes and I never wear them over a bottle :(
I've seen Volupté in the box.. The one with the green lid. Let us know your thoughts!
Blast from the past, I used to love Lou Lou and Tropical Punch when they first came out! (Showing my age here lol.) 😁
Hi Kiki! I'll definitely give those a test very soon :D
Awesome find! Obsession was my signature for a while in the late nineties, early 2000's. I still think it's awesome but I wore myself out on it. I used to have Lanvin Arpege as well, it was too strong on the aldehydes for me at the time. I would love to hear your thoughts on Lou Lou, Paloma Picasso, Safari, The Truth and Poeme. Also, I think pdt is a concentration between eau de toilette and eau de parfume...like almost concentrated enough to be a edp but not quite??? I do the same with the color of the juice!
I'll likely be doing a first impressions on some of these in the near future. Hope all is well hun :D
You lucky girl, Arlene :-) You must have been sooo excited. Most of the bottles have a lot of juice left too. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on some of those vintage classics! I found a good 3/4 full 100ml bottle of Jo Malone Vetyver in a charity shop for £8 a few weeks ago. Boring citrusy frag that lasted the usual Jo Malone 5 mins, but I put it straight on eBay, and somebody offered me £45 on the first day. I took it.
Mahoosive hugs to you, sweet lady :-)))
Wow that's awesome! And more perfume money :) Huggies back to you hun!
What a lucky find! My kringloop was selling EMPTY vintage mini bottles for €2 each :/ damn Amsterdam prices haha! Btw I really enjoy your videos :)
Ouch! Amsterdam is indeed freaking expensive! :(
What a treasure trove Arlene!!! I definitely hope you will do first impressions videos on all of these!! I can't wait! xo Lisa
holy cow that ysl paris was very dark . i wonder if it had gone bad or gotten better with age. paris has a really beautiful rose scent. even edt back in the day was strong. but, i loved it. it's watered down now, what i hear.
Good catch. Next time offer them €0.25 a piece for the whole basket 😸
Great haul of minis! They are all so cute. I would definitely put them on a shelf for display, 'cause I love things like that...So nice to look at. :) Calvin Klein Truth is a beautiful, humid-green. Love it in late summer/cooler days/nights of Fall. I also like Lou Lou (I have the same vintage mini-bottle!) I do hope you are planning to give us some reviews of these fragrances, Arlene. I'm so curious to see what you think about them.
Heya! They're on display right now and I do catch myself staring at them often LOL. Perhaps I'll do a first impressions on some of these soon enough. Hugs! :D
Wow! What a find. Anais Anais was my first perfume....I think I was 13 years old. Loved the bottle even then.
Wonderful finds! Paloma Picasso used to be my signature, I had a 50ml round bottle with stopper. ... it was to die for, then I had the elongated one with spray nozzle, still good but not as rich and powerful as the first one. Anaïs Anaïs is a beautiful nostalgic powdery floral, Pleasures is also flowery but on the fresh side of the spectrum. Noa is light as feathers but the coffee note makes it interesting. I didn't like Lou Lou at the time, I was more into like floral citruses and chypres, but I understand it's a very interesting scent. Enjoy your finds!
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on these :D
Amazing mini haul Arlene!! I get that way when I find some good stuff in the antiques malls too :) I have a lot of those in mini as well - some great finds in there, lots of classics that every perfumista should try at least once. One of my own favorite finds was a very old mini of CK Obsession that had partially evaporated into a dark, tarry substance, but I am telling you that is one KILLER fragrance - the best version of Obsession I've ever tried. I have some vintage edp that I am purposely evaporating to replicate it. It's amazing stuff. Some of the mini's and vintages don't age very well, but there are some that really do get better. Oh gosh, I would kill for that Orchidee, and the little YSL Paris :)
Yes I really love CK Obsession as well! :D
I don't use perfume but I love the bottles, I have some and use them for my miniature dollhouse ideas
… and also Quartz de Molyneux for a very long time in the 1980s 🥰
Oh my gosh, that's so exciting! Congrats on such a great find and price! Those bottles are so neato! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on any of those in the future if you do any reviews.
Amazing 🤩
I like Calvin Klein Truth. It was one of the first perfumes to perk my interest in perfumes. Bought it at Shoppers Drug Mart for $19.99. It is very light and fresh and smells like freshly cut grass and all the other smells of spring. Love it!
That sounds lovely! I'll definitely give that one a go :D
So fun! thanks for sharing these cuties!! As far as the juice of Obsession,, it is a correct color vintage or new release.. the YSL Paris one is probably turned, but still great to have.
What a great idea! I would have never thought of hunting a vintage/thrift store.
Omg, I love minis! You were so lucky to find them. Enjoy!
those were fun little bottles. I recognized a lot of them like lulu. I have a little bundle from an estate sale and they are all really really old like from the 50's. I'm not aure if perfume ages like wine but they all have an aged smell or maybe perfume was just different smelling back then. they are fun to collect!
What an epic steal !!!!
Some of them are great finds. After you try them all, tell us which ones you would seriously consider purchasing in full size.
Enjoy 😊
I love minis and I am a thrift store old-timer been going since I was little and I really don't enjoy shopping any other way. That's so cool that you live in Holland! I never liked Obsession...I used to be a shampoo girl as a teen and Obsession always smelled like dirty hair to me.
nice find 😍😍😍 Noa n anais anais really make me wish to smell something from my smartphone 😅😅😅
I used to have the lancome poem. Strong on initial spritz but its great when it dry down
I just bought all four bottles of Lancome available at our local retailer for my wife and daughters, Poeme, Tresor aimed more for the wife and Miracle and Hypnose for the two daughters. I'm extremely picky and Lancome just blew me away with how bold and courageous their fragrances were while remaining somewhat conservative. It gave me the impression of strong outgoing independent modern woman that enjoyed and celebrated all her freedoms yet embraced her femininity. Consistency across the range like there is only one artisan behind the line
LMAOOOOOOOOOO @1:29 HA! So relatable. Idda been loosing my shit to. LMAOOO! What perfume lover WOULDN'T??
What a score. I don't have many minis. But this made me breathe heavy.
What a found !!! I have truth and obsession there are really strong they are both by Calvin Klein
I have had several of them! great haul !
Wow. What a deal. They are so cute!
This was awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Heya! So nice to see you drop by. Keep up the great work on your channel! :D
safari was awesome stuff,,
🙏Please review your finds. So interested in your take. You found beauties! Last yr, I caught a 6.8 oz full bottle of Chanel Les Exclusives Coromandel EDT at a Seattle Goodwill. 9001 batch code + dark ambery color meant Feb '07 batch, a 1st edition. Seattle GW new their stuff enough to price it at $159, but still a steal compared to what the EDT goes for these days. :)
Thanks for the suggestion...I'll definitely keep it in mind :D
Hi!! I can imagine that bliss when you saw that little tray! aaand the price!
I´m in love with everything related to fragrance
I just moved to The Hague some months ago and would love to have a look at thrift stores! how are they called in Dutch?
Do you recommend any website for buying perfumes (new/used) in the NL? ♥
Kringloop
Where do you import these perfumes?
You got a really great deal, great video beautiful.
How is the Ma Griffe?
Where in holland was this?

You hit the jackpot! =)
What's your opinion on Poeme by Lancome? keep up the good work, love your videos :)
I've not tried it. Perhaps I'll do a video on some of these sometime. :)
LOVELY
Very lucky, I love minis, 😘

Ooohh CK One is still one of my faves! :D It reminds me of high school.
Ms fili I love CK1
Is your hair natural colored like that? Or did you do it?
Please, make a video on Carven - Ma Griffe
One time I found miniatures and the price was $0,17 dollars or $10 Argentinian pesos
Lucky! :D
Paloma ...🥰🥰🥰

Are interested in selling the minis?
die oude Yves Rocher dat weet ik nog....
Waaaaeoooo....osam...
Miniatures vintage perfumes smells awful. I just bought mine few weeks ago and i just wasted my money on it. Smells like old sour vinegar🤮🤮🤮
and you bought them? the juice inside them is already rancid and no good for use. lol.
