Noir Premiere Rose Royale Perfume for Women - Eau de Parfum Spray 3.3 oz Unisex (1935)

Noir Premiere Rose Royale Perfume for Women by Lalique is catalogued as a unisex fragrance. An eau de parfum sits in the upper half of the concentration scale: strong enough to carry through a working day, restrained enough to wear in an office. Spray onto pulse points — wrists, the base of the throat, behind the ears — from about 15 cm away, and let it dry instead of rubbing it in. Whether it is discounted this week says more about the shop's stock than about the product. Heat and light are what spoil a fragrance, not age — stored properly, an unopened bottle keeps its character for a long time. Whoever is cheapest today may not be tomorrow, so it is worth looking again before settling on the best deal.
