Breidenbach Rose De L'empire

This was THE most difficult bottle to photograph.   It's not quite as sqaut as it looks, in fact it's really quite an elegant little bottle.  I bought this at a farm clearing sale in a combined lot with a modern man's wristwatch and a little limoge plate! AU$20 the lot - I thought that was a good buy.  The gold label has oxodised but reads quite clearly Rose De L'empire  Breidenbach London.   On the base of the bottle is a small label - "The strength of odour in this perfume is so great that the smallest quantity only should be used at a time". 

11cm  or 4.25inches tall.

Laroona La France

This is a fairly tatty example of this bottle but better than none.   A pretty floral label in a fairly stock standard type bottle.   The remains of a ribbon and neck label complete the bottle.   In pristine condition this would have been a very pretty bottle.

Laroona purse or sample bottle

                                            

I don't know what scent would have been in this sample or purse phial.   There is a long dauber in the bottle which unfortunately has been broken off at the end. 7cm or 2.5 inches long.  The label is a simple trademark style label. 

Crown Chemical Company Old English Lavender Water with Musk

It's quite difficult to read this label even if you are holding the bottle in your hand.   It has a small label at the bottom from Crown Chemical Co Melbourne.   The large label has an embossed art nouveau design with the words Olde English Lavender Water with Musk.

Laroona Lavender & Musk

                     

Another of my favourite Laroona Bottles.   Gorgeous label with an art   nouveau design so probably dating pre 1920. Only quite a small bottle at  15.5cm or 6inches.
