Offered is a vintage new in box 60ml/2oz splash bottle of pure parfum en crystal flacon. No evaporation or increase in viscosity, and only mild darkening of the liquid. A rarity in this giant size! Pre-barcode, so produced before 1983. There is no lot number, however the box came with a hand-written sticker with a date of November 1979. Given the style of the box and bottle, I assume this date is very close to the time the bottle was acquired by its original owner.
