Laura: Oh, man!! I WANT that bottle! I NEED that bottle! December 8, 2005 at 5:41am
mreenymo: I love that bottle, too, V! What does Dans la Nuit smell like, do you know?
Hugs! December 8, 2005 at 12:50pm
Anya: V, the moment I saw that bottle I knew it was Worth. I have several little “bombe” (may be the incorrect word) bottles, clear, of vintage Je Reviens in that exact same style. I believe I have two 1/4 oz and a 1/2 oz. I horde them, adore them, and have a little dab every now and then. The dark blue is intoxicating, but I still love my frosted little “boules” (now I think I have the correct word.) December 8, 2005 at 7:51am
BoisdeJasmin: I want that bottle too, but maybe not for their price of $1200. December 8, 2005 at 1:33pm
BoisdeJasmin: Anya, you are lucky! I have a couple of vintage Je Reviens, however in a semicircular Lalique bottle. Not very fancy, but very elegant. I must find the boule bottle someday. December 8, 2005 at 1:40pm
BoisdeJasmin: R, I have never tried it. The bottle alone is worth seeking it out! December 8, 2005 at 1:56pm
MaryAnn Villarreal: Can I just say…I’ve been looking for this perfume for over 25 years.
It was a gift and I still have the bottle…I smell it every so often for the memory. If you know where I can purchase the bottle with perfume inside…I would just love it!
In love! November 16, 2006 at 10:58pm
