Lucien Lelong Edition Limitee Perfume Bottle

In 1951, the Lucien Lelong perfume company released a special presentation in a new bottle. It was called "Edition Limitee" and only 200 bottles were produced. I don't know what sort of juice was used in this bottle.

The ad mentions that only a few women in the world had owned the perfume and that it was custom created for them. I think the ad reads that the perfume was being offered at $110. A princely sum at the time!

The flacon is very beautiful from what I can make out in the picture. It appears to be a cylindrical bottle with a whirlwind or tornado shape with gathered dust at the base and at the top? Is this a US issue of Passionement? I can't figure it out?

Its housed in a clear box and rests on a plinth. Do you have this bottle? If so, let's get that pic on here!

Welcome!

This is not your average perfume blog. In each post, I present perfumes or companies as encyclopedic entries with as much facts and photos as I can add for easy reading and researching without all the extraneous fluff or puffery.

Please understand that this website is not affiliated with any of the perfume companies written about here, it is only a source of reference. I consider it a repository of vital information for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by. Updates to posts are conducted whenever I find new information to add or to correct any errors.

One of the goals of this website is to show the present owners of the various perfumes and cologne brands that are featured here how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances!

Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table, did you like the bottle design), who knows, perhaps someone from the company brand might see it.

Also, if you have any information not seen here, please comment and share with all of us.
