Welcome!
Welcome to my unique perfume blog! Here, you'll find detailed, encyclopedic entries about perfumes and companies, complete with facts and photos for easy research. This site is not affiliated with any perfume companies; it's a reference source for collectors and enthusiasts who cherish classic fragrances.
My goal is to highlight beloved, discontinued classics and show current brand owners the demand for their revival.
Your input is invaluable! Please share why you liked a fragrance, describe its scent, the time period you wore it, any memorable occasions, or what it reminded you of. Did a relative wear it, or did you like the bottle design? Your stories might catch the attention of brand representatives.
I regularly update posts with new information and corrections. Your contributions help keep my entries accurate and comprehensive. Please comment and share any additional information you have. Together, we can keep the legacy of classic perfumes alive!

Les Parfums d'Aguila
Les Parfums d'Aguila of Paris, France. They seemed to have only released one fragrance "Reve de Noel", in 1945. This perfume was presented in a coffret that housed a music box. The bottles were topped by a frosted glass stopper molded in the shape of flames. The deluxe bottle was heart shaped and had a pedestal. The lesser priced bottle was simply a square but still had the lovely flame stopper.
