✨ A Victorian beauty with a story to tell… ✨

This stunning Rimmel Perfumery Paris frosted glass perfume bottle has survived for well over a century and still retains its original ground-glass stopper.

Dating to around the 1880s–1900, this elegant bottle was produced by the famous House of Rimmel, founded by Eugène Rimmel, whose name became so iconic that “rimmel” is still the word for mascara in several languages today.

The embossed “RIMMEL – PERFUMER – PARIS” lettering and frosted finish make it a wonderful piece for collectors of Victorian perfume bottles, antique glass, and apothecary treasures.

There’s something special about holding an everyday luxury from the Victorian era and imagining the history it has witnessed.
