CLEOPATRA'S BOUDOIR

Welcome to Cleopatra's Boudoir, ثلعہپاتراس بہءدہیر.  I have compiled a ton of research about various perfume companies, their fragrances and dates of manufacture. Please feel free to browse thru any of the pages. The blog is a more in depth area in which I explain the histories of some of your favorite perfumes, focusing on cult classics, discontinued fragrances, vintage perfumes & bottles. Additionally, I will be adding more info on vanity accessories and lady's accoutrements such as vanity purses, compacts, and more.

I also offer an appraisal service for perfume bottles, powder boxes, lady's accessories and vanity items.

As a self-proclaimed perfume historian and detective, I search high and low for info on obscure and well known perfumes and their companies. I am also known as the Perfume Lady, Perfume Expert, Cleopatra, and the Princess-of-Perfume (some say Queen of Perfume haha), I take pride in researching and delving information to present to anyone who is interested in vintage perfumes and related accessories. I lend my knowledge to the Ebay discussion boards, namely the Pottery, Glass & Porcelain board, Antiques board, Collectibles board and the Health & Beauty board. 

If you have any questions, please contact me at cleopatrasboudoir@gmail.com

I am happy to report that some of my knowledge about perfume bottles was featured in a 2008 article for SmartBuy by Business Line. The article is titled "On the scent trail".

My eBay guides were featured in an article called “Tips and Guides on Types of Perfume” by www.patisseriedeliceroyal.com

Recently sold a vintage perfume bottle to Roja Dove, writer, speaker, industry commentator and above all, author of the fabulous book The Essence of Perfume.

"Women have been brainwashed into thinking that perfume is something they wait for Christmas to get. Perfume should be considered a necessity worn just for the nice reason of being a girl."  --Helen Van Slyke
