Souvenirs From Another Time When Perfume Was The Symbol of Absolute Luxury

As a magical place in Paris at the foot of the Sacre-Coeur of Montmartre, The Belle de Jour  gallery shows an amazing collection of old perfume bottles, atomizers, powder and cream boxes.

Belle de Jour at 7 rue Tardieu, in the 18the near Metro Abbesses) is open Monday to Saturday 10:30 to 1 and 2 to 7. Here you'll find a wonderful collection of antique perfume bottles and glassware ( from the 18th century to the 1940's). Just after you enter, you can definitely catch a whiff of perfume in the air, and during my visit, a French woman was at the counter putting her collection of antique glassware on consignment in the store. When you look for the store, go to the middle of the building front since there is another store in the same building using the same number (which is fairly common in Paris).
The prices are not for the faint hearted, as they start at Euro 200,  but Oh! what beauty they posses. .
