Tacoma Gracilis c1886

Tacoma Gracilis by Guerlain: launched around 1886. Tacoma Gracilis, also known as Tecoma Gracilis, is a tropical creeper with large yellow flowers and small leaves. This variety clings to stone walls and is a hardy plant and grows very sturdily. Tecoma rosea, with pale pink flowers, is one of the hardiest of all Tecomas, and has pretty shiny leaves.

So what does it smell like? I have no published notes on this composition.

The Wenck Perfumes Mfg Co. introduced their Tacoma Bouquet  in 1903.

ON EBAY!!! Vintage 1990s Guerlain Perfume Dramming Case

This is only the second known case that I have seen. This is a very rare, Guerlain perfume organ used across the United States in retail stores at some Guerlain perfume counters to dram perfume into mini bottles as a gift with a Guerlain perfume purchase in the early 1990's - 1996 to be exact. Each bottle size is approximately 8 fluid ounces, has a label, and a glass dropper with a rubber top.

 The faux blue leather box (outside measurements are 16 & 1/2 inches wide, 16 & 1/2 inches tall, and a little over 6 & 1/2 inches deep), the interior has an upper row and a lower row for the bottles, the inside back is a plastic mirror that has issues due to perfume being spilled during it's travels. Each bottle is held in place by a metal clamp secured against the back. There are slots for 24 bottles, however only 19 have survived over the years. There is a little dust on the inside due to age. The outside hinges and handle are in working order and in good condition. There are some nicks to the outside box and some of the covering on the outside bottom has worn off. The latches have a key hole, but no keys. Overall excellent condition.

The fragrances are as follows along with the date written on the label which is the date of the scent's creation;

• Eau de Cologne Imperiale 1853 - 1/2 full
• Shalimar 1925 - 7/8 full
• Champs Elysees 1996 - 1/2 full
