An extensive collection of assorted perfume bottles, fragrance store display dummies known as factices, and decorative vanity items. The collection includes prominent examples from major fragrance houses. Representing Chanel are bottles for Parfum No. 5, Eau de Parfum No. 19, and a tall white bottle for No. 22. Guerlain is represented by a fan-shaped Shalimar bottle with a blue stopper and a textured silver-toned bee-style bottle. Givenchy items include a tall hexagonal bottle of Ysatis and a large bottle of Eau de Givenchy.
Other identified pieces include two cobalt blue circular bottles by Niki de Saint Phalle featuring Aquarius and snake motifs, two Chloe Narcisse bottles with frosted flower-shaped stoppers, a Salvador Dali Le Roy Soleil sun-shaped frosted bottle, and a Nina Ricci L’Air du Temps fluted bottle with a dove stopper. A light blue quilted Miu Miu bottle and a small triangular Guess bottle are also present.
The collection further contains several small decorative scent bottles featuring metal filigree, enamel, and inset synthetic gemstones, as well as two large white ceramic jars with floral transfer decorations and gold-tone lettering for Bath Salts and Toilet Roll. One tall bottle is encased in decorative wire mesh with charms. Materials include clear, frosted, and coloured glass, ceramic, plastic, and metal. Labels on several items, particularly the Chanel bottles, explicitly state Display Dummy Not For Sale.
