A dense floral built on tuberose and amber, held in a miniature bottle. The scent of the Milanese designer known as the architect of fashion.
This is a 1980s miniature of Gianfranco Ferré's fragrance for women, classed as an amber floral.
Tuberose and amber, in miniature.
Gianfranco Ferré trained as an architect in Milan before founding his label there in 1978. From 1989 to 1996 he was also artistic director of Christian Dior.
In the 1980s Italian fashion houses extended their names into fragrance, and miniatures carried those scents as samples and gifts.
The scent opens with tuberose, ylang-ylang and jasmine, moves through narcissus and rose, and settles on sandalwood, amber and musk. With age, it may have changed.
From tuberose to sandalwood.
Vintage fragrance miniatures preserve the bottles and scents of their decade. This one belongs to Ferré's first decade.
Vintage designer fragrance miniatures attract collectors of perfume and of the houses themselves.
Fragrances change with time, so the condition of bottle and contents is assessed with care.
The rise of Milanese ready-to-wear in the late 1970s and 1980s is a recognised chapter in fashion history.
