Beautiful pink rubberized late 1940s to early 1950s bottle of Coty L'Amaint Spray Mist. With the original box. I can't tell how much is in it. But since it was put back in the bottle with the original cardboard collar on it, I am assuming it was not popular with the original owner.
3.5 oz size. This bottle weighs 9.4 oz, (not in the box) on my scale. The pink is so pretty as is the bottle shape.
From the NST perfume Blog: "François Coty and Vincent Roubert created L'Aimant over five years, and the fragrance launched in 1927 — for context, the same year that saw the birth of Lanvin Arpège, Caron Bellodgia, and Jean Patou Chaldée. In his book Perfume, Nigel Groom lists L'Aimant's notes as bergamot, neroli, peach, strawberry, jasmine, rose, ylang ylang, vanilla, vetiver and sandalwood. The fragrance fell out of production, then relaunched in 1995, when Groom claims it became the most popular perfume in Great Britain.
To me, L'Aimant smells like a warm aldehydic floral thicker top and less spicy than vintage Arpège, but warmer than Chanel No. 5. It seems to aim for the sweet spot No. 5 staked out seven years earlier: an elegant, feminine skin scent with a (then) modern rush of fizzy aldehydes. By giving L'Aimant a fluffy, vaguely powdery bed of sweet vanilla and sandalwood and a pinch of fruit, Coty makes L'Aimant approachable and easier than No. 5 for some people to wear.
And yes, I think my calico, Miss Nicky, is stinkin' cute !
