**1987-1991 Batch # HC1

Grail deep vintage dark orange colored 3 digit formula!

**Please note: 

Vintage Tiffany perfumes during the deep vintage '3 digit' batch code era are not recognized batch sites.

Along with the 3 digit batch format only seen on the earliest Tiffany perfumes, listing also be dated by the history of perfumery production symbol mandates. The 'Green Dot' symbol (spinning arrows in a circle) absent from the bottom sticker was mandated on cosmetics by FDA/FD&C/FPLA in precisely 1992. 

Since this symbol is absent; this places the listing precisely between 1987-1991. 

Additional to that - the PAO 'Period after o symbol on the bottom sticker is absent -  mandated on cosmetics in 2005 - confirming listing to be dated far before harsh IFRA ingredient bans on natural base materials. 

Product quirks, hardware, formula color, and ultra potent luxurious scent itself also confirms this to be the first formula and a 100% Authentic deep vintage fragrance.

I'm proud to present BACK to my shop,

The OG launch era - first formula - deep vintage - pre IFRA regulations - late 1980's - potent - long lasting - natural smelling - luxurious - S-Tier niche quality 

Tiffany for Women Eau de Parfum!

The holy grail QUEEN of elegant timeless high class perfumery in its nostalgic original formula! 

If you know, you know!

Just in time for the colder months ahead is this juicy fruity floral vanilla sandalwood masterpiece.

Historically known as one of the most luxurious female perfumes ever made for women in the mainstream designer shops. So luxurious it was even priced high at prestige prices upon its launch.

While in business alongside CHANEL in the late 1980's; 

the luxurious USA S-tier designer brand Tiffany brought in master perfumer Francois Demachy to compose this iconic feminine fragrance. 

A STUNNING fruity floral with a creamy sandalwood vanilla backbone, Demachy creates an orchestra of black currant, mandarin orange, plum, ylang-ylang, jasmine, white florals, orange blossom, sandalwood, & vanilla.

Incredibly feminine, youthful, sensual, yet classy all at the same time while delivering a potent Eau de Parfum strength (A PARFUM / ELIXIR to todays standards). Vintage Tiffany EDP is made with the finest ingredients privately sourced by CHANEL / Tiffany - with exclusive top tier ingredients only exclusive to the top tier brand. There's a smoothness to Tiffany for women EDP that adds to the luxurious experience as you wear it, a classy old money type feel not quite experienced in any other perfume.

An iconic DNA now discontinued and highly sought after.

Modern iterations of tiffany perfumery are now incredibly diluted, degraded, and highly limited due to IFRA regulations that came into effect harshly the last 30 years, forcing companies to stop using naturals, oakmoss fixatives, discontinue endangered ingredients and stop harvesting civet due to animal rights culture. This vintage perfumery exemplifies a vintage time capsule in more ways than one.

This listing is absolute S-tier perfection in its strongest EDP format macerating for over 4 decades pre-IFRA from the golden era of perfumery. One of the most concentrated female perfumes I have personally come across in the absolute best in Tiffany quality. What a concoction! Be weary of vintage Tiffany for Women 'EDT' Containing less oils for the same price bracket - nothing better than the Tiffany for women in the Eau de Parfum!

This is a rich potent niche quality fruity black currant, floral ylang-ylang, earthy sandalwood, and sweet vanilla BEAST of feminine allure. This fragrance resembles the richness, depth & strength of a modern day Parfum/ Elixir/ Extrait!

12-24-48 hour + strength & performance!

Up for buy it now is the nostalgic vintage, iconic, and ultra rare vintage Tiffany for women EDP

The mystique of this 39 year old fragrance still mystifies the fragrance community. 

The nostalgia it brings to many is just one of those classic female perfumes that will never be forgotten.

History was made in the late 80's by the prestigious Tiffany & Co. company with what is known as one of the most luxurious and decadent perfumes for women ever created by master perfumer Francois Demachy.

Even as an experienced vintage fragrance shop owner myself,

I was taken back by the quality, density, & luxurious richness of this formula - it's so breathtaking. This matches and rivals the brand of CHANEL in perfumery tier. This is one of my favorite female perfumes.

This perfume is a multi-layered masterpiece...

Tiffany for women starts off with this Incredibly bright berried black currant and bright mandarin fruits.

The heart hits soon after with a completely decadent breathtaking anti-depressant hug of luxurious passionate florals such as ylang-ylang, and sensuous jasmine. Earthy Iris & violet florals balance out the composition and add a sexier edge and strength to it. That tasty woody gourmand base of creamy sandalwood, amber, and vanilla gives you a subtle taste of sweetness without overwhelming you, as if the sweetness is coming from the pollen of the sensuous florals themselves.

I see why this was award winning perfume in the late 1980's - winning 2 Fifi awards in 1988

It's INCREDIBLE. This has without a doubt one of the top perfume collectibles of all time.

Unfortunately,

This formula is no longer for sale in shops due to IFRA regulations.

A new 'Tiffany for women' launched around 2017, with a brand new fragrances centering on an Iris note. Tiffany perfumes in modern day have less rich naturals, & base fixatives; lowering the luxurious quality, & performance. Fragrances now a days across all designer brands are flatter, weaker, synthetic, & lacking uniqueness as brands follow IFRA mandates. Endangered ingredient restrictions, Modern IFRA bans, and budget setbacks prevent this from being what it was prior. The original formula is unable to be made by Tiffany due to a multitude of reasons. 

Now,

This vintage formulation is no longer on the shelves today. Modern formulas are inferior with modern formulas built weaker in EDC/EDT concentrations. It's impossible to make a deeper heavier natural smelling fragrance of naturals WITHOUT the naturals - & all designer brands continue to prove this by releasing their modern formulas. With the original formula only being distributed for a short time, nothing is more of a vintage collectors status symbol than Tiffany for women EDP.

Fortunately,

At Guardian of the Fragrances, it is my mission to 'undo' all that, take you back into past by offering fragrances from their golden eras, & most of all offer passion & transparency in everything I do.

With me, you get a selection of unalerted, well preserved, authentic, relics from the past in their original intended vision of quality, & strength. 

With my passion in the art of perfumery, natural based ingredients, & a distain for all organizational overreach regulation & mandates; I make it my passion & joy to bring well preserved, authentic, & superior collectible formulas to my shop to share with the world.

With that said I bring you vintage Tiffany For Women Eau de Parfum.

This is truly a must have collectible & store staple with Guardian of the Fragrances & I am proud to present it to my store.

THE TRUTH ABOUT BATCH WEBSITES - THEY GAS LIGHT YOU:

Vintage fragrances are well known to give year errors on batch code sites. 

Vintage batch codes either populate no result at all OR repeat every 8-10 years giving an incorrect timeline. 

As a Revenue protection investigator & quality appraiser for 15 years; product quirks such as presentation features, distributer history, zip codes, formula color, symbolism, ingredients, and the scent itself allow for accurate transparency in dating a product - far more accurately than a batch site.

Sour notes?: Nope!

Life of the fragrance?: 12-24-48 hour + strength/ silage.

A review sourced by Fragrantica:

"Keep in mind when you read 'Tiffany' on the product, you should actually read it as "Chanel". These two brands were in business together in the 1980's. This is a scent developed and manufactured by Chanel in Paris, then rebranded as Tiffany. Tiffany / Chanel For women EDP is a balanced floral done in the way only Chanel could do. It is delicate, classy, rich, opulent, alluring and sensual. It is delicate and strong at the same time. It smells rich and expensive, and you won't have any cheap aroma chemicals in this formula. In fact, it was sold at premium price during its launch. Whatever your preferences, you will appreciate the composition and the blending of bright vibrant fruits & exquisite flowers alongside the creamy woody vanilla."

Why this formula?: 

-Superior perfected original formula now discontinued and no longer sold in shops.

-Rich in naturals, quality, strength, and better base fixatives prior to European IFRA bans.

- Performance relative to a modern Parfum/ Extrait concentration - concentrated ml. means less applications - and a longer life of this precious listing.

-39 years of maceration preserved in a dark cabinet - allowing its ingredients to blend and mature for an enhanced, smoother, more complex, and longer lasting scent.

Presentation condition grade: 

A

New product?: Yes

Listing age: 39 years

Cosmetic Flaws: None - MINT condition - this looks untouched by time.

Hardware & Cap condition: Hardware is perfect, cap included & snaps on tight.

Glass chips: None

Scuffs: None

(COLLECTOR CONSULTATION - MY FINAL THOUGHTS)

This First formula late 1980's Tiffany for women EDP formula just keeps getting more rare as we now move farther into the 2020's and into a generation of more severe IFRA regulations weakening the quality and strength of perfumery.

 Mix that with the incredible 39 year maceration time and it's virtually impossible to be able to make this formula again.

Now dare I say this is one of a kind.

Allow me to emphasize how rare this formula is now and will be even more so in the future.

Fair price for a collector wanting to own this iconic original well preserved first formula from the top tier luxury brand of Tiffany & Co.

Just holding and this observing this product, you feel feel its vintage charm.

1987 listing is in mint condition condition with vintage charms so it is a time capsule from 39 years ago. 

Great collector's piece! 

Formula sat in dark cabinet for over 4 decades macerating - allowing its ingredients to blend and mature for an enhanced, smoother, more complex, and longer lasting scent.

Vintage late 1980's EDP formula is a rich VIBRANT ORANGE. This orange hue isn't a dye - this is the natural floral oils per no dye ingredients on the vintage boxes.

Over 4 decades of maceration, with Tiffany & Co. quality, & pre-IFRA regulations when perfumes were held to higher standards results in a fragrance that resembles a modern PARFUM / ELIXIR / EXTRAIT type fragrance. 

That means overall less applications - and a longer life out of this precious listing.

Literally 2-3 applications and you're good for an entire day.

Price rice per ml. justified on this listing when you measure how exquisite this formula is. 

This is absolute S-tier designer and niche in quality. I expect these to continue to climb in value even more as this becomes more rare, this fragrance is just so breathtaking in quality, strength, and performance.

✅WHY YOU SHOULD PURCHASE VINTAGE FORMULAS & NOT MODERN FORMULATIONS…

 ✅UNLOCKS STORED MEMORIES IN THE BRAINS HIPPOCAMPUS

Fragrances have a fingerprint. The brain is so intelligently designed - that it stores a fragrance DNA's composition precisely to the very last ingredient utilized at that time. Smell a modern formula & see what happens - your brain gets low key upset. 

Only that special formula composed 10-20-30-40 years ago is the key to unlock vivid feelings of nostalgia. 

✅BETTER QUALITY, INGREDIENTS, PERFORMANCE, & CREATIVITY

Made in times prior to culture regulations, production politics, corporate greed, & making man made chemicals for profit; you get the authentic formula(s) the perfumery artist(s) intended from that time resulting in more naturals, less synthetic/cheap aroma chemicals, richer compositions, bolder presence, more layers/less linear, & made in times where smoking was indoors- you get NUCLEAR performance.

✅SMELL BETTER & OR HIGHER QUALITY THEN OTHER MEN AROUND YOU.

In a mass society unaware of vintage fragrances - you will absolutely without a doubt outshine whatever they are wearing. Gain respect, stand out, be the most attractive smelling in the room. In general this is what makes the male gender so enthralled with colognes but vintage amplifies this to the next level. Stop endless influencer searches seeing if something modern performs - just buy vintage.

✅INVEST MORE IN VINTAGE TO SPEND LESS OVER TIME ON MODERN

Vintage fragrances are stronger & need less applications due to concentration. It's not a coincidence they are removing oils in colognes nowadays - they don't want us to know how weakened they are. Many collectors go niche to escape low quality fragrances when designer vintage is their solution.  Beautiful mass pleasing DNA's in the best quality & strength possible. The best way to go forward in perfumery is to go backwards.

If you buy a vintage - a product that would have lasted you a year is now lasting you over 2+ years. Think about it- you are going from essentially a modern day EDC (Modern edt) to a powerful parfum strength niche smelling formula. Once you go vintage it's illogical to go back.

✅VINTAGE FRAGRANCES ARE AN INVESTMENT THAT *INCREASE* IN VALUE

Due to the mass, devoted, & awakening population of the vintage fragrance community; vintage fragrances are a collectible commodity matching similar value in precious paintings, antiques, jewelry, gemstones, diamonds, & gold! Vintage fragrances are an investment, this listing will be MORE in 2-5-10-15 years. This is my favorite thing about being a collector; my purchase investments lack buyers remorse on as I am buying an investment for the future/ & or discreet savings to liquidate as needed. It's as easy to trade fragrances for cash as it is to liquidate your cash for gold.

✅OVERALL ENHANCEMENT OF THE ATTRIBUTES BELOW VS BUYING MODERN FORMULAS

✓Positive mood enhancer

✓Confidence booster

✓Alluring attractiveness

✓Triggers memories

✓Aromatherapy

✓Makes you more attractive

✓Enduring impact

Special goodie bag/bonus gift are never factored into the pricing. It's truly a thank you gift.

✓ One-category shop

I’m not selling a mess of random various thrift items that I know nothing about. At Guardian of the Fragrances; you are shopping at a niche shop that specializes solely on discontinued perfumery formulations. ‘One category shops’ provide customers with a unique shopping experience that is backed with knowledge & experience within that category. By selling one category items; it shows I have a deep passion in what I am selling. Buying from fine-tuned one category shops makes all the difference & in result a rewarding shopping experience. That seller who has listed some sneakers, baseball cards, hoodies, & that cologne you want - he may know its authentic & well preserved, OR he may not. 

✓ Revenue protection process

With over a decade of professional Revenue Protection expertise investigating fraud & theft for my state of WI utility provider; all vintage fragrances in my shop are expertly authenticated. Examples of the process include batch searches, listing dating, differentiating formula differences, production quirk studies, hardware chks, product & cap weigh-ins, how long the performance lasts & the quality of that experience, ect. Anything that falls into my hands that doesn't pass this process never reaches my shop.

✓ Quality appraisal process

At Guardian of the Fragrances; rest assured I am expertly skilled in determining whether your vintage formula has been well preserved. I value revenue protection process & quality appraisal in my shop to gain customer trust & I am on a mission to not disappoint you. 

✓ Mutual perfumery hobbyist & collector

I myself am a vintage fragrance hobbyist & collector. In fact, many listings come from my own personal collection after years of collecting back-up products as a hobby. As a hobbyist myself, I know exactly what my shoppers are looking for & what is sorely lacking in this sector. Studying & shopping for rare fragrances for my own collection has taught me our population is no where close to being fragrance experts. It's an art only a small population sees, and an exotic language only a few speaks. You even go on a forum discussion with hobbyist's & there's more questions than answers. The community needs my help. At Guardian of the Fragrances - I have those answers for you. I am here to give you common-sense truths that Designer brands & retails hold back from us. In fact it was poor aloof information provided to the public about fragrances that gave me the drive to launch my business in the first place.

(Reformulation talk...)

Unfortunately,

 In a modern era's effort to make the small allergen pool of the population safe for the bigger masses 

(essentially a 'Safe than sorry' approach for everyone);

Harsh fragrance regulations came into effect within the last 20 years in the EU (United Nations) where nearly all fragrances are still composed.

The SCCS (Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety), IFRA (International Fragrance Association) & the ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) came together together to ban many precious naturals, & unique aroma chemicals due to potential irritant concerns in a small pool of the population.

Every year it seems another ingredient is banned as these chemical giants are auditing & banning aroma materials for simply having slight reactions due to sensitivities. To ban something from a total population when said ingredient reacts negatively to only a small group of that population is an unnecessary overreach. 

To play nice & to still get credibility for selling 'Safe' fragrances; all Designer perfumery brands have submitted to these giants for EU support of their product(s).

Between 2010-2022;

The EU has now banned over 2,000 ingredients in the beauty & fragrance business.

This massive ingredient ban in beauty products is more than any other world region in history!

In comparison, the United States has banned only 17 ingredients from beauty products made in the USA.

Unfortunately for fragrance enthusiasts, a VERY small pct of designers make their fragrances in America.

By 2030; the EEB (European Environmental Bureau) anticipates over 5,000-7,000 ingredients to be banned in total.

Rules, reformulations, synthetic ingredients, cost-cutting, & keeping up with modern scent trends have weakened performance of modern favorites from the past. This is not a theory or paranoia, this is becoming more evident since the rise of fragrance communities & worsening of formulas on the shelves today.

 Since this confirmation of industries now releasing overly regulated, synthetic, & weakened modern formulas of classic fragrances, beloved vintage fragrance formulas are now highly sought after by collectors or simply average shoppers that just want to reunite with their signature fragrance in its original and true form.

Many are so accustomed to newer compositions they have no idea what they are not experiencing.

Vintage EDT formulas are well known to perform with higher concentrations equal to a modern Eau de Parfum or Parfum. Newer formulations of the modern age are said to perform somewhere between an Eau de cologne & Eau de toilette with lower quality, more synthetics, & average performance.

DET Vs. DPG:

A chemist in Germany did a gas chromatogram composition on a vintage fragrance & it's modern day formula.

 It was found that companies utilized a solvent Diethyl Phthalate (DET) on the vintage formula; which was known to have a stronger bonding fixative effect on what it touches. Modern day formulas now have Dipropylene Glycol (DPG).

DPG is commonly utilized in LIGHTLY fragrance'd shampoos while DET on the other hand is still in potent home fragrances. Home fragrance companies don't utilize DPG as the fragrance would immediately leave the base! 

Makes you think - "Why would I spend 100 dollars on a fragrance with DPG & no DET?"

2010's Oakmoss ban:

By far one of the most controversial & damaging IFRA regulations was the ban of natural Oakmoss. 

This popular natural ingredient has been in every legendary cologne for the past 50 years. All of those classics are now utilized with weaker synthetics. 

Since Oakmoss is a base note & has lasting fixative effects, modern fragrances now don't perform well without it.

2022 Lilial ban:

& if you thought your top / mid notes were safe. You're wrong. 

In 2021, The Scientific committee on consumer safety (SCCS) & the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) banned the note of lilial due to sensitive reactions. (That's it?). They simply stated "It may sometimes act as an allergen." 

Lilial was a common note in modern perfumery. 

With Lilial being a synthetic aromatic soapy aldehyde;  it gave it's fragrance a sweet yet refreshing intense floral green odor. No other aroma chemical has yet to produce the same effects.

Fragrance shelf-life lies:

 One of the biggest gaslighting scams is the myth that fragrances naturally 'Expire/go bad' due to time alone.

Fragrances are not your local produce guys, they are a chemist composition of naturals and fragrant chemical aromas that contain preservatives. That chemist recipe is THEN preserved in a pct average of 80 pct ALCOHOL. This 80 pct alcohol is combined with 10 pct aroma chemicals & 10 pct naturals. To assume 10 pct natural ingredients expire in a whopping 80 pct alcohol composition is a HUGE stretch.

Made with similar strategies, 

Fragrances share vintage wine's ability to age superbly. Fragrances in fact get better with age from the process of maceration; when naturals soak for extended periods of time making the formula blend and smell more matured for an enhanced, smoother, more complex, & longer lasting scent. 

Fragrances are not fresh hand made cosmetics with no preservatives sensitive to time - quite the opposite!

Fragrances were even recovered from the 1912 Titanic wreck - with no sins of going bad!

A perfumery salesman perished in the wreck resulting in his briefcase of fragrances found on the BOTTOM of the ocean preserved for over 100 years. In an artifact examination room amongst the muck & tragedy,

 The recovered perfumery was presented to the room & by surprise brought the room to LIFE again, aromas of beautiful fruits, florals, resins, & woods sourced from so long ago. 

The experience was so powerful to the scientist- it made a grown man cry.

Fragrances may be poorly stored...but don't go bad from just the passing of time.

I guess any myth will be claimed for these fragrance industries that want you coming in to buy their modern products.

The modern recipe / The modern day scent:

Modern fragrances just aren't good you guys, whether that be a brand new scent or a reformulation of a classic.

Anything modern follows the same pattern; synthetic fruity tops to lock you in, aromatic regulated molecules to give you general masculinity, then a base gob-smacked with scratchy ambroxan / synthetic cloying sweetness to ultimately distract you so don't notice how ridiculous the entire composition smells.

It's truly depressing what they release nowadays.

You might as well wear your home cleaner.

fortunately,

In every generation...

...A guardian is born.

A guardian to make the world a better place.

Now, our memories are under siege.

You may wonder..."What is happening to my signature fragrance, & why?"

"Is it all in my head?"...It's not. 

Designer brands are gaslighting you.

Retail associates are lying to you.

They don't want you to know about me...

the Guardian of the Fragrances.

Vintage formulas taking asylum & preserved under my guardianship.

The awakening is growing, don't be excluded.
