Salvador Dali, Figural, Nose & Lips Perfume and Brooch Set

Item Vin662 Description: Circa 1985, Salvador Dali, Figural, Nose & Lips perfume and brooch set. Clear & Frosted Glass, Atomizer, Commercial Perfume / Scent Bottle. In the 1940's & 1950's the artist Salvador Dali created perfumes for Schiaparelli and Marquay. Salvador Dali perfumes were launched in 1985. The Surrealist nose and lips design was taken from a painting by Dali of the Goddess Aphrodite. This figural perfume bottle is a collectors item because of the name and presentation not for its scent! However, Dali is said to have chosen the scent himself: rose in celebration of his wife Gala’s rose garden and jasmine because he liked to wear a sprig behind his ear and he believed the plant to be a hallucinogen.
This fantastic scent bottle is molded in the shape of a nose and lips. The frosted nose is removed and underneath is the atomizer. The molded, clear and frosted glass, lower lip is artist signed: Dali. Molded on base of bottle: S. Dali Ray Int * 50 ml * 166 fl oz * Paris. Perfume measuring approximately 4 inches in height. Ninety percent of the original perfume remains in the bottle. The scent is absolutely divine! This sensational perfume would make a great gift for the commercial perfume collector. This item has all the original packaging.
