This auction is for 3 Estee Lauder solid perfume compacts which all have both their outer white and inner gold boxes. None of the perfumes has ever been used and there is just a very minimal touch of shrinking and/or darkening in one or two of the solids - please see my pictures below to see how well-preserved the perfumes are.  All open and close securely and all rhinestones accounted for and firmly attached. Bottom labels are still on ... except for the Bustier which was produced with a hang-tag instead .. and all perfumes scents still smell heavenly!!  Please note that some of the enamel areas on the solids produced glare when I took my pictures - but this is only in some pictures and all enamel work on the solids appears perfect to me. The detail on these solids is incredible - please look at my pictures!

The following are the solids included in this auction:

• THE VIOLIN: From 2001 ~ contains the fragrance Youth Dew ~ Original Price of $250 ~ Comes in 3 pieces...the Violin, the violin stand, and the bow.  Measures approximately 2 and 1/2" high by 1 and 1/4" in length.  Done in goldtone with beautiful brown and a little black enamel. Has sparkling white crystals on the front and outlining the side.
•  
• ROMANTIC EDITION: From 2002 ~ contains the fragrance Beautiful ~ Original Price of $150 ~ A Jay Strongwater Exclusive for Estee Lauder - - As you can see in one of my pictures below, the Estee Lauder information card is also included. The outside says that Jay Strongwater is the designer, and the inside says:

  Renowned designer, Jay Strongwater, brings his unique sense of color, form and fantasy to this magnificent collection of Exclusive Solid Perfume Compacts. Exquisitely detailed, each piece is finely crafted in brillant enamel and sparkling crystals, and is filled with long-lasting Estee Lauder solid perfume.

The solid is a miniature picture frame resting on 2 miniature books - and one of the wonderful and distinctive things about this solid is that you can actually put one of your own (very small) pictures in the frame.  ~ Solid is done in goldtone and beautiful brownish, orange-y, and yellowish enamel. The sparkling crystals shine in shades of topaz, champagne and reddish-colorations. The solid perfume...all unused and there...does show a little darkening mainly near the closure - please see my picture.

• BEAUTIFUL BUSTIER: From 2004 ~ contains the fragrance Beautiful ~ Original Price of $175 ~ Measures approximately 1 and 1/2" high by 1" long.  This one has the newer magnetic closure. It is signed and dated inside - - but also signed "Estee Lauder" in goldtone on the top. You can see this in my picture below. This solid was done in goldtone and a luscious dark pink-ish enamel, with sparkling blue and white crystals.

So as you can see, this auction can be a wonderful saving for you as you amass your solid perfume collection.....auction is for solids originally sold for $575, plus tax, and I'm starting auction low and with no reserve!!
