🩵 1987 FIRST EDITION MASTERPIECE:
This is the legendary, original 1987 debut formulation of Tiffany by François Demachy. Housed in the historic black-and-gold column flacon, it delivers a rich vintage floral profile entirely missing from modern releases.
An exceptional, investment-grade acquisition for vintage fragrance purists and serious perfume historians: an authentic **first-generation Vintage Tiffany & Co. (Tiffany for Women) Eau de Toilette (EDT)** in its highly desired **50ml (1.7 Fl. Oz.)** retail scale. Fully verified as the iconic 1987 debut blend composed by legendary master perfumer François Demachy. The bottle is in **as-new, completely full, and un-sprayed old stock condition**, preserving the precious golden-amber liquid in pristine physical and aromatic stability. It comes complete with its original vintage robin's-egg blue presentation box and historical insert leaflet.
⚠️ Vintage Atomiser Cap Notice :
Please Note: While the inner fragrance fluid is 100% brand new, un-sprayed, and full to the factory fill line, the original Silver plastic/metallic column cap exhibits honest signs of age-appropriate chemical oxidation due to nearly 40 years of safe cellared storage. This cosmetic vintage patina does not impact the flawless functionality of the high-pressure mist atomiseur spray mechanism beneath. Fluid level and cap condition are exactly as pictured.
📦 Classic Tiffany Blue Presentation Carton Box:
The outer box is draped in the house's historic, unmistakable robin's-egg blue and is completely free of modern barcodes or long-form ingredient disclosures, confirming its pre-1990 pedigree. The cardboard casing remains structurally solid and crisp, showing only minor, honest vintage shelf wear, light edge rub marks, and historical pricing stickers as shown in the photographs.
Composed in an era of uncompromised luxury before ingredients were heavily restricted, this 1987 blend is a masterclass in rich floral-oriental design. It opens with an elegant, bright burst of **blackcurrant syrup, mandarin orange, hyacinth, and green notes**, before unrolling an immense, powdery heart of **premium damask rose, ylang-ylang, indolic jasmine, and rich iris root**. The sophisticated, long-lasting dry-down leaves a magnetic trail of warm **vintage sandalwood, rich amber, deep vetiver, vanilla tincture, and soft civet musks** that lingers beautifully on the skin.
