🕊️ DEBUT LAUNCH YEAR VAULT GRAIL (NEW IN BOX):
Chloé Narcisse is an award-winning, hypnotic powerhouse composition. This rare 1992 debut-year edition is packed with precious natural narcissus absolute and rich ambery syrups entirely missing from modern retail shelves.
An exceptional, museum-grade investment acquisition for antique fragrance purists, spicy-floral connoisseurs, and serious perfume historians: an authentic **first-generation 1992 debut edition of Chloé Narcisse Eau de Toilette (EDT)** in its popular **50ml (1.7 Fl. Oz.)** retail scale. This long-vaulted icon is precision-dated straight to its **1992 launch period via the original 3-character batch code 2JB** cleanly preserved on the packaging base.
Please Read Carefully Before Purchasing:
1. Brand New Unused Status: This bottle belongs to an elite archival vault collection and is new old stock (NOS). The internal atomizer spray pump remains completely un-primed, un-sprayed, and factory full.
2. Potential Vintage Evaporation (Ullage): Due to over three decades of safe cellared storage, minor age-appropriate natural evaporation (ullage) may have occurred through the vacuum collar. The remaining liquid volume remains exceptionally high and top-tier full (fluid status exactly as pictured in the high-resolution listing photographs).
3. Final Sale / No Returns: This archival asset is sold strictly as-is. Due to the highly rare, discontinued, and cellared nature of this 1990s fragrance, we do not accept returns, refunds, or exchanges based on interior fluid levels or juice performance once purchased. By purchasing, the buyer acknowledges and accepts these antique characteristics.
🏺 Whimsical Daffodil Glass Topper :
The iconic heavy pebble clear glass bottle and its translucent matte frosted flower cap—sculpted beautifully like a blooming narcissus petal crown—remain in pristine cosmetic condition. Housed securely away from all light degradation, the fluid inside reflects immaculate dark amber-orange clarity and absolute chemical stability, delivering stunning skin sillage and the legendary, explosive performance of the original formula.
📦 Pristine Deep Red Floral Gift Box :
The outer box features the house's historic, rich ruby-red rose petal graphic print with clean white minimalist text zones. Entirely free of modern commercial barcodes, late-90s long-form allergen chemical disclosures, or green recycling dot symbols, it confirms its true pre-1995 pedigree. The cardboard casing remains structurally crisp and solid, reflecting minor, honest storage shelf wear consistent with its 34-year age as shown in the listing photographs.
Composed masterfully by IFF perfumers during the pinnacle of 1990s high-sillage exploration, Chloé Narcisse is celebrated as a daring, unapologetic narcotic floral. It opens with an immense, rich explosion of **sweet peach nectar, juicy plum, warm apricot, tagetes, plumeria, and fresh orange blossom**. The heart transitions into an incredibly dense, velvety garden dominated by **pure natural yellow narcissus absolute, carnation spice, May rose, powdery violet, and gardenia**. The long-lasting dry-down leaves a magnetic trail of **heavy golden amber resins, sweet vanilla tincture, rich Tolu balsam, cedar wood, and soft musk**.
