Wearing Scents

Today I picked up this Donna Karan Black Cashmere Perfume Pendant. It seems to be made of some sort of ceramic and the shape opens up to reveal a little space which would have held a little fragrance vial.

Black Cashmere by Donna Karan is an Oriental Floral fragrance for women and  was launched in 2002. The nose behind this fragrance is Rodrigo Flores-Roux.

Despite the fact that most perfumes make me feel ill, I have amassed a small collection of vintage perfume pendants including two Elsa Peretti for Halston necklaces. The one above is a mini version of the Halston perfume bottle that Peretti designed.

The second is an oversized version of the “Bean” created before Peretti’s partnership with Tiffany & Co. It opens up to reveal a solid version of the fragrance.

I also have this Lanvin bottle necklace. Note: This is not my photo. I can’t seem to take a decent picture of the pendant so I grabbed this one off an auction site.
