Would you pay good money for these ?
More and more frequently I’m seeing in eBay sellers offering empty bottles of perfume ranging from fairly cheap to not so cheap prices .What do people want with empty bottles ?
Do they become collectors items eventually ?
How many years does it take for something to become valuable ?

I can only think they eventually become valuable but as I asked how long does it take ? I wish I’d saved all of my Femme by Rochas bottles now . They were of a beautiful design .I do have a couple of empty Donna by Valentino bottles which I use as paperweights .They’s very elegant .

I had my first bottle of Femme presented to me by a gentleman friend in the early 70’s .
Valentino ,famous Italian designer , similar time.
There was no recycling then !

Use a diamond drill bit to make a small hole in the side of the bottle (the bottom is usually the thickest part). Drill the glass under water and then use a hypodermic syringe to fill the bottle with a decent copy of the perfume, then seal the hole with a two part water clear epoxy. When cured trim excess with a scalpel and polish with jewelers rouge and bingo!Then flog it on eBay.
