De Rauch Miss de Rauch Parfum 1/2 oz Corded Splash Vintage 1960s
An elegant survivor from the original era of Parfums de Rauch, this vintage Miss de Rauch represents the sophisticated French floral perfumery of the early 1960s. The warm amber parfum is housed in a beautifully rounded glass flacon crowned with a substantial corded ribbed glass stopper. Its red-and-gold foil label and classic presentation make this an especially attractive example from an increasingly difficult-to-find French perfume house.
Available for immediate purchase is this elegant, new, 1960s vintage, fully corded, made in France, original and authentic Miss de Rauch parfum (perfume) splash in a 0.50-ounce (1/2 ounce or 15ml) size by the original Parfums de Rauch. The front red-and-gold paper foil label does have a bit of wear along its upper edge. All photos were taken at high magnification to best highlight overall condition. The buyer will receive the exact item pictured. Dating & Authentication
Miss de Rauch was introduced in 1960 by the perfume house associated with French couturière Madeleine de Rauch. Historical perfume references specifically document Miss de Rauch in 1960 in both parfum and eau de toilette concentrations, with the parfum classified as a floral aldehyde.
The bottle's French manufacture, original Parfums de Rauch presentation, traditional cording, glass stopper, typography, foil label, and overall construction are consistent with an early vintage presentation. These characteristics support dating this bottle to the 1960s, placing it within the original era of Miss de Rauch rather than a much later revival. Condition
This bottle is in exceptional vintage condition and remains fully corded, indicating that the parfum has never been opened or used. The substantial glass bottle and ribbed glass stopper remain beautifully preserved. The original red-and-gold foil front label remains intact but displays some wear along its upper edge, as clearly shown in the photographs. The parfum retains a rich amber coloration. No original outer packaging is included. Please review all photographs carefully, as they show the exact bottle being offered. Why This Item Stands Out
The survival of an original Miss de Rauch parfum is notable in itself, but the untouched presentation makes this example particularly appealing. Original cording is an important feature for collectors because it preserves the bottle substantially as it left the perfume house.
The parfum concentration is also significant. Historical perfume references confirm that Miss de Rauch was offered in both parfum and eau de toilette, and this bottle represents the more concentrated parfum presentation. Collector's Notes
Madeleine de Rauch was a French couturière whose fashion house was established in Paris in 1928. Her perfume line included Pitch, Miss de Rauch, Belle de Rauch, Royal de Rauch, and other fragrances before the original fashion business closed in 1974. Miss de Rauch occupies an important place within that original perfume history. Introduced in 1960, it arrived during the period in which French couture houses were producing sophisticated, highly structured fragrances designed to complement their fashion identities.
For collectors, this bottle combines several desirable characteristics: original 1960s production, French manufacture, parfum concentration, intact original cording, original glass stopper, surviving foil label, and original contents. Fragrance History:
1928: Madeleine de Rauch establishes her Paris couture house.
1947: Pitch, one of the house's earliest documented fragrances, is introduced.
1960: Miss de Rauch is launched in parfum and eau de toilette concentrations and is classified as a floral aldehyde.
1960s: Miss de Rauch becomes part of the house's expanding fragrance portfolio alongside its French couture business.
1968: Miss de Rauch is reported to have undergone a reformulation.
1974: The original Madeleine de Rauch fashion business closes. The perfume company subsequently passes through different ownership.
Later Years: Original Parfums de Rauch fragrances are discontinued, making intact early bottles increasingly collectible. Fragrance Notes
Originally launched in 1960, Miss de Rauch is classified as a floral aldehyde fragrance. It opens with aldehydes, citrus, lotus, melon, orange blossom, and peach; the heart combines rose de mai, muguet, magnolia, mimosa, honeysuckle, ylang-ylang, orris, reseda, black currant, and jasmine; and the composition rests on a substantial base of musk, sandalwood, tonka bean, amber, patchouli, benzoin, cedar, Bourbon vetiver, and oakmoss. The extensive floral heart against a mossy, woody, ambered base gives Miss de Rauch the complex and sophisticated structure characteristic of fine French perfumery of its era.
