Vivi Jasmine Perfume Oil 0.5 oz (15ml) Splash Vintage 1960s

A charming survivor from the golden age of perfume oils, this original Vivi Jasmine Perfume Oil captures the simple elegance and concentrated fragrance formats that were popular during the 1960s. The beveled Italian-made glass bottle, black-and-gold foil label, and rich golden contents create an attractive vanity-display piece that reflects a bygone era of personal fragrance.

Available today is this exquisite, 1960s vintage, original and authentic Vivi Jasmine Perfume Oil splash in a 0.5 oz (15ml) size by New York Pencil Company Inc., made in the USA. This attractive example is housed in an Italian-made beveled glass bottle and retains its original black-and-gold foil label. Photos were taken in natural light at high magnification to best highlight overall item condition. The buyer will receive the exact item pictured.

Perfume oil may be applied directly to pulse points in the same manner as a traditional fragrance. Due to its concentrated nature, only a small amount is typically required.

The bottle base is embossed "BOTTLE MADE IN ITALY," reflecting the use of imported decorative glass packaging that was commonly utilized for higher-quality fragrance products during the period. The combination of the Italian bottle, foil label design, and overall presentation is consistent with mid-century perfume oil production.

Condition

This bottle remains exceptionally attractive and displays beautifully. The black-and-gold paper foil label is intact with minimal wear, and the glass retains excellent clarity. The gold-tone cap exhibits expected oxidation consistent with age. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.

Collector Notes

Vintage perfume oils have become increasingly desirable among fragrance collectors due to their concentrated formulations and relatively limited survival rates. Many perfume oils were used completely and discarded, making well-preserved examples increasingly difficult to locate. The Vivi line is encountered far less frequently than products from major fragrance houses, adding additional collector appeal.

The imported Italian-made bottle further enhances display appeal and reflects the higher-quality packaging often associated with specialty fragrance oils of the period. Examples retaining their original foil labels in such attractive condition are becoming increasingly uncommon.

Why This Bottle Stands Out vs. Later Versions

Unlike many later mass-market fragrance oils packaged in plastic or simplified containers, this example retains its original Italian-made glass bottle, decorative foil label, and classic mid-century presentation. The compact size and concentrated perfume oil format reflect a style of fragrance marketing that largely disappeared in later decades.

Fragrance History

1960s: Vivi Jasmine Perfume Oil is marketed by New York Pencil Company Inc. as part of the growing popularity of concentrated fragrance oils.

1960s: Decorative imported Italian glass bottles are utilized for premium fragrance presentations.

1970s: Spray fragrances increasingly dominate the market, making concentrated perfume oils less common in mainstream retail channels.

Present Day: Surviving vintage perfume oils have become increasingly collectible among enthusiasts of discontinued fragrances and mid-century vanity items.

Generally classified as a floral fragrance, Vivi Jasmine centers around the rich, sweet aroma of jasmine blossoms. Jasmine has long been one of perfumery's most treasured floral notes, prized for its elegant, romantic character and natural richness. The concentrated perfume oil format allows the fragrance to wear closer to the skin while providing impressive longevity compared to many traditional alcohol-based fragrances.
