NOTE: A closely related bottle designed by Félicie Wanpouille Bergaud for "Nuit De Noel Parfum" by Caron can be found in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

All perfume bottles and stoppers in good condition, with no large chips, cracks or repairs. The bottle for "Surrender" by Ciro was manufactured by Baccarat but is not marked, collar slightly rusted, and gilt serigraphy naming the scent slightly worn. The stopper of the Lanvin bottle has minor loss of gilding. The larger Caron bottle is illegibly inscribed on the base, and both Carbon bottles have gold corded collars that are intact but worn. All bottles have been emptied of original perfume. Simpson Galleries strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder.
