In the perfume world, these are called perfume nips. They were popular in the 1950s, apparently.
Thanks! I was googling all these keywords but I still had no idea what they were called.
Hi there,
Do you know what perfumes are in the nips? Just curious. I do love this idea...And they look kinda dangerous, or like they contain drugs. But I suppose if you like perfume, it is like a drug. :)
Perfumaniac, hi! No, I don't know what scents are in there. There used to be a slip of paper detailing all the perfumes (like the one in your blog post), but it's long gone.
The perfume nips look like needles...I can easily imagine accidentally cutting myself with them!
I have the exact same box! I can't figure out a way to post a picture here. (This is the first time I have posted on a blog! lol)
Email me at sharonrummell@aol.Com
I will email you the list! Some of these perfumes are no longer made and are all VERY high-end perfumes!
:) Sharon
