Dating precisely around the 1920s Art Deco era, the paper label bears the name \"Molinard Jeune\" (Molinard the Younger), marking a specific historic period for the brand before it consolidated. The fragrance is \"Pure Essence of Muguet\" (Lily of the Valley), formulated as a \"Non-Alcoholic\" concentrated oil extract.
Condition Highlights (Collector Quality):
• Flawless Glass: There are absolutely NO chips, cracks, hairline fractures, or flea bites anywhere on the glass bottle, collar, or base.

• Original Paper Label: The front label is entirely intact, fully legible, and boasts beautiful period typography. It shows minor, expected age-toning that adds to its authentic antique character.
• Complete Travel Set: Includes the original custom-turned protective wood travel case (treenware) with its matching screw-top lid. The threading works smoothly, and the case has a wonderful deep patina.
Exact Dimensions:
