Exact item shown is the exact item you will receive Press:From CLEOPATRA'S BOUDOIR Thursday, January 9, 2014In the Caron boutiques, some very precious perfume extracts are housed inside gleaming Baccarat crystal and ormolu urns. The urns are called “Les Fontaines Baccarat Inside the sumptuous urns, are Caron’s haute couture fragrances. Once lost and discontinued, these revived scents are the some of Caron's finest perfume compositions of all time.With the ritualistic act of filling the perfume bottle from the fountain, all of the special heritages of these perfumes live on. The perfumes are collected from the small bronze taps into bottles of all sizes, which are then finished with a antique style golden braid.The urns typically measure 18.5" tall x 7" wide and have an 8" diameter, the square base measures 5" X 5". The base will be acid stamped with the Baccarat logo.In the New York Caron boutique, the 12 Caron fountains, were modeled after the ones in the Caron boutique in Paris. The perfume is sold by volume (7.5 milliliters for $80; 200 for $500). A full urn (which someone did buy in Paris) was for sale for about $10,000 in 2000. By 2009, a fountain containing perfume will set you back at $25,000.The perfume is decanted right in front of you, and even though Caron does not provide a bespoke fragrance making service, Natalie Calmness, Caron's Paris-based creative director, says that it is not unusual for customers to personalize their scent by mixing one or two together. "Both Isabelle Adjani and Madonna come into the boutique and mix their perfumes at the fountains," she says (and Princess Caroline of Monaco is another Caron fan). "It's a way of making your fragrance unique. You can even bring in your own perfume bottle and do it yourself." (Condition: Pre-Owned)
