Caron Bellodgia Extrait de Parfum in Original Box

This item is a vintage bottle of Caron Bellodgia Extrait de Parfum, presented in its original packaging. The perfume bottle itself is made of clear glass with a classic, somewhat rectangular, fluted design, giving it a faceted appearance. It is topped with a clear, multi-faceted glass stopper, hinting at a higher quality 'extrait' or pure perfume concentration. The liquid perfume inside is a rich amber or golden-brown color, which could indicate its age and the nature of its ingredients. A red label is affixed to the front of the bottle with 'BELLODGIA' prominently displayed, followed by 'CARON' and 'PARIS' in what appears to be a gold or light-colored font. A small string or thread is visible around the neck of the bottle, possibly a remnant of its original sealing or an attached tag. The bottle sits atop its original presentation box, which consists of at least two parts. The top portion of the box is a plain white or off-white rectangular box. Below it is another white box, featuring the bold black text 'CARON' and a pattern of small, circular motifs with internal designs – possibly stylized florals or starbursts, repeated across the surface. The side of the lower box also shows small text 'PARIS' and 'MADE IN FRANCE', indicating its origin. The overall condition appears to be relatively good, though the boxes show some minor creasing, especially on the lower box, suggesting handling and storage over time. The perfume level appears full, or nearly full. This specific presentation points to a vintage item, likely from the mid-20th century, retaining much of its original packaging and content, which is a significant factor in its collectible value.
