Norell Cologne 2.25 Fl. Oz. (Vintage Packaging)

This item is a vintage cardboard box for Norell Cologne, indicating a net content of 2.25 fluid ounces. The box is predominantly off-white or cream-colored, with all text printed in black. The word 'COLOGNE' is centered at the top of the visible face, in a sans-serif, all-caps font. Below this, the brand name 'NORELL' is prominently displayed in a much larger, bold, sans-serif, all-caps font. Underneath the brand name, '2.25 FL. OZ.' is printed in a smaller, sans-serif font, also in all caps, indicating the volume. The overall construction of the box appears to be standard folded cardboard. The condition of the box suggests significant age and storage wear. There are numerous yellowish-brown stains scattered across the off-white surface, particularly noticeable around the edges and in the lower-left and upper-right quadrants of the visible face. The edges and corners exhibit considerable fraying, creasing, and minor tears, indicating handling and deterioration over time. The corners appear softened and slightly crushed. The cardboard itself has yellowed consistently in some areas, suggesting age-related discoloration rather than specific damage. Despite the wear, the printing remains mostly clear and legible, with no significant fading or smudging observed for the main text elements. The aesthetic aligns with packaging styles from the mid-20th century, likely between the 1960s and 1980s, given the Norell brand's history. The lack of a barcode or extensive modern regulatory information further supports its vintage status. This packaging represents a historical artifact of perfume marketing.
