This is a small bottle of perfume that lost it’s label. I found it with my mother’s things after she died and love the scent. Thank you if you can help me out.

Are you going to post a photo?
My picture taking skills suck.
Wow. That looks just like a bottle my grandmother has. She won it in some contest. However she, too, has lost the label, and has no recollection of what it was called.
Some hints can be gleaned here though. My grandmother is 80+ years old, and she won it in High School, senior year. We also know that, so far, they where prone to losing their labels, or it would seem, though we only have 2 examples to go on so far. If that theory proves true, then it can be concluded that it was a common, store bought perfume. Most “high end” perfumes have etching or painted labels, not just paper and glue.
Another option for you to consider, (going with the assumption you want to find more to wear) you can take it to Dillards. I hate the perfume market there, and most of the people too, but they are damn good at what they do. They may be able to tell you what perfume it is, or if not that, they should be able to match the sent very closely.
Although you will be paying a “high end” price for it!
I can’t identify it, but some things to consider: the scent has probably changed over time so a new bottle might not be the same, if they still make it the recipe may have changed, and as always you’re very much in luck because it looks like it didn’t skunk over time!
It looks like of like Youth Dew by Estee Lauder. I think they are discontinuing or have discontinued, but I’d check with your local department store to see if they still carry or make.
One other thought. You might try sending your photo to the Perfume House in Portland (http://www.theperfumehouse.com/). The folks who run this place are very knowledgable.
@Dork: Oh my god! I am obsessed with perfume! How did I never know this was in my very own city?! I love you! :D
You can try to take the bottle to a perfume shop and they should be able to tell by it’s scent. Somebody must know.
I’ve seen that bottle… I want to say Yves St. Laurant or Givency…
hrm, I dug up the bottle (I have the same one) and it’s not Givenchy (Ysatis) which is what I was thinking of. Mine’s not marked either and also came from my grandma – hope we figure this out! :)
