In 1958, in order to commemorate the launch of Sputnik, Lancome introduced two Georges Delhomme designed "Spoutnik" limited edition perfume presentations, one was a blue tinted opalescent glass moon faced purse flacon for the perfume Magie. This bottle was also used for other perfumes. Only 100 bottles were manufactured.
And the second bottle was shaped like a crescent moon with a smiling face also in blue tinted opalescent glass attached to a cobalt glass base, this too was a limited edition of only 100 examples and was used for various perfumes.
I recently started collecting perfumes dedicated to space exploration. Especially valuable are sets consisting of a case (box) and a bottle with a lapped stopper, in which the perfume itself is sealed. Basically, this is a perfume that was made in the USSR. The information about this perfume bottle dedicated to Sputnik is unexpected and extremely pleasant. Thanks!
