Browsing through a 1950s vintage Avon Catalog (my vintage cream sachet collection)

[@sethhunnicutt8678]

As an Avon Rep, I LOVE seeing this!! I so wish, with all my heart, this is how cosmetics were still packaged. Each piece is truly a work of art. And just makes the ritual of getting ready for the day or for the evening/night a luxurious and magical experience. No packaging today compares to these beauties of yesteryear!

[@lyricalone1963]

Besame cosmetics uses vintage style. Cotillion is the oldest fragrance for Avon it was introduced in 19 34.

[@gerigowers8318]

Wow, there's no comparison to today's AVON catalog. I was born in the 50s and remember when AVON lipstick samples were in pretty metal cases. Why do companies stop concentrating on what they do best and veer off into overwhelming people with so many choices...clothing, cheap jewelry, etc.? I remember having the Topaz cologne which was my favorite. I love the sachet containers you have too.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Awe thanks I know right I love vintage Avon too

[@maryleachmanbeautyconsultant]

i agree. They do it to cut costs. Plus Avon isn't owned by the same people anymore. The company changed hands. Those beautiful containers and the beautiful packaging were/are probably expensive. I think those things gave Avon a competitive edge and made people want to order Avon products. I attribute the company's success to these things. That's how it made a name for itself. But the company changed hands and the rest history. My mom's good friend sold Avon for over a decade (as far as I know--maybe longer than that). She was good at it. She sold those products to her friends, church members, and people that lived in our community. I remember my mother bought several things from her over the years. I remember her buying those fragrances for various female and male relatives. The novelty bottles are what made her want to buy them. The were so charming and each one was a little work of art. That's what made Avon special. Plus the products were still affordable for most people. I think Avon ladies used to keep a little inventory in their homes in the days before the internet.

Hi, lv the catalog I'm actually an older person who used Avon in the 60s as a teen. Lovely packaging and one of the few cosmetic companies who embraced people of color as representatives. Thereby one of the few cosmetics brands producing some foundation colors for people of color.. Outstanding in its time ✌🏿️👌🏾👼🏿😇💕

I shed a tear when I watch you scanning the brochure it reminded me of my mama who used to be an avon lady until her death. Though the brochures are much more ordinary looking compared to yours. I continue being an avon dealer but not as serious like my mother. We deeply love far away classic until this day.

Thanks Cyril, I sell Avon too! It’s pretty casual for me but I love getting the catalogs in the mail and the products are amazing

[@sygrid29]

Laura Jane Atelier most of the time avon perfumes are laughing stocks for the fragrance community but I differ since most of it are composed by famous perfumers who made black opium and dior jadore. I can say that it is the same as most of the designer perfumes on the market but much cheaper and more long lasting to be honest. Here in the philippines we have a limited options but at least we still got the classic far away and imari and the most recent offerings. But the classics are the best. The modern chanel no. 5 is very similar to soft musk yet much gentle and more modern smelling

@@Laurajaneatelier Hi Laura, absolutely love your channel. My Darling Mum used to sell Avon when we lived in the UK . The Topaz cream used to have what looked like a huge yellow faceted diamond on the lid. Also I remember a lady ordering a lipstick called WHITE ICING I couldn't resist a peek , this would have been 1968 approx it was absolutely the whitest lipstick I have ever seen !!! It was the 60's though all pale pale lips , I was only 7 years old, I was spellbound, & the black cream jar is called OCCUR ! Your Avon book is absolutely divine, what a find , it is in pristine condition & so many products in there I didn't know they sold . The jars you have collected are divine, wish they made them still. Love from Australia 🇦🇺💚❤💜💋

[@lightwork11]

The Avon products were so beautifully packaged and the scents were so feminine. They made me feel grown-up when I was a young teen. I miss those beautiful containers and the vintage scents like To A Wild Rose, Topaz, Charisma, and Here's My Heart, especially in the cream sachets. They lasted all day and were not overpowering.

[@ladywytch129]

I wish companies would go back to such beautiful packaging! I currently decant most of my products into other containers that aren't so industrial looking.

[@amycoffin826]

My mother loved the scent Topaz which was packaged in a yellow and white jar or bottle. Avon always had holiday inspired products in their catalogues such as Thanksgiving (fall), Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day, etc.

When I was a little girl I remember my grandmother had Avon perfume bottles on her dresser. In the 60’s when I was a young teen my mother let me order Avon perfumed cream sachets. My favorites back then were Elusive, Unforgettable, Bird of Paradise and Honeysuckle. Your video really took me back. How I treasured those lovely little containers! I wish those scents were still available today, I’d buy them. The packaging was so lovely and feminine back then. Sighs 👍💕

[@bluegirl4079]

I loved this video. My mother was an Avon Representative throughout the 60's, 70's, and 80's. I was such a lucky girl to have access to the samples and products. In the small community where we lived, there was a variety store and finally a T.G.& Y., but there weren't many places to buy beauty products. Mom was a welcome visitor for women to take a break, sit down and have coffee with her while she detailed the new colors and scents. I recognized many of the products and scents you have. Nice job.

[@HucklebridgeC]

Talk about a trip down memory lane! With 3 sisters, we'd fight over who got to look at the catalogue first and test mother's lipstick and perfume samples on the day the Avon lady was due. Laura, did you see if there was the fragrance called 'Forever Spring' is in that catalogue? Mama wore that right before daddy got home. Maybe that's why there were 8 of us. Lol🙂

Don't forget to follow me on Instagram and say hello:) instagram.com/dahliasintheattic/ Let me know if you have tried any of these vintage Avon products

[@meckismicki]

The music, catalog, and products were a combination for a tear jerker! I remember my mother having so many of those when we came from deployment in Germany. We were stationed in Oklahoma and for the first time our neighborhood had an Avon representative. She and my mother became close friends. My mother had several other friends in the neighborhood that she had met in Germany and were also deployed to Oklahoma. When the Avon representative came to our house my mother had her friends over for coffee, cake, conversation and Avon. Almost like a High Tea. There they would browse through the catalog, test samples and do their ordering. So many of the vintage bottles went into the trash when emptied. Some we were given to play with and our imaginations were unlimited. Even though I collect vintage makeup now. What I wouldn't give to have one from my late mother. Thank you for the walk down memory lane.

[@hollywebster6844]

I remember "To A Wild Rose". It wasn't my mother's favorite, but she had just about one of every Avon scent! We had a big rose garden and I recall being disappointed that the cologne didn't smell like real roses. In the 70s, Avon came out with "Roses, Roses" and that scent really captured the hybrid tea rich and fresh scent. Lovely walk through my childhood! Thanks!

[@jessiebaker9313]

Hearing you say all the names of these sachets takes me back to when I was a little girl. The Avon Lady would visit every 2 weeks, and she would say the magical names...Somewhere, Bird of Paradise, To a Wild Rose ..

[@buyerbware25]

I think that the red cream sachet with the starburst lid was in the fragrance "Persian Wood."

[@ruthhall1016]

Growing up in the 70’s I remember Occur, Charisma, Honey suckle, Hawaiian, and a couple other one. My grandmother and mother and many many ladies bought from Avon back then. I remember the roll on perfumes, and bath products.

[@gloriaj.pinsker9577]

My mother was an Avon lady in the 1950s and this brings back some fond memories. I certainly remember the cream sachets and To a Wild Rose. They also used to give the Avon representatives tiny tiny little sample tubes of lipstick. I loved playing with the leftovers as a child. 😊 BTW, Cotillion is pronounced "coat-till-yin." It's an old-fashioned word for a dance or ball. Thanks for this trip down Memory Lane!

[@JM-jt2zd]

Avon discontinued products (specially perfumes and colognes) that were amazing. Moon wind, Foxfire, Clint, Rugby, etc. A company that really its legendary and its fading away...Sad! And the beautiful decorative bottles and decanters. 🙏 Thanks for bringing this. Really good memories

[@ruthannemackinnon588]

LOVED those cream sachets in the 70's, To a Wild Rose was a beautiful scent, much better than the rose scents available today. Wish they'd bring it back. There is something to feminine and special about cream sachets, wish they were still around :(

Why can't they still sell such products, and print catalogs like that? Everything is in a clear order, one can find what one is looking for and there are pictures of the products and a description. They don't manage that nowadays any more - catalogs are now full of garish pictures and everything is pictured all over the place, descriptions are somewhere else or non-existent, and one can't find anything. And modern packaging for cosmetics is all black and gray and cheap plastic!

Little Kitty amen I can go on a 6 hr tangent about the decline of Avon. I've been buying Avon since I was a teen, now 63. Love the cream sachets, when the perfumes came in their signature beautiful bottles, not a generic clear glass. I've got an Avon lady, but hard pressed to find anything to order. Brochure full of overpriced crap, cheap jewelry, candles, and Clothes,please stop! Now they are selling products from other companies. I could go , but you get my drift

[@LittleKitty22]

@@rebeccarains177 I fully agree, and the quality of Avon products is appalling now. Until about 15 or so years ago they still made some good lipsticks at least, but now - forget it, I had ordered some Avon lipsticks in 2018, ended up throwing the whole lot out it was that disgusting! Their perfumes now smell like toilet cleaner, and they seem to try to appeal to trailer trash now rather than to normal women. Appalling what has become of that company!

Love old catalogs and have quite a few! In terms of the Avon sachets, I wanted to share with you that Cotillion was one of my favorites! For what it’s worth, a Cotillion back in olden days, was a French country dance to teach respectful manners to young people, but, in the 60s and 50s and 40s a Cotillion was like a debutante ball, or a dressy dance, primarily for the younger set, but I’ve seen older people dancing at Cotillion’s and they weren’t chaperones!

I remember quite a few of those products, I love the vintage packaging , it makes me feel so nostalgic.

[@Stevanilla]

To A Wild Rose was re-issued by Avon in the early 90s as a limited release. My mother bought the re-issued version at the time bc she used to wear it as a teen. It was a strong, rose based oriental with a very subtle dose of oak moss. The sweetness of the rose with juxtaposition of the spiced mid notes were so unique. I can still smell it thinking about it. Nothing else has ever smelled like it. You would have loved it. I remember my mother remarking that the re-issue was true to the original formula. If you can find it on ebay or Etsy buy it. The re-issued bottle will be in a white elongated bottle with a pink crown plastic cap. As for your pronunciation of Cotillion, you about had it. Cotillion parties were big in the south when girls "came of age" and had matured enough to display proper ettiquit. Some places in the deep south still do them but not mainly in name rather than purpose. Cotillion is a more pre-turn of the 20th century term. It involved a dance similar to square dancing involving 3 or 4 couples. ( if im writing anything you already know, just over look me, I'm a nerd) Avon naming their cologne that in the 50s was probably novel to appeal to more mature women consumers I'm guessing. That cologne was made until the 80s and it was not a scent I remember very well as far as scent notes, etc. I love that you made this video.

I own two vintage avon cream sachet jars, to wit, lilac and another with a spring green and gold colored flower embossed motif on the lid; both are empty but the lilac sachet jar smells of lilacs and sadly the lid has a patina on it from age though the label is intact. When I was in Jr. High school, my great Aunt gifted me a vintage Revlon lip stick case: it was gold toned with rhinestones all over it. It went missing though, I believe my sisters lifted it when I was in high school. I marveled at how beautiful the packaging was. I love the idea of buying a well constructed gorgeous lipstick case and refilling it with just the bullet. Women had such style.
