These are all additional charges that come with all international sales that I do not personally collect on. Priority Mail International is the GOLD STANDARD & will be the only shipping used at my shop due speedy travel, frequent tracking scans, & its reliable delivery. Zero lost international packages to date. This service is the fastest, & the most reliable global shipping service from my postal carrier including constant tracking scans and delivery in as little as 3 weeks. There is a drastic difference and you are getting what you pay for with this pricier international shipping. If international shipping is not pricier in nature on high ticket items - then that's when you should be concerned.By purchasing with me internationally you also acknowledge that me offering international shipment on expensive, fragile, irreplaceable, & hazardous alcohol based perfumery items is a risk and challenge I happily chose to take on to reach a global audience. This decision alone on my part is already quite generous - The vast majority of perfumery shops decline to invest into that extra difficulty.Despite how expensive my listings may seem on top of international charges; my listings prices are studied and fairly priced for their exact selling value prior to listing. I sell for that exact sell value and don’t inflate it for room to negotiate.Please read this disclaimer, and personally weigh out the pro’s and con’s of an international shipment with me instead of expecting me to lower the fee’s for you. +FREE complimentary travel vial w/ fragrance of your choice!After your purchase; I will email you a list of available fragrances in stock at that time of purchase & you choose your scent :).Vial will be 5ML in size, in clear glass, w/ built in atomizer sprayer, protective plastic cap, and digitally labeled with my professional label maker with name of the fragrance - luxury travel size treatment!

Highly praised vintage fragrance merchant & longtime eBay member since ©2004.No, seriously! - My customers leave PARAGRAPHS lol.I LOVE what I do, and I do it BETTER. "Bravo to a truly exceptional seller and experience! I've been an Ebay member for over twenty years and this is one of my very favorite transactions. Guardian of the fragrances offers unique, rare products. Communication with the seller and description of the cologne are exceptional. The fragrance was lovingly packaged, including a couple "extra" gifts that were charming. Nathan even wrote a kind, personal note of appreciation. I look forward to working with him again, and you should too!" "I am a return customer. Another perfect order. The item arrived in perfect condition and as advertised. The seller provides plenty of pictures in each listing. Plenty of description in each listing as well. The seller's communication is great and is more than willing to answer any questions that a customer may have. The item was packaged in layers of bubble wrap. The seller also included a courtesy card and a complimentary sample. A pleasure to do business with. A+" "You have zero worries buying from the Guardian. He really is the truth. It's like going back in time and buying your bottles brand new. Super knowledgeable. Quick replies and shipping. Nothing but good things to say. Customer for life." "A very pleasant transaction. Seller's openness and his informative listings and plentiful pictures are a far cry from the typical eBay fragrance seller who tend to offer little if any info and a pic or two from near useless angles. Guardianofthefragrances does it the way it should be done! Really, way to go! A++++++++++++. Almost forgot to mention the freebies!" "I'm so happy with my Vintage Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio. Exactly as Nathan described. Packaged very well and extremely fast shipping. Best Vintage Fragrance seller on eBay by a mile. I will continue to keep buying off this great man. I'm so happy again with my purchase. 1OO% Thank you so much." "This guy is the Star Lord of the Guardians of the Fragrances! I won the auction, then immediately paid. As soon as I hit send of the payment, there was a knock at my door. It was the cologne from him. It was that fast! Hopefully I'll get to meet the Gamora of the Guardians next. Want to see if she is green all over...I mean ALL over." "This is my tenth (10th) vintage fragrance purchase from this trusted seller. A 1997 125ml bottle of Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male! Nathan always provides extremely fast shipping, a fair price for rare vintage fragrances, excellent communication, and secure packaging! Free bonuses included in the packages. I will definitely keep doing business with him again in the future!! A+" "Great experience all around. Seller was very responsive and polite when messaged and the cologne arrived quickly and was exceptionally well packaged. My husband took one sniff and said it was exactly what he remembered from high school and he could instantly picture being in the mall and the clothes he wore back then. He’s very happy for this olfactory “time machine”." "This was the best buying experience I’ve had on eBay ever. I’m not exaggerating. The seller is so knowledgeable, nice and helpful! Went above and beyond to answer all my questions, address all concerns, and the product was better than expected! Arrived early, packaged very well. I am very very happy. I will buy from him again without a doubt. Thank you!!!" "I could not be any happier with my purchase. Not only was it packaged with care but an absolute amazing seller!! Extremely knowledgeable within what he enjoys doing which is giving an in-depth breakdown towards vintage vs. current formulations. Vintage perfumes are like stored wine for many years and still packs a powerful punch. Nevertheless, I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys hunting vintage fragrances and see his listings. P.S. He even gives a 5ml sample with your purchase!!! Thanks A+++" "Purchased a rare vintage bottle of original Polo “green,” cologne. Smelled even better than described in its “original release scent!” 100% Accurate Description!! Smells amazing!! Great Price, Lightening Fast Shipping all the way to Australia!! Dynamite Packaging!!Super detailed and friendly communication answering all of my typical “Fraghead,” questions!! A++ Seller all the way!!!" "Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, genuine, and approachable regarding any and all questions. Also gifts a free sample of choice with purchase! Sells ONLY genuine vintage fragrances, so rest assured. I love how he enlightens the buyer as to why vintage formulations are superior to modern ones regarding ingredients used. Overall a 10/10 seller. Would definitely buy from again!" "Undoubtedly one of the best fragrance sellers on eBay. Very welcoming and polite. Top level knowledge in what he is selling (in this case vintage JPG Le Male). You can be sure that he knows how the fragrances are suppose to smell and wont sell any sour/bad fragrance to make easy money. Got answers on all my questions and a lot more. Best tracking I had so far in a order, very frequent updates. Very fast delivery to Europe in only about 2 weeks. Highly recommended seller!" "Easily one of, if not the best cologne/perfume sellers on EBay. Nate probably knows more about scents than most of us know. I consider him a olfactory savant. The item I ordered was delivered in extremely speedy fashion and came exactly as promised. Also, amazingly enough, he lets you pick out a small sample out of 25 or 30 scents that he sends in the package for free!! So awesome. The price was right and the transaction was simply perfect. One of the best Ebayers out there; hands down!!" Why should you spend SO much on a fragrance?(I know you are asking yourself this if you are new to all this). ✅UNLOCKS STORED MEMORIES IN THE BRAINS HIPPOCAMPUSFragrances have an olfactory fingerprint. The brain is so intelligently designed - that it stores a fragrance DNA's composition precisely to the very last ingredient used at that time. Try to smell a modern formula and see what happens - it's almost as if your brain gets confused, offended, and low key upset. Only that special formula composed 10-20-30-40 years ago is the key to unlock vivid feelings of nostalgia. ✅BETTER QUALITY, INGREDIENTS, PERFORMANCE, & ARTISTRYMade in times prior to cancel culture regulations, production politics, corporate greed, & making man made chemicals for profit; you get the authentic formula(s) the perfumery artist(s) intended from that time resulting in more naturals, less synthetic/cheap aroma chemical alternatives, richer compositions, bolder presence, more layers/less linear, and made in times where smoking was indoors- you get NUCLEAR performance.✅SMELL BETTER AND OR HIGHER QUALITY THEN OTHER MEN AROUND YOU.In a mass society unaware of vintage fragrances - you will absolutely without a doubt outshine whatever they are wearing. Gain respect, stand out, be the most attractive smelling in the room. In general this is what makes the male gender so enthralled with colognes but vintage amplifies this to the next level. Stop endless YouTube searches seeing if something modern performs - just buy vintage.✅INVEST MORE IN VINTAGE TO SPEND LESS OVER TIME ON MODERNVintage fragrances are stronger and need less sprays due to concentration; 72% vol of alcohol (28% oils) in 1995 vs. 88% vol of alcohol (12% oils) in 2023. It's not a coincidence they are removing vol %'s on colognes nowadays - they don't want us to know how weakened they are. Many collectors go niche and get into strange off-putting DNAs not realizing they can simply go designer vintage. Beautiful mass pleasing DNA's in the best quality and strength possible. The best way to go forward in perfumery is to go backwards.If you buy a vintage- You will realize a bottle that would have lasted you a year is now lasting you over 2+ years. Think about it- you are going from essentially a modern day 'body spray' (Modern edt) to a powerful parfum strength niche like juice. Once you go vintage it's illogical to go back.✅VINTAGE FRAGRANCES NEVER LOSE THEIR VALUE & *INCREASE* OVER TIME.Because of the mass, devoted, & awakening population of the vintage fragrance community; vintage fragrances are a collectible commodity matching similar value in precious paintings, antiques, jewelry, gemstones, diamonds, and gold! Unlike most things you 'drive' off the lot; this fragrance will likely be MORE in 2-5-10-15 years. This is my favorite part about being a collector; my purchase investments lack buyers remorse on as I am buying an investment for the future/ and or discreet savings to liquidate as needed. It's as easy to trade fragrances for cash as it is to liquidate your cash for gold.✅OVERALL BENEFITS OF INVESTING IN VINTAGE PERFUMERY AND AVOIDING MODERN FORMULAS✓ Confidence booster✓ Smell unlike anyone else & one of a kind✓ Vividly triggers locked memories✓ Spiritual enhancements✓ Concentrated Aromatherapy✓ Makes you more attractive✓ Greater impressions✓ Hidden equity – the modern ‘bars of gold’✓ Describe your personality better✓ Impress other people more✓ Positive moods further enhanced✓ Supporting the artistry and original vision of the DNA✓ Better connection to nature experiencing naturals (Reformulation talk...) Unfortunately, In a modern era's effort to make the small allergen pool of the population safe for the bigger masses (essentially a 'Safe than sorry' approach for everyone);Harsh fragrance regulations came into effect within the last 20 years in the EU (United Nations) where nearly all fragrances are still composed. The SCCS (Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety), IFRA (International Fragrance Association) & the ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) banded together to axe many precious naturals, and unique aroma chemicals in perfumery that have irritants to a small pool of the population. To this day every year it seems another ingredient is banned as these chemical giants are auditing Chemistry materials on what seems like an unnecessary 'Woke movement' cancel parade. To play nice and to still get credibility for selling 'Safe' fragrances; all Designer perfumery houses have played with these giants to get full EU support of their product(s). Between 2010-2022;The EU has now banned over 2,000 chemicals in the body, skin, hair, & fragrance industry.This massive chemical ban in body products is more than any other world region in history!In comparison, the United States has banned only 17 ingredients from body products made in the USA.Unfortunately for fragrance enthusiasts, a VERY small percentage of designers make their fragrances in America.By 2030; the EEB (European Environmental Bureau) anticipates over 5,000-7,000 ingredients to be banned in total. Rules, reformulations, synthetic ingredients, cost-cutting, & keeping up with modern scent trends have altered, & reduced the performance of many popular favorites from the past. This is not a theory or paranoia, this is becoming more evident & informative in the fragrance community since the rise of fragrance communities and fragrance Vloggers. Since this rise; vintage formulas are hunted and highly sought after by hobby-ists. Many are so used to newer compositions they have no idea what they are missing.vintage EDT formulas are well known to perform more like intense concentrated essential oil strength NICHE EDP's.Newer formulations of the modern age are said to perform like a end body spray with average performance but no character development. DET Vs. DPG:A chemist in Germany did a gas chromatogram composition breakdown on a vintage & modern day version. It was found that companies used to use a solvent Diethyl Phthalate (DET) on vintage versions which was known to have a stronger bonding fixative effect on the skin. Modern day fragrances are replaced with Dipropylene Glycol (DPG).DPG is commonly used in lightly fragrance'd shampoos and DET is in home candles. Candle companies don't use DPG as the fragrance would immediately leave the base. Makes you think. The death of Oakmoss:By far one of the most controversial and damaging IFRA regulations was the ban/limitations in natural Oakmoss. This popular ingredient is in near every legendary cologne; Davidoff Cool Water (Also reformulated), Aqua Di Gio (Also reformulated) Versace Eros (Also reformulated). Many are filled with weaker synthetics. Since Oakmoss rests in the base and has fixative effects fragrances also don't perform as well without it. 2022 Lilial ban:And if you thought your top / mid notes were safe. You're wrong. In 2021 The Scientific committee on consumer safety (SCCS) & the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) banned the note of lilial due to its reaction to sensitive skin (That's it?). They simply stated "It can sometimes act as an allergen." SOMETIMES? Lilial was a common note in modern perfumery. Lilial being a synthetic aromatic soapy aldehyde; it gave the self titled signature Versace Pour Homme it's sweet yet refreshing intense floral green odor.I don't understand this obsession with making sure the skin doesn't react to materials. Practically every face mask on the market 'Reacts' to your skin and in the long run - improves it's appearance. Doesn't skin strength train like muscles do? Fragrance shelf life scam:Reformulations are one thing, it's something that just can't be avoided. One of the biggest gaslighting scams on the otherhand that can easily be avoided is the myth fragrances naturally 'Expire/go bad' due to time alone.Fragrances are not your local produce guys, they are a balanced chemist composition of naturals and fragrant chemical aromas full of preservatives. If that alone wasn't enough; that recipe is then preserved in a percentage average of 80% ALCOHOL. resulting in 'maybe' 10% natural ingredients to think 10% natural ingredients are up against and a threat against 90% chemical aromas, preservatives, and alcohol is a HUGE stretch. Alcohol based fragrances should be compared to 50-100 year old bottles of preserved and cherished wine. Like wine, fragrances in fact get better with age from the process of maceration; when naturals soak in chemicals for extended periods of time making the juice richer and full of character. Fragrances are not fresh hand made cosmetics with no preservatives - quite the opposite. Fragrances were even recovered from the 1912 Titanic wreck with no sign of expiring.A perfumer perished in the wreck resulting in a sachet left behind on the BOTTOM of the ocean for over 100 years. This sachet contained mini corked bottles of fragrant oils and perfumery. In an artifact examination room upon recovery, amongst the death, muck, tragedy, and solemn sorrow of decomposing materials the perfumery was opened up and by surprise brought the room to LIFE again, aromas of beautiful fruits, florals, resins, and woods sourced from so long ago. The experience was so powerful to the scientist- it made a grown man cry. Fragrances can be mishandled, left in sunlight, heat, and other neglectful extremes...but most certainly don't go bad from just the passing of time.I guess any myth works for these fragrance industries that want you coming in to buy their 'fresh' bottles. The modern day scent:I say all that to say; modern day fragrances as a whole - are complete and utter trash...whether that be a brand new composed scent or a reformulation of a classic. The modern recipe:Fake citrusy candy-like tops to lock you in, aromatic-mids to give you masculinity and bare minimal classic nostalgia, then a base gob-smacked with scratchy ambroxan / synthetic molecules completed with nauseating sweetness to ultimately gaslight you so don't notice how 'fake' the entire composition smells. It's truly depressing what they release nowadays.You might as well wear your household cleaner. fortunately, In every generation......A guardian is born.A guardian to make the world a better place.Now, our memories are under siege.You may wonder..."What is happening to my cologne, and why?""Is it all in my head?"...It's not. Designer brands are gaslighting you.Retail associates are lying to you.They don't want you to know about me...the Guardian of the Fragrances.Vintage formulas taking asylum and preserved under my guardianship.The awakening is growing, don't be left out.Be a part of the fragrance safehouse and house a bottled refugee today. (ALL ABOUT ARMANI EAU POUR HOMME) Wardrobe category is!;short sleeve button up & dark blue jean jacket on a crisp spring morning. The relevancy of this 39 year old fragrance continues in the fragrance community to this day. Still No designer fragrance on the shelves today compares to the intriguing DNA of this Lemony basil oakmoss easy breezy beauty in its sought after vintage formulation. King of 80's warm weather elegance - zingy - crisp - mossy. They don't make them like they used to.Unfortunately like many good things in life - eras must come to an end and humans interfere to change something already perfected. Armani Eau pour homme's note composition is nostalgic to this day. Something about the mix of Fruit, herbal greens, and dirty earth - it's beautiful & natural smelling.No fake base notes or offensive animalics. Fresh lemon, crisp green basil, sexy oakmoss bomb.

Despite its composition - this lasts for hours - must be the oakmoss.Elegant yet casual and modest. The Libra of the lemon chypres.It sort of reminds me of Drakkar Nor WITHOUT the Noir if that makes sense. Same zingy lemon nuances without the dark lavender. Rests into a grassy old school sparkle. It's a shame you can't find anything like this nowadays. This is ART! Even more importantly - its shocking how REAL this smells! You can pickup all the notes as if grown in a back garden - no stanky ambroxan and fake aroma-chemical smells in this not even in the base notes.Fits a specific personality type that's as unique as the scent itself.Bravo Armani!*(I've been told I have a talented nose, artistic vision, critical mind, & articulate verbal delivery. I have included this personal critique in the factual section due to the confidence in my skills to verbalize the olfactory world.Before I present an argument - I value structure & evidence - resulting in a gold standard of perfumery journalism.Please note: the formula, your personal experiences, memory, and taste may contradict my critique). (SPECIFIC LISTING DETAILS - WHAT YOU ARE BUYING) Vintage fragrances are well known to give errors on batch code sites to place the year. Vintage batch codes are either missing, will commonly not work on batch check websites, OR repeat every 10 years and mislabel the timeline. As a researcher, these quirks are what drew me to research bottles by means bottle features, distributer history, zip codes, juice color, and overall label information. I can place this in 1999 and confirmed its vintage from personal research. Send me an email if you have more questions about my dating process. Made in the 90's - kinda cool. Tested on my wrist for testing purposes. Incredible composition and quality. Smells & performs like it should. Excellent staying power for a citrus based scent. So much more complex than the modern day stuff.It's a darker and mossier formulation compared to todays standards. This 24 year old bottle is still in like new condition.Slight wear on the metal bottom - has slight markings but it just gives it character & vintage charm imo. Working sprayer, no leakage. Well preserved regardless for being over 2 1/2 decades old. Please note:-Bottle is full & only missing a few test sprays to confirm integrity.-No original packaging nor cellophane included - will ship securely.Please be aware of these quirks prior to purchase. Quality tested with my experienced nose - working atomizer & grail gorgeous juice. Looks as if it just left the factory over 24 years ago so it's a time capsule from 1999. These just keep getting more rare especially well preserved bottles in good condition.Decent price for a collector to try this iconic original well preserved formulation!Concentrated juice means less sprays- this 100 ml. will last you forever! Esp if you save this beauty for only summers. This historic vintage formula is a long-lasting investment in your personal grooming arsenal, ensuring that you'll always be prepared to make a lasting impression. Item comes from my own private collection.This is a hard sell - if you are a fragrance collector like me - you know the inner battle.Grab it before I change my mind.

About your guardian: In every generation...a guardian is born. Nathan R. HolsclawCounterfeit Investigator | Quality Appraiser | Vintage Perfumery Vendor Hey there,I'm a mid-western Wisconsinite living in downtown Milwaukee, WI - just an hour north of Chicago, IL.In the Midwest comes all four seasons in their extremities ; from Arctic temps to heat-waves. Given a huge part of practical perfumery collecting for use is geography in temperature;these extremes have helped me properly test & explore a range of fragrance DNA's and overall have influenced me to collect far more than the average individual. I have been a 'frag-head' my entire life; from 'Mr. Sketch' 12- pack scented markers & Crayola 'Magic Scent' crayons as a child, working at Bath & Body Works in my teens, & discovering LUSH handmade body products & perfumery brand in my 20's. Now as of current I enjoy being introduced to Designer house fragrances formulas from the past and to not only study the trends from the past and experience vintage formulas but to also master my olfactive memory. I have a particular passion for vintage designer fragrances due to their deep connection to our past. These treasures are truly time capsules and in fact time machines; from societal pop culture to the memories of our relatives; vintage designer fragrances are the closest humanity has came to immortality. Designer are not only more mass pleasing in general. In a world so based in science- can't think of anything more magical. Along with this touch of magic- comes what I like to call 'pseudo-science' perfumery; the opposite of magic and time travel. There is nothing more disheartening than when our magic potions get distorted and reformulated with cheap alternatives & synthetics. This distorts our scent memory and leaves us confused and questioning our memories. It's fascinating to me how the IFRA (International fragrance association) is allowed to influence fragrance houses to alter their compositions yet governments & administrations allow tobacco products and junk food to be sold to the public and slowly kill us. What is even more shocking; these fragrance houses and companies not only 'obeying' these IFRA recommendations, but they are training their retail sales floors & Customer service phone reps to downright lie about such changes and misinform the public and gaslight you. This is UNACEPTABLE! As a private investigator in Revenue Protection for over 10 years; I efficiently investigate/ validate facts, debunk fraud and confirm authenticity of the incoming product. I use this while searching and validating vintage fragrances! These scattered lost remains are a calling to me- something to rescue, revive, and guard which is where I self discovered the 'Fragrance Guardian' name. Perfumers are artists and their compositions are works of art in their true original forms. I feel its my legacy to not only inform the fragrance community about such formulations; but keep them alive and well by providing them to the retail market & sell them to appreciative homes. I feel my unique combination of my sales degree from the state of Wisconsin (class of 2010), 10 years of investigative experience in Revenue Protection, and a deep passion of fragrances give me an efficient, special, & trusted service in the fragrance vendor market. As your fragrance guardian- I give your memories eternal youth. "Buy this vintage fragrance; and your memories will never grow even one day older. Don't buy it, and continue to watch the past fade. Siempre viva - Live forever!" (KEY BULLET DISCLAIMERS) •I am NOT an authorized dealer by the brand, I am a private fragrance vendor and eBay seller for over 20 years selling fragrances as a hobby and personal passion. I am your 1 and only seller with guardianofthefragrances. •All listings are tested, authentic, properly stored, well preserved, & suited to personal taste/ memory. •Being a vintage based fragrance shop; all vintage listings are in 'as-is' condition with possible quirks such as used fills, no original boxes, bottle blemishes, ect. All these features are charming features of collecting vintage bottles. I do NOT sell bottles with severely damaged foundations such as cracked glass or broken atomizers. Rest assured your item should work upon delivery and last until its empty. •I do NOT sell fake, 'sour', or poorly cared for fragrances, nor do I buy my stock from shifty sources such as the Russian Federation. I am a collector with keen smarts and would never make such rookie mistakes in my own personal collection nor in my passionately run business. •I have been a revenue protection investigator at my main job for over a decade; everything in my shop is inspected and tested to determine authenticity, preservation, and era of manufacture. Your final satisfaction is the ending goal while listing these fragrances. Not to make a quick buck. Anything questionable after my inspection doesn't make the cut. •The POA (Period after opening) symbol is simply a suggestion that went into effect in 2005. Fragrances last for decades with proper storage and care. •Due to some fragrances containing more than one vintage formula & recent IFRA regulations dramatically altering modern fragrances, fragrance formulas from my shop may not match your exact memory. Properly educating yourself is a part of this fragrance hobby, jumping to accusations of my wrong doing just delays reuniting with your beloved formula desired. •Your item WILL be video packaged at my post office - from showing what's being shipped to then taken into the hands of USPS without filming cuts - I will have video proof of what I mailed to you. No funny business or return scams. •For your protection from package theft/loss, ALL fragrances from my shop purchased within the USA will require a signature upon delivery with USPS. This is not a purchased errand, this is good revenue protection paid for from my OWN pocket. If waiting at home to sign for your package is an inconvenience, you may schedule ahead to pickup the item from your local post office or arrange a digital signature online with USPS. See your local USPS location or visit the website for further info regarding signatures. •International VAT taxes may or may NOT be automatically added to your final check out at my shop. This all depends on the country. If VAT taxes are not on your checkout order, then they will likely be billed within your local customs agency and will require you to pay it before they deliver your item to you. These are all 3rd party fees I do not collect on and are outside my control, please contact your local customs within your country for further info. (End of listing).
