Have a vintage Christmas with classic fragrances

Nothing can evoke a memory quite like a scent, instantly transporting you to a time or place gone by. Take your loved ones on a beautiful trip down memory lane with a vintage fragrance. Choose their favourite and you’re sure to spark a lifetime of memories – whether it’s a signature scent from years before or something saved for special occasions, perfume has an incredible ability to turn back time. Flower and gift specialist Rainbow has sourced a fantastic range of perfumes from yesteryear, and the easy online shop means you don’t even have to face the department store crowds.

The scents that built the reputations of today’s most famous perfume houses can be found in the Rainbow perfume store, from Elizabeth Arden’s Green Tea to Givenchy’s Amarige, Guerlain’s Samsara, Rive Gauche by Yves Saint Laurent and Worth’s Je Reviens. Or choose from Apple Blossom, Tabu, Pagan, Cacherel’s Anais Anais, Carven’s Ma Griffe or Yardley’s Lavender. You’ll even find the famously historic 4711 – arguably the earliest true cologne – that was first introduced in 1792. And the men in the family aren’t forgotten either, with Worth Pour Homme and Noir lining up alongside classics such as Ralph Lauren’s Polo, Davidoff Cool Water Jazz, Tabac, Mandate, Givenchy Gentleman and that old favourite – Brut.

It isn’t just perfume you’ll find at Rainbow, the site is also home to luxury skin care from Harley Street Skin – with savings of up to 80%! Seasonal flower bouquets, gorgeous giftware and an incredible selection of ‘living gifts’ complete the range. Stunning orchids, beautifully classic roses and wonderfully scented gardenias and jasmine make gifts that will bring years of pleasure.
