This very rare vintage BLUE NIGHTS SOLID PERFUME COMPACT (Circa 1974-75) is amazingly "like new". Made with enduring Estee Lauder enamel, it certainly will make you feel far from "blue" when it's a part of your collection. This lovely piece is an example of the outstanding craftsmanship that these items are renowned for world wide. It is the precursor to the Blue Nights compact that was finally distribute in 1975 so this may have even been created as early as 1973 for review by Ms. Lauder and her staff. Aren't we glad it made the final cut???

If you’re new to collecting, please take a moment to read the story of these lovely pieces below:
Each year for more than forty years Estee Lauder has introduced a collection of limited edition solid perfume compacts. These compacts are beautifully designed and executed with incredible details and enhanced with beautiful enameling - some even glimmer with hand set colorful Swarovski crystals. Each one is truly a work of art that lasts and lasts with little or no loss of the original luster and beauty.
These perfume containers, some for liquid perfume and some for solid perfume, are always a limited edition, making them highly collectible. All are very well made with exceptional attention to detail. The vibrant enamels are always exquisite. The designs, contrast and textures always excellent. They are all so unique and colorful.
This a true work of art. The detail and use of colors is just incredible. These are highly collectible pieces of art work, and are produced one time a year and are rarely made again. This, along with the design and durability, makes them most highly collectible both in the U.S. and around the world. Special editions are rare and highly sought after with the prices on these vintage items continuing to rise over time.
Enjoy browsing, shopping, and OWNING some of these for your collection or start a collection for someone you love. The designs cover themes from fantasy to fun to heart-warming. For the twelve and under age set there are bunnies, teddies, and toy wagons. For the teens there are butterflies, sparkling jewels, ballet shoes and tutus. For the young adults there are telephones, purses and tennis rackets. And for the "mature" folks there is everything from cameos to beautiful vintage items like Jeweled Jukebox

What is solid perfume?
Solid perfume is the unique patented formula of fine scent oils combined with beeswax and other oils to make a semi-solid fragrance that is much more long lasting than alcohol based perfume. The scents actually remain true to the original formulary for decades, making it a very desirable way to use scent. Just rub a bit on your finger, apply it to your pulse points and enjoy the way it clings subtly all day!
Why does the price of an item vary?
For collectors of these solid perfume compacts there are several issues that determine the item’s value. 1). Is it full of the original perfume?
2). Does it have the original label attached? 3). Does it come with the presentation (gift) box? 4). Does it come with the original outer shipping box? For each “Yes” the value of the item increases in value for a collector.
