Comments on: House of Weil http://scentzilla.com/2006/09/26/house-of-weil/ A monster perfume habit. On a rampage... with a wanton waft of sillage in its wake. Fri, 25 Jul 2008 03:48:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.3 by: reets http://scentzilla.com/2006/09/26/house-of-weil/#comment-17236 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:53:33 +0000 http://scentzilla.com/2006/09/26/house-of-weil/#comment-17236 A fascinating read! I have an unopened bottle of the original Weil Secret de Venus Bath and Body Oil (I'm currently using another one sparingly....it IS intoxicating!), and was wondering if anyone could tell me the best way to store the unopened bottle. Would it help if I store it in the refridgerator? It doesn't seem to go bad, as the one I'm using is more than fine, but just in case, I'd like to store it in the best way possible. Thanks!

Having been some younger I weared Antilope and Weil de Weil - but then both fragrances got lost. Two years ago my son brought me Antilope and Weil the Weil from US. To be frank I was very disappointed by the Antilope - I remember another type of scent and also the wrapping was strange to me. Weil de Weil was okay - I enjoyed it really. Now I am seeking for the original Antilope - the noble very fine delicate feminine fragrance - as I remember it from the time of my university studies in 70s.

I have noticed that they are becoming increasingly popular on ebay. However I am unsure of the date this one was made. The Made in France stamp is on the front of the bottle not the bottom. and there is a stamp on the bottom of the bottle that looks like a little flame in a little oval, it is tiny. Could this be any indication of the date of the bottle? Would appreciate any recommendations. I recently discovered a mini 1/8 oz SDv Zibeline bottle in my perfume collections.

I would not sell these for any amount of money. There is no perfume on the market today that can compare to these scents. They are wonderful and the smell is noticed by men and women and they always ask me what I am wearing. if anyone ever hears of someone who is using the same formula once again please let me know. I have searched all over for these bottles but alas to no avail. The smell of each of these is so special and so romantic and you feel like all is good in the world and within yourself...and to celebrate in being a woman... Please bring back Secrets de Venus the women of the world need it! I have used cassandra, zibelene(my favorite) and have in my

I have half a bottle left from the 1970s and only wear it on special occasions. My Aunt Jewell wore it in the 50s and I loved to be near her just to get a whiff! I just ordered a bottle of the Antilope from Paris (a vintage bottle with a blue lid similar to the one in the picture) and now understand why it does not smell the same as Zibelene; thank you for your article explaining the difference. Bring back this wonderful fragrance; I want to smell the mysterious scent and bask in its loveliness. I too am a lover of the Zibelene version.

My mom used to wear Secret de Venus Zibeline, and when I left for college in the late 70s, I took her 1 oz bottle with me. It was OLD then, and I remember I absolutely fell in love with it. It was heavy and animalic and, to me, had an anise note in the dry down. When I lived in France after college (in the 80s), I purchased the Zibeline spray (I think edt?)and loved it too, though found it quite different. What intrigues me is that Weil isn't "known" like Chanel or Guerlain...barely a mention in Luca Turin's guide...yet the prices for the vintage juice is soaring. Why do you think Weil fragrances aren't as recognized? Oh my goodness, I can’t believe I found this site!

I recieved it while I was in college in 1971. I wonder if the date above about Chunga is correct. I found a 2oz bottle on ebay that is in Arabia for nearly $500, including shipping, but that is way too expensive for me. Does anyone know of another perfume that might be close to the fragrance of Chunga that I could afford? I have been trying to find a bottle of chunga for over 30 years.
