The bottom is etched only with Worth Paris...no volume or anything else. The stopper is round with an embossed W. It does still have a small amount of perfume inside which smells great. I am trying to determine if this is the Je Reveins.

After all, with IdI such a bestseller, it should follow that the "iris champion" on the market would resent the segmentation inflicted on its territory by lesser gods.

I think Je Reviens is such a classic that it might be worth the effort to track down a little bit of the vintage to try it out.

I was hoping to read something about a Worth perfume I recently found on a fleamarket for €5: Fleurs Fraiches (in EDT), have you ever heard of it, or even smelled it? I googled it, but all I could find out was that it was released in 1973, and the packaging does look its era(see also http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=318921713 ).
