Many of the 'perfume' scarves that you come across will more than likely have been released as a 'freebie - giveaway' to celebrate either the launch a new perfume or possibly as a special Christmas promotion or something of that nature, in some instances they were worn by the sales staff selling or promoting the perfume, whatever the case it is one of those 'get it while you can' situations as the offer is usually very limited resulting in a first come first served situation to those purchasing a perfume, these offers are very rarely repeated so make sure that you don't miss out should you come across one of these scarves as they are also of great interest to perfume bottle collectors. From time to time some 'perfume' scarves were released to employees only at company seminars and conventions etc., thus making them rarer still.
KARL LAGERFELD - 1980 K L Perfume

seminars and was not available in retail shops, another cross collectable with
those who collect perfume related memorabilia.

different perfumes - this small French cotton scarf has lovely graphics
similar to the Anais Anais bottle itself and is signed Cacharel on one corner.
PALOMA
PICASSO - A very extrovert scarf with great graphics as one would
expect from the house of Picasso. This scarf is non silk although I have seen similar
scarves passed of and sold as silk on internet sites. In the late 1990s
Picasso also released other silk scarves as apart of a promotional offer
when purchasing a perfume, they came in different colourways and featured
different designs by the famous man himself.

CHAMPS ELYSES and came with cerise pink packaging. Another cross collectable

state which perfume. Lovely graphics.
