ABOUT US  (Leslie Ann White) 

Who would have thought that a gift from her mother of one small Chanel bottle over thirty years ago would not only develop into a lifetime of miniature perfume bottle collecting, but also start Leslie Ann’s professional career in the cosmetics and fragrance industry? But that is precisely what happened.

 

Beginning as a drug store salesperson (Walgreen’s) where cosmetic companies such as Coty, Revlon, Max Factor, and Helena Rubinstein were in vogue, landed her two years later on a department store sales floor (Foley’s) selling for Prescriptives. In turn, her success in that role led to expanded duties as both a manager of the entire cosmetic and fragrance department and Assistant Buyer for cosmetics and fragrances for twelve department stores.

 

But Leslie Ann’s “big break” came following a successful interview with Clinique Labs in New York City that launched her six-year career as a Clinique Account Executive responsible for 24 accounts and $10 million dollars in annual sales! All the while, her passion for collecting miniature perfume bottles continued to be (and still is) her most favorite way of spending her free time.

 

Now in its tenth year, all of Leslie Ann’s perfume dreams came true on Valentine’s Day, 2009 with the opening of her very own Miniature Perfume Shoppe on the world-wide-web and is proud to be Auctiva Commerce's first store devoted exclusively to the miniature perfume bottle collector. With her extensive cosmetic and fragrance background, Leslie Ann brings to MPS both a passion for perfume bottle collecting and an intimate knowledge of the fragrance industry.

 

And today, with an ever-expanding inventory of 2,000+ miniature perfume bottles and as an active member of the IPBA (International Perfume Bottles Association), Leslie Ann still loves collecting her Chanel, but is now equally excited to help others build collections of their favorite fragrance and miniature perfume bottle.

 

Finally, Leslie Ann is also "mom" to three beautiful children and is blessed to work alongside her husband, Allen, who also serves as her business partner, webmaster, and (blush) truelove.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE ITEMS

 

All of the fabulous perfume miniatures we offer for sale are presented with the intention of being sold to perfume bottle collectors and are not intended for use as a personal fragrance. Also, most of our miniature perfume bottles are vintage and may be empty, full, or anything in between. For bottles that still contain any amount of liquid, we do not determine if the fragrance is still wearable. Of course, there is  always the possibility that the contents are perfectly good and usable. We just make no guarantee to that effect. We encourage you to always read the details of our descriptions carefully as we do our very best to provide you with a complete "picture" of the perfume miniature you are considering adding to your collection.
