1. Very Good. We are pretty sure the label has been applied to this bottle in recent years. This is based on the fact that numerous unused stock labels for various products from this pharmacy were found years ago, this is likely one of those, so an original label, but highly likely not on the original bottle. The label has some stains and discolouration. The bottle itself has a flake to rear outer lip. Tiny nick or two to base edge. Some scratches. A bit hazy in places. 2. Excellent. Still has half the contents, which have a fragrant aroma. The cork is soft, this would almost certainly leak during post, so post is not recommended. If it is posted, we will not guarantee that it won't leak. Some grime. Label is discoloured with some stains as well. Small scratch or two. 3. Excellent. The lid comes off, don't have a sniff if you win this item - it's strong! Some dust and grime. A bit of discolouration to the label which has a tear at the bottom. Maybe a few fine scratches. Grade: N/A Estimate: $15 - 25
