I was thrilled to find that Blue Waltz Perfume was still being made - I cannot estimate how many gallons of the stuff were given to mothers on Mothers' Day, the old ladies' birthday, and Christmas. This was back in the 1950's when we had a Ben Franklin Five and Dime in our town (Vineyard Haven), and, if Blue Waltz wasn't available, there was always Evening in Paris, which came in a cobalt-blue bottle.

I keep my BWP right on my kitchen table, near the pile of mail and other stuff that seems to accumulate, and I give it a little sniff now and then. The scent brings me back, to those days when Ma smelled like BW for a few days after her special occasion, and then she'd go back to Tabu, a much stronger blend.

Blue Waltz Perfume still comes in a heart-shaped, clear glass bottle, with the characteristic light blue cap that reminds me of an artichoke or those odd shapes on the Chrysler Building. I don't wear perfume, not even patchouli (even though I am an old hippy), but I do appreciate the evocative power of Blue Waltz Perfume.

Thank you, Amazon!!!

this was originally given to my mom when she was very little, so when i found it and found it didnt change- i got it for her for her 70th birthday.... boy was she surprised...and very happy...

When I was 17 (1959) my 15 year old girlfriend's sister give her this for her birthday. The scent made me crazy. It is just a nostalgic scent for me and keeps the memories alive. I still love her to this day.

Promptly received the above item in perfect condition and it smelled as wonderful as it did when I was a child and buying it for my mother for Christmas! every year!

As a young girl I often wore Blue Waltz Perfume and loved the soft, powdery scent. A few years ago I was able to purchase 2 bottles from a company online and was thrilled that it was the identical fragrance I remembered. I gave one as a gift to a childhood friend, as one of our favorite memories was buying these little 25 cent bottles of perfume at Woolworths when we were kids in the 1960's. My little granddaughter loves to dab on this perfume that sits on my dresser, so I wanted to get her her own bottle and another for myself. I could not have been happier with the ease of purchasing it through Amazon and the speedy delivery, but am disappointed in the product itself. Right off I could see that the perfume is darker and the label different. The fragrance is similar but much stronger, so I was disappointed. It was inexpensive, so just didn't want the hassle of returning it, but I don't wear it. The bottles look pretty, but that soft, powdery smell is missing.
