We are decanting out of an incredible find. I have obtained two new old stock bottles of JF-985 which is the storybook packaging of the 10ml bottle of perfume from 1974. I'm always on the hunt for more, but this is getting harder and harder to find. I couldn't believe my luck in coming across two bottles of this!!
