On newer boxes, the sticker is not glued on. I will follow the steps above. Baudruchage and barbichage arent really used in any other contexts, as far as I know.

I had put off trying to open it because I hated the thought of cutting the cord. June 3, 2014 at 3:13pm Reply, Mendokuse: I just opened a new bottle of Cuir de Russie today, and noticed that the wax seal melts a little when it comes into contact with the perfume (the seal now has my fingerprint impressed on one side), so I recommend that anyone who opens a bottle and intends to keep the cord and seal on it refrain from touching the seal until the perfume that leaks out along the sides of the rim and stopper has dried.

You simply push the cord off and take the stopper out. Thank you, Victoria! At Chanel, there are 8 such artisans for the entire house, while Guerlain employs 7. I only kept it on that bottle of No 19 to show what it looks like. I received a sealed vintage bottle of My Sin extrait and thought I would just have to look at it longingly for the rest of my days because I didnt know how to open it properly then I googled the matter and was led here. So on the bottle of Nahema that does not have a seal, what to you do with the string?
