Welcome!
Welcome to my unique perfume blog! Here, you'll find detailed, encyclopedic entries about perfumes and companies, complete with facts and photos for easy research. This site is not affiliated with any perfume companies; it's a reference source for collectors and enthusiasts who cherish classic fragrances.
My goal is to highlight beloved, discontinued classics and show current brand owners the demand for their revival.
Your input is invaluable! Please share why you liked a fragrance, describe its scent, the time period you wore it, any memorable occasions, or what it reminded you of. Did a relative wear it, or did you like the bottle design? Your stories might catch the attention of brand representatives.
I regularly update posts with new information and corrections. Your contributions help keep my entries accurate and comprehensive. Please comment and share any additional information you have. Together, we can keep the legacy of classic perfumes alive!
Maritza No.9 by Countess Maritza c1950
Maritza No 9 by Countess Maritza was launched in the early 1950s, however, not much information is to be found on this perfume. It was available as eau de parfum, perfume spray, purse spray and spray mist. It was also available in a foursome gift set along with Sonata, Silent Night and White Mist.
Fragrance Composition:
So what does it smell like? I am lucky to have a vintage 1950s perfume nip to use for this review. It's a floral fougere fragrance for women. It smells nicer on skin than paper.
- Top notes: aldehydes, lily of the valley, narcissus, carnation
- Heart notes: cloves, cardamom, fern
- Base notes: vanilla, vetiver, patchouli, oakmoss, sandalwood
Fate of the Fragrance:
This was still being sold in 1968. This perfume is discontinued and can be quite rare to find.
