Victorian Corsage by Jovan c1993

Victorian Corsage by Jovan: launched in 1993. 


All things Victorian were in vogue once again in the early 1990s and some fragrances were directly inspired by the time period. Coty came out with Truly Lace in 1992 and L'Effleur in 1990, so it was only natural that drugstore giant Jovan would come out with their own Victorian style perfume, aptly named Victorian Corsage. To me, it evokes images of a genteel lady, wrapped in flounces and frou frou holding a tussy mussy in her hand.

Fragrance Composition:


So what does it smell like? It was classified as a floral bouquet fragrance for women.

  • Top notes: citrus notes
  • Middle notes: jasmine, rose, violet
  • Base notes: sandalwood, oakmoss, vetiver, musk



Bottles:


It was available in the following:
  • 1.5 oz Cologne spray




Fate of the Fragrance:


Discontinued, date unknown.
