White Mist by Countess Maritza c1950

White Mist was launched in 1950 by Countess Maritza.


Fragrance Composition:



So what does it smell like? It is classified as a floral fragrance for women.  I have a vintage 1940s perfume nip and from what I smell, it would be classified as a floral chypre perfume.
  • Top notes: aldehydes, bergamot, white lilac and lily of the valley
  • Middle notes: heliotrope, gardenia, carnation and jasmine
  • Base notes: ambergris, patchouli, civet, opoponax, oakmoss and sandalwood


Fate of the Fragrance:


It was popular up until around 1970 when it was discontinued.
