Nettie Rosenstein Perfumes

Nettie Rosenstein of New York City.





The perfumes of Nettie Rosenstein:

  • 1946 After Hours
  • 1946 Odalisque (an oriental perfume)
  • 1948 Tianne (an aldehydic perfume)
  • 1961 Fleurs D'Elle
  • 1965 Mlle. Ghe

Tianne: a merry,  modern floral blend with a sparkling aldehydic top note and enhanced with woody notes and spices, brilliant and luxurious.

Odalisque:  Subtle, mysterious, sensitive, seductive. A light Oriental fragrance. A perfume of outer repose. and slumbering fire, sentimental as love itself . Nettie Rosenstein blends rose, jasmine and lily of the valley with woods and musk for a memory making fragrance. I believe this perfume was discontinued around 1985.

Fleurs d'Elle: is a rich lasting, fresh floral perfume., warm and provocative as woman. Destined to be as loved as her. Elusive fascinating its beauty. keeps unfolding as it is worn just as a woman' s inner self is gradually revealed or as a flower slowly unfolds. petal by petal.




Mlle. Ghe: a new unforgettable fragrance created for the young at heart. For each drop is like a fantasy garden. Blended of Jasmine, musk and moonlight and perennial flowers. Very feminine a bit sophisticated.

Mr. Ghe: zesty lemon lime fragrance for men.

In 1951, Nettie Rosenstein came out with a cute little perfume presentation for her perfumes Odalisque & Tianne. Little pocket containers are nestled in what looks like crushed ice in a real cocktail glass, around the glass is a spotted fabric bow, alluding to Nettie's profession as a dress designer. This presentation was called The Holiday Toast of Perfume.

In 1953, Nettie Rosenstein packaged her famous perfumes in the adorable "Tuck-Away" black velvet kit containing two heavenly scents, Tianne & Odalisque.

  1. Nettie Rosenstein also produced a masculine fragrance, Mr. Ghe, c.1964 (the year the trademark was registered). The Nettie Rosenstein company closed up shop in 1975; the 1985 end date for Odalisque would likely be when the trademark expired.

Welcome!

This is not your average perfume blog. In each post, I present perfumes or companies as encyclopedic entries with as much facts and photos as I can add for easy reading and researching without all the extraneous fluff or puffery.

Please understand that this website is not affiliated with any of the perfume companies written about here, it is only a source of reference. I consider it a repository of vital information for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by. Updates to posts are conducted whenever I find new information to add or to correct any errors.

One of the goals of this website is to show the present owners of the various perfumes and cologne brands that are featured here how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances!

Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table, did you like the bottle design), who knows, perhaps someone from the company brand might see it.

Also, if you have any information not seen here, please comment and share with all of us.
