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!

Mary Chess Perfumes
Mary Chess, a perfume company founded in New York City by Grace Mary Chess Robinson in 1932, quickly rose to prominence with its elegant fragrances. Despite starting as a small shop on Park Avenue in 1933, Mary Chess soon expanded into a multi-million-dollar enterprise under the leadership of Mrs. Avery (Grace Chess) Robinson. The brand gained recognition for its high-quality and luxurious perfumes, capturing the essence of sophistication and refinement.
Grace Mary Chess Robinson, also known as Mrs. Avery Robinson, played a pivotal role in establishing Mary Chess as a reputable perfume brand. Her dedication to creating exquisite fragrances and her keen business acumen propelled the company to success.
Although Grace Chess Robinson passed away in 1964, her legacy lived on through the enduring reputation of Mary Chess perfumes. The brand continued to flourish even after her death, maintaining its status as a beloved name in the world of fragrance.
