Reflexions by Ciro c1933

Reflexions by Ciro: launched in 1933.







Fragrance Composition:



So what does it smell like? It was classified as a slightly aldehydic aromatic fougere fragrance for women, very fernlike and mossy. Woodsy-Mossy: sometimes referred to as herbal or "forest blend." A perfume from this category might contain sandalwood, rosewood, cedarwood, or balsam, perhaps combined with oak moss, fern, or other plants and herbs to attain an "outdoorsy" fragrance that is best appreciated on the wearer
  • Top notes: aldehydes, bergamot, spices, lavender
  • Middle notes: iris, geranium, carnation, fern, orris, opoponax, jasmine, rose
  • Base notes: tonka, patchouli, sandalwood, tonka, vetiver, benzoin, ambergris, oakmoss


Bottles:


The parfum was housed in a diamond shaped, cut faceted crystal bottle manufactured by Baccarat (model number# 746, however, most bottles are unsigned). The stopper was cut into a faceted point. The bottle has enameled serigraphy and a transparent label which is easily worn off. If your bottle is missing its label and you need to know the size, please use the handy guide below:

  • 1/3 oz (9.8ml) stands 2.8" (3") tall.
  • 3/8 oz (11ml) stands 2.75" tall.
  • 0.81 oz (24ml) stands 3.75" tall.
  • 1 1/3 oz (40ml) bottle stands 4" tall.
  • 3 oz (90ml) stands 5" tall.




Fate of the Fragrance:

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.
