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.
