Bridal Bouquet by Dana c1961

Bridal Bouquet by Dana: launched in 1961. Some of my sources state that it was first launched in 1935, but I cannot find any period advertisements to confirm this.


Bridal Bouquet was available in the following forms:
  • 1/2 oz Perfume 
  • 1.5 oz Perfume Mist
  • 3 oz Spray Cologne
  • Dusting Powder
  • Perfumed Sachettes

Fragrance Composition:

So what did it smell like? It was classified as a classic white floral woody fragrance for women.

  • Top notes: aldehydes
  • Middle notes: jasmine, rose, lily of the valley
  • Base notes: oakmoss, sandalwood, musk, amber

"Dana's way to win and hold him is a new Bridal Bouquet, delightfully packaged, in umpteen forms including two dozen perfumed sachettes."

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.
