Cleopatra's Boudoir: 1893

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!

Victorian Era Perfume Bottles catalog page c1893

Advertisement showing two perfumes for sale, shown in an 1893-1894 Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co., Chicago, catalog. Of particular note is the cherub and cornucopia perfume bottle made up of heavy, pressed glass, unfortunately, I have been unable to identify the manufacturer of this bottle, but it is not a rare flacon. I have seen several on ebay over the years.
