Lundborg Perfumery

In this guide I have listed the various perfumes by Lundborg Perfumery of New York. Young, Ladd & Coffin were the proprietors and manufacturers. The company stayed in business until 1954.

Lundborg's Perfumery was founded in 1850 by a Swedish immigrant, John Marlie Lundborg who came to the United States and settled in Hudson, New Jersey. He left Sweden early in life and was a reported to be a fine botanist and chemist, who had a great love for flowers, and "possessed a peculiar gift duplicating their perfume". Concocting perfume was not only a hobby, but proved to be lucrative and was turned into a business. After some years later in America, he established himself as a manufacturer of perfumes, in fact he is listed the New York City Business Directory by Trow in 1860 as a "perfumer."
