PERFUME JUNKY/VICTORIAN PARTY

Actual perfume from Victorian times still available to purchase today. Have a browse. Have to admit penhaligons is one of my wish list perfumes from years ago ~ hopefully get some now. Love devonshire violets ~ used to get that on holiday when we were little. Hope you enjoy yourself and find a Victorian treat.

Getting 3 free samples

It had a timeline last year, but is focussing on men in Victorian times this year.

Think this one is Victorian as it is stored in perfume junky archive.

LILY OF THE VALLEY

Lily of the Valley is as fresh and optimistic as the morning dew, grounded by notes of bergamot and sandalwood. A timeless eau de toilette.

Key notes

BLUEBELL

If you go down to the woods today… a fragrant carpet of bluebells awaits. Breathe deep. Citrus, hyacinth, clove. An eau de toilette reminiscent of childhood escapades in the fresh, dewy spring.

Ordered this last year also, although this one isn’t Victorian.

It has an old fashioned look though.

Can’t believe I found this, Victorian perfume is still available to purchase today.  The lid of the bottle is styled from Queen Victoria’s crown.  This is a great find for

a perfume junky or a Victorian history society member.

bergamot, patchouli & rose de mai20.00% Perfume Concentration

An elegant fusion of rose de mai, orchid and jasmine combine with the citrus freshness of bergamot and lemon in this captivating scent, with a complexity of 146 ingredients. The familiar base of patchouli, musk and sandalwood finds a harmonious, poised conclusion to this bright Citrus Floral perfume. Radiant sunlight infuses this complex, opulent fragrance, delivered by oil distilled from the juice of a hundred bergamot oranges. Citrus top notes playfully intertwine with the sweet essence of pineapple and blueberry. Jubilant florals are celebrated at the heart of this rich, sensuous scent, where 170 rose de mai petals make up each drop, along with osmanthus<(>,<)>

This links to some videos about the perfume and you can purchase a bottle.

Great if you love English History too!!!

Jicky Perfume, 30ml

Product description

Amber chypre. Fresh, dynamic, surprising. Filled with contrasts and dualities, freshness and Amber notes, Jicky is a magical perfume that plays on the olfactory ambiguity between masculine and feminine.

The subtle spicy notes that blossom with the usual warmth of the Amber facet also play skillfully with the fresh and aromatic notes of lemon and lavender at its heart. Underneath this audacious structure, one detects woody and vanilla notes for greater vibration and character.
