Best Vintage Fragrances: 1912-1944


Every generation can identify with iconic moments of their time, and revel in the distinctive style of their bygone era. Memorable perfumes are a symbol of a culture’s climate, and while their fragrant formulations may change, their original spirit lingers on. After all, a beautiful scent never goes out of style.

Capture the romantic spirit of European royalty through a soft, sensual aroma from the fragrance house commissioned by such nobility, including Empress Josephine of France and Marie Antoinette. Quelques Fleurs, a floral scent redolent of orange blossom, orchids, carnations, and roses, debuted in 1912 and blossomed into timeless popularity.
 
Guerlain’s Mitsouko

Guerlain’s Mitsouko embodies the era of “mystery” that swept the globe following World War l. As homage to a young Japanese woman who married a French Naval officer, this feminine sparkling perfume emerged in 1919 with plummy undertones, notes of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin, and hints of spiced cinnamon and clove.

Guerlain’s Shalimar

Young ladies donned short skirts, men’s trousers, and short hair; men sported tuxedos, went to speakeasies and caroused until dawn while listening to the soundtrack of the Roaring 20s: Jazz. Mae West summed up this era best: “Let’s get out of these wet clothes and into a dry martini”, and no scent depicts this better than Guerlain’s Shalimar.

 
Havana by Aramis

Women of the mid-20th century fell for the brooding appearance of stars to the like of Rudolph Valentino and Douglas Fairbanks, but they were absolutely smitten by the masculine “man’s man” style of Ernest Hemingway. Havana by Aramis, a scent as sensual and masculine as Hemingway himself, is a boozy, tobacco-infused cologne emblematic of the age.
