It is classified as a floral fragrance for men.
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a floral fragrance for men and women. Jockey Club perfumes were very popular during the Victorian era. It is an old-fashioned scent based on mixed blends intended to reproduce the fragrance of Epsom Downs in the late Spring. Many companies created their own versions of Jockey Club.
Formulas for these perfumes appeared in several perfumery manuals and pharmacopeias during the period. Natural extracts, infusions, absolutes and tinctures would have been used early on, but as the 19th century drew to a close, newly discovered synthetics such as vanillin, heliotropin, linalool and coumarin may have been utilized. The general recipe included the following ingredients:
- Top notes: bergamot, neroli, cassie, lavender, rose geranium, coriander
- Middle notes: jasmine, musk, tuberose, violet, rose, orange blossom, heliotrope, cinnamon
- Base notes: musk, ambergris, orris, civet, mace, clove, vanilla, Peru balsam, storax, tonka bean
