Bouquet Suave by Guerlain: launched in 1834. Created by Pierre-François Pascal Guerlain.
Fragrance Composition:
So what does it smell like? It is a mixed floral blend. Suave was a popular fragrance during the 19th century, also called Bouquet Suave in French speaking countries. Formulas for the Suave perfume appeared in several perfumery manuals and pharmacopeias during the period. These formulas were based on mixed blends to create a floral bouquet touched with animalics. 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 coumarin and vanillin may have been utilized. The general recipe included the following ingredients:
- Top notes: cassie, cloves, bergamot, mace
- Middle notes: tuberose, jasmine, rose, orris
- Base notes: vanilla, musk, ambergris, tonka bean, civet
Bottles:

Fate of the Fragrance:
