The perfume was named after Caroline of Brunswick. Caroline of Brunswick (born Caroline Amelia Elizabeth; 17 May 1768 – 7 August 1821) was Queen of the United Kingdom and Hanover as the wife of King George IV from 29 January 1820 until her death in 1821. She was Princess of Wales from 1795 to 1820.

These formulas were based on mixed blends to suggest the exotic odor of frangipani. Natural extracts, infusions, absolutes and tinctures would have been used early on, but as the 19th century drew to a close, newly discovered synthetics and aroma compounds like heliotropin, coumarin and vanillin would have been utilized.

Mutio Frangipani served France in the Pope's troops during the reign of Charles IX. One of his grandsons had jobs in the same Kingdom under Louis XIII. </i><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><br /></i></div><i>This grand-child of Mutio Frangipani invented the composition for perfume and scents, which yet retain the name of Frangipane. From the following passage in Le Laboureur's Memoirs of Castelnau, regarding "the composition of the parfum and the scents, it appears that the brother of the Marquis Frangipani had a share in the invention."</i> </blockquote><blockquote><i>He thought it an honor to be last of that illustrious name, and did not stick to say, that he kept himself single out of necessity, because his quality did not allow him to mix his blood with upstarts, wherewith the ancient majority majesty of Rome had been dishonored.</i> </blockquote><blockquote><i>Menage, was a contemporary, and had met the Marquis and his inventions in Paris, says in his Origini della Lingua Italiana, published at Geneva in 1685: 'From one of those Lords Frangipani, we have seen him here in Paris, certain perfumed gloves were called Frangipani's Gloves.' </i><i>Mr. Menage after that quotes some Latin Verses of Cerifantes which are quite pretty. They are taken from an Ode he addressed to Voiture, and which was printed at the end of Balzac's Lettres Latines." </i></blockquote><blockquote><i>Balzac describes Frangipani in a letter to Madam Defloges: "He yesterday became willingly your tributary, and obliged himself to send you, every year a pretty good quantity of his pastilles (an odoriferous composition). In case you should approve of them, they will become more renowned than Frangipani's Gloves. But, as your people of Limousin might possibly mistake this occasion, you'll inform them (if you think proper), that the perfumer in question is worth above thirty thousand livres a year, and enjoys the chief dignity of this Province; and that this Glover is a Roman lord, Camp-Master or Major-General in the King's armies, and related to St Gregory the Great; and, what I value much more than all this, he is one of the worthiest men in the world.'</i> </blockquote><blockquote><i> </i></blockquote></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The Cyclopædia, Or, Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, 1819:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i></i><blockquote><i>"Frangipane, an exquisite kind of perfume, frequently given to the leather whereof gloves, purses, bags & etc are made. It takes its name from a Roman nobleman, of the ancient family of Frangipani, who was the inventor of it. There is also a kind of perfumed liquor of the same denomination, said to have been invented by a grandson of Mutio Frangipani; and also a perfumed kind of ros solis, called by the same name."</i></blockquote></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The Monthly magazine of pharmacy, chemistry, medicine, 1883:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>"This celebrated perfume is said to have been the invention of one of the earliest of the Roman nobles, named "Frangipani." One member of this ancient family, Mercutio Frangipani, served in France in the Papal army during the reign of Charles IX. The grandson of this nobleman was the Marquis Frangipani, Maréchal des Armées of Louis XIII, and he it was who invented a method of perfuming gloves, Guanti de Frangipani. Frangipani literally means "broken bread," and is derived from frangi, to break, and panis, bread. </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>What the composition of the perfume that was gained for the Marquis so much reputation has not been discovered; this much, however, is certain, that various compositions as pomades, essence and powder, distinguished by the name frangipani, or frangipane were sold by perfumes down to the latter part of the last century [18th], when they gradually fell into disuse. GWS Piesse, in his "Art of Perfumery," says, "the powder or sachet is composed of every known spice in equal proportions, to which is added ground orris root in weight equal to the whole, with 1 percent of musk and civet. The extract from these powders was first prepared by Mercutio Frangipani, by digesting frangipani powders in spirits of wine, which dissolves out the fragrant principles. This has the merit of being the most lasting perfume known." </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>The perfume of the present day bearing the name of Frangipani appears to be obtained from the frangipani plant, plumeria alba, which is said to yield the "eternal perfume" so popular, and is a native of the West India Islands.

The name comes from the "West End" of London. The perfume was also sold by other perfume companies.</p><p><br /></p><span><a name='more'></a></span><p><br /></p><p>La Mode, 1845:</p><p></p><blockquote><p><i>"Today we make perfume cellars, as we invented a few years ago for liqueurs served at the same time as Guerlain coffee in these cellars, well made to be given as gifts; we saw some at his home , in rosewood, with porcelain or enamel medallions inlaid in the wood and framed with pearls. The soul of these cellars is the spirit of the flowers; when we open them, the apartment where they are embalmed with the sweetest, most delicious scents. The pink lily, the water of Judaea, the water of Portugal, the bouquet of Chantilly, the essence of the West End are exhaled. At Guerlain again, what charming boxes to contain the four-seed paste; the famous goose fat, which has overcome bear fat; the violet rice powder, which the woman who wants to refresh her complexion, drops on her face in shaking a small tuft of swan's down, mounted on a silver-gilt hand...; and then these incomparable bottles, where the chiseled gold unites with such brilliance with the rock crystal.</i></p><p><i>From flowers to perfume the transition is very simple; also after talking about spring and Cartier, we will cite a name that smells of balm in the distance; that of Guerlain. Among the stores that are going to be fashionably visited, we do not know of a single one that looks more beautiful than that of the great perfumer on the Rue de la Paix. Perfumes are one of the great pleasures of life; no one has been able to make them smoother and more harmless than Guerlain. He studied the weakness of the most delicate complexions, and he knew how to measure its delicious scents. With him the sense of smell is not the only one flattered, the eyes also have a good part; because where would one find prettier bottles, more elegant vases, more complete potpourris, such as the great Louis XIV and the voluptuous loved them. Louis XV? Among all the bottles which spread freshness and healthiness in the places most heated by the crowd, those that Guerlain fills with aromatic vinegar are the most cited. This specialty alone offers a vast field to gift givers. Now if, after having talked about pleasant things, we come to deal with useful things, we will still say that there are many of them at Guerlain. Isn't it from him that we bring back the most refreshing lotions, the creamiest soaps, the most emulsive oleins, the most softening pastes, the most beneficial cold creams for the skin?</i></p><p><i>Among the wedding gifts, a delicious bottle of Guerlain in chiseled gold and rock crystal, made from the most beautiful water in the world; and in Vienna boxes inlaid with mother-of-pearl and gold, a whole assortment of perfumes bouquet Victoria, bouquet de West End, bouquet de Chantilly and bouquet de Portugal, etc."</i></p></blockquote><p></p><p><br /></p><h3 style="clear: both;"><u>Fragrance Composition:</u></h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So what does it smell like?

<i>"Passiflora belongs to the Aqua Allegoria collection, the first collection of intensely fresh fragrances in perfumery created in 1999.</i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>On the strength of the Guerlain Perfumer’s expertise dating back to the legendary Eau de Cologne Impériale in 1853, the Guerlain Perfumer creates each of the Aqua Allegoria with the freshness of a Cologne and the hold of a Guerlain perfume. The guiding thread of the collection is bergamot, a precious citrus fruit, “Calabrian green gold”, the key ingredient in the Guerlinade.</i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>The new Passiflora is an Eau de Toilette which brings a sparkling hint of freshness to the everyday. Sunny and invigorating, Passiflora blends the flavour of a sun-soaked passion fruit with the smoothness of ylang-ylang flowers, in an aquatic freshness reminiscent of the crystalline waters of a lagoon.</i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>With its golden mesh, its pure, refined bottle is a tribute to the famous Bee bottle."</i></blockquote>

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.

It was here in the middle of the 19th century, that citrus groves dotted the Serra de Cintra, providing the countryside with fresh lemons, citrons and oranges. Masses of sweet scented wild flowers such as wild arbutus, chrysanthemum, Ionopsidium, linaria, trachelium, leucojum, narcissus, dwarf irises, white and yellow broom, honeysuckle, crocus, cistus and woodbine grew in profusion. Trees such as laurel, acacia, palm, aloe, cork oak, pine, fern, eucalyptus, poplar, pepper and myrtle were quite abundant along the mossy covered Serra. I imagine the Cintra perfume would have contained these elements.</p><p>Virgil spoke of Cintra - </p><p></p><blockquote><p><i>"Mossy springs and softer grass at the top</i></p><p><i> And the shade of a rare green tree covers you."</i></p></blockquote><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><h3><u>Fragrance Composition:</u></h3><div><u><br /></u></div><p>So what does it smell like? I have not seen an example of this fragrance yet and I am not sure what the notes would be. I would imagine it was a citrus based floral.</p><p>La Ilustración española y americana - Volume 23, by Abelardo de Carlos, 1879:</p><p></p><blockquote><i>"The success of the products of the Guerlain house, 15 rue de la Paix in Paris, has been affirmed in the past. During the Universal Exposition and after it, Mr Guerlain has seen orders double for his articles, a well-deserved reward for conscientious work. and constantly renewed experiences. Countess Edla's bouquet has just been composed by the renowned at the request of Her Majesty the Queen of Portugal with flowers from the neighboring kingdom and the flora of the mountains on which the old castle of Cintra rises residence favorite of the Portuguese royal family has provided Mr. Guerlain with the base of the most exquisite of his perfumes, the Extract of Cintra.

This odorific liquid also brings together the quality to dissipate the headache if they rub their temples with it."</i></blockquote><p></p><p><br /></p><p>Journal des demoiselles - Page 13, 1879:</p><p></p><blockquote><i>"EAU DE COLOGNE, EXTRACTS FROM MAISON GUERLAIN, Rue de la Paix 15. If we do not see M Guerlain's name appearing at the top of the list of awards given by the jury of the Universal Exhibition, it is because he was a member of this jury and in this capacity out of competition. This choice is a credit to M Guerlain and places him at the head of the industry he had the honor of representing. Eau de Cologne and extracts from this house have attracted the attention of French and foreign chemists and manufacturers with their production. These concentrated extracts develop under a small volume, a sweet smell in which neither musk nor strong smell enters to soak up any smell, it is useless to flood yourself, a drop is enough, it is a progress, almost a discovery, which makes the foreigner dependent on the laboratory in the rue de la Paix. Success was confirmed again this year. M Guerlain, having seen orders double, is the reward for continuous work and constantly renewed experience. You cannot judge the bouquet of an extract in a bottle, it is with a handkerchief as it evaporates that you can appreciate its suave and persistent smell. Eau de Cologne with a fresh and pleasant fragrance is of excellent use by rubbing it on the temples it dissipates the headache. The concentrated extracts: Pao Rosa, extracted from the wood of Brazil, Fleur de Serre, and the imperial Russian bouquet, suave, sweet and persistent, are in vogue and deserve the success that the high life of all countries gives it. The bouquet of the Comtesse d'Edla has just been composed by M Guerlain for the wife of King DF with flowers from Portugal, the flora of the mountains on which stands the ancient castle of Cintra, favorite residence of the king, has provided M Guerlain the bouquet of the most exquisite of its fragrances, the Cintra Extract. We remind you that nothing is better against chapped skin than nothing is better against chapped lips and hands even open chilblains than La Ferté balm. The little box costs 1 fr 25 cents."</i></blockquote><p></p><p><br /></p><p>A Illustração - Volume 4, 1887:</p><p></p><blockquote><i>"GUERLAIN, PARIS, DE 15 rue de la Paix, RECOMMENDED ITEMS : Maria Christina Bouquet, Pao Rosa, Cintra Bouquet, Countess l'Edla Bouquet, White Heliotrope, Paris Exhibition, Russian Imperial Bouquet.:</i></blockquote><p></p><p><br /></p><h3><u>Bottles:</u></h3><div><u><br /></u></div><p>It was most likely contained in the Carre flacon like other Guerlain perfumes of the era.</p><p><br /></p><h3><u>Fate of the Fragrance:</u></h3><div><u><br /></u></div><p>Discontinued.

A John Wanamaker ad from the Delaware County Times, 1902:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"The one man in the Old World brave enough never to use any ut the finest of everything in his extracts, etc, is M. Guerlain, of the Rue de la Paix, Paris. The purest suet is used to capture the sweetness from the flowers, and the purest alcohol to set it free. His extracts are true, delicate or not as you choose, for nothing that grows and breathes out sweetness has escaped the sharp discerning nose of Guerlain. In his extract called Far West (which we control in America), the woods have given him their damp, pungent, cedar-like sweetness. It's a rare good thing to have the odor of the damp woods bottled and brought to you - and Far West is so delightful in its originality that people laugh outright with delight at it, but say they "don't like it." Nevertheless they come back to Far West, as surely as they say they won't - it takes such fast hold of the senses. Aquarella is another bit of his curious art - a sweet, firm, bewildering extract - delicate as the almond blossoms it suggests, but substantial. Whatever Guerlain touches his hand to is sure to be pure and fine. These are some of his delightful products. Extracts - Tume, Fragrance, Rup, Gazaki, Verveine, Paris Gem, Geranium de Serre, Floxinia, Aquarella, Full Scent, Far West, Violet du Embaume, Violet de Alger, Le Jardin de Mon Cure, Tsao-Ko, Dix Petales de Roses, Belle France."</i></blockquote><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><u>Fate of the Fragrance:</u></h3><p>Discontinued, date unknown.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> </p>

Les femmes de bonne compagnie se reconnaissent à ses parfums, comme en reconnaît aux blasons le haut lignage des races; et lorsqu'une mèche de cheveux voltige près de vous, lorsqu'un magnifique mouchoir tombe à vos côtés, ou qu'un gant frais et coquet s'approche par hasard de vos lèvres, vous jugez au parfum qui s'exhale de ces cheveux, de ce mouchoir, de ces gants, si la femme à qui ils appartiennent a reçu chez Guerlain la sanction du bon goût de la mode et de la distinction. </div><div><br /></div><div>Odeurs Nouvelles composees par Guer;ain" </div><div>Extrait de Lolium agriphyllum,?</div><div>Extrait de Phlomis asplenia, ?</div><div>Extrait d'Azalea meolenca, ?</div><div>Extrait de Cyparisse elabrum, ?</div><div>Extrait de Hymealis anthelia, ?</div><div>Extrait de Cytise sylvatia, ?</div><div>Extrait de Anthemeia nobilis, ?</div><div>Extrait de Cyperus ruber,</div><div>Extrait de Tilia microphilla, ?</div><div>Extrait d'Hymenaea nitida, </div><div>Extrait de Mimosa fragrans </div><div>Extrait de Caryophille album, </div><div>Extrait d'Amyris Polyolens, </div><div>Extrait de Polyanthe suaveolens, </div><div>Extrait de Lathyrus odoraus, </div><div>Extrait d'Ocymum dulce.</div><div><br /></div><div>En mettant au jour ces parfums entièrement nouveaux , Guerlain fait observer qu'ils ne peuvent se trouver que chez lui, et recommande </div></div>GHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08581508408018361307noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148278049374528369.post-24942328202124657912021-07-30T07:01:00.001-04:002022-02-11T02:28:20.392-05:00Cyprisine by Guerlain c1894<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Evening Star, 1913:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Mere names of perfumes give no idea," said Zinda Brozia. "You must smell them. As many makers, so there are as many "'chypres'. There is no such perfume, though Walter Scott mentions it, and Houbigant had a 'cypris" in 1775. Guerlain has a 'cyprisine' and a 'chypre de Paris'. The original 'Chypre' was a very successful mixture of Atkinson, years ago; and as he did not protect the name, everybody took it up. Now Guerlain's 'Chypre de Paris', although of the cheap $1.20 series, is a sum total of perfume value, distinction and lasting qualities. I imagine it would be impossible to repeat, hein?"</i></blockquote>
