<a name='more'></a>Lentheric 12, was originally launched in 1931 as "Parfum No. 12" (Parfum Numero Douze). It was discontinued around 1960.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">In 1967, Lentheric decided to relaunch the Numero 12 fragrance, now renamed Lentheric 12, which took three years to develop. I believe this accounted for reformulation to be brought up to modern tastes. DN "Paddy" Davies, Lentheric's president said that "Any perfume with a detectable flower fragrance is out, women want something more - well, for want of a better word- sophisticated than white violet or the romantic fragrances that were popular in the past. However, the whole world is more aware of smell than it used to be. Everything - skin cream, powder, detergents - everything is more highly scented."</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">The name "Lentheric 12" has an unconventional history behind it. It seems that Lentheric had commissioned 12 artists they claimed to be world famous, each to paint their idea of a beautiful woman. Lentheric said "Do this. Paint for us your perfect woman, your ideal of feminine beauty." The works ranged from Pop Art, primitive, surrealistic, Impressionistic, etc. were then assembled together in a quiet, long room overlooking the Seine. The perfumers were supposed to have been influenced by the paintings. And gradually, they created a perfume for the very being of woman in all her variable moods. And when they found it, they called it Lentheric 12.</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">The artists were: Pietro Annigoni from Italy who sketched a madonna with tender loveliness in crayon and wash, Helene Girod de l'Ain from France painted a portrait in her signature Impressionistic style, Peter Blake from England's portrait was executed in his usual Pop Art style, Salvador Dali from Spain added a surrealistic portrait of a swathed Venus, William Dargie from Australia painted his lovely 15 year old daughter Faye, Paul Davis from America painted his brunette wife Myrna, Franco Gentilini from Italy, Pierre Henry from France, Robert Ladou from France, Akbar Padamsee from India painted a timeless beauty, Bruno Saetti from Italy, and Ruskin Spear from England.</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

"You must have a name that can be understood in every language when you have an international product. Like our men's line Onyx. It's pronounced the same in every language and spelled the same," said Davies.</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">While the simple name may have had an unusual advertising gimmick and backstory, it no doubt was Lentheric's idea to retain the name.</div></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b><u>European Launch:</u></b></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Lentheric spared no expense to see that the campaign to launch the newest fragrance got off to a flying start. An international beauty press conference was held at Nice-Monte Carlo's Hotel de Paris, next door to the famous casino. Lentheric brought together a group of international newspaper and magazine journalists and advertising women from 18 countries and five continents including the USA, Canada, Britain, Western Europe, Russia and Australia to show off the new perfume. The total guest list soared to 150. Her Serene Highness, Princess Grace of Monaco, clad in Yves Saint Laurent, was on hand to share in welcoming the lucky guests along with Lentheric's chairman, Arthur F. Hurlstone, and Lentheric's president, DN "Paddy" Davies. The launch in Monte Carlo was masterminded by Algy Stranack of Neilsen McCarthy Public Relations.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The party visited the south of France to see where the raw materials originated. They toured the factory of the oldest essential oil house in Grasse, Antoine Chiris. The guests actually got to view how perfume is made. Guests were encouraged to stand in a cylindrical tank filled with violet leaves. These vats extract all the aromas from the flower and leaves. Harper's Bazaar editor, Elinor McVickar took up the challenge and stood ankle deep in the talk. The beauty editors smelled aromatic materials from every corner of the earth: roses and geraniums from Morocco, sandalwood from the tropical Pacific Islands, and pungent cloves from Madagascar plus other materials from Tibet, Siam and Argentina. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">At the party, guests sipped authentic French Champagne as a valets, dressed blue and gold in the fashion of Louis XVI, carried a bottle of the parfum atop a resplendent litter. The managing director of Charabot et Cie, M. Jacques Maison Diue declared that the perfume "is a symphony of seasons and moods," as smelling strips that had been dipped in the scent 12 hours earlier, were passed among the crowd. "On top are the delicate notes of spring - narcissus, orange blossom and rose. Below the summer scents of jasmine and tuberose, mixed with the woody notes of autumn, sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver and the warmth of winter - the amber, musk and civet."</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><u><b>North American Launch:</b></u></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">To introduce North America to the fragrance, the company gave 120 women's editors, fashion and beauty editors from newspapers and top fashion publications across the US and Canada a special press junket to acquaint them with the scent. AF Hurlstone, chairman of Lentheric, DN "Paddy" Davies, president and managing director of the House of Lentheric, Lee Smith, vice president and nine other members of the Lentheric company were in attendance along with the public relations office of Sydney Morrell, AL Williams the director of Bermuda's development program and his assistants Tony Marsh and Mrs. Marsh, and two representatives of Pan American Airlines spent the two days and one night making the trip one to remember.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Guests were flown to Bermuda for 24 hours for the premiere of the new fragrance amidst pomp and splendor. Two Port Authority ferries transported the guests from the airport to the island. The Bermuda Regiment welcomed the guests before the boat loads of visitors disembarked onto the quay. A six gun salute heralded the guests then the regiment sounded off six trumpets while a band of natives sang a song of welcome and added the distinct sounds of steel drums in the background. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Lentheric arranged a Pan-Am charter flight to and from New York with champagne served in glasses designed especially for the occasion. In each hotel room, guests were greeted with a lovely bouquet of island flowers, an orchid for the evening and a straw basket embroidered with flowers of Bermuda. In the bath was an assortment of Lentheric products of course: bath powder, cologne spray, soap and bath oil. A souvenir bath towel was embroidered with the date 3rd October, 1967, Bermuda and in the corner were the guest's initials.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">During the champagne party on the Princess patio, preceding the banquet, guests were treated to a spectacular fireworks display. Attendees were given an engraved invitation to a black tie dinner held in the Adam Room of the Princess Hotel. Seated at Davies' table were Bermuda's Governor Lord Martonmere, and a young artist and his wife from America. A major domo clad in a red coat, announced and introduced the governor who drank a toast to the visitors. The banquet included </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">a never-ending flow of gourmet food, vintage wines. After the banquet was over, guests were invited to the nigh club at the hotel where they were given small hours entertainment by the French signer Jean Sablon, and his composer and accompanist who was flown over from Paris just to entertain the guests. At the end of the gala dinner around midnight, the guests were finally introduced to the new fragrance at the Princess Hotel Gardens. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">"Paddy" Davies unveiled two paintings just as he had done at the party in Monte Carlo. Davies said that "We wanted a perfume that would appeal to women the world over and the creators and blenders of perfumes needed very different impressions of femininity to work from. We commissioned the artists to put on canvas their impression of the most beautiful woman in the world. Those contributions included those of Annigoni who was commissioned to paint her Majesty the Queen, a picture shown in the summer exhibition of Royal Academy in 1955. And the vivid mind of Salvador Dali, who has certainly emerged as one of the great figures of 20th Century painting."</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The original paintings were flown to Bermuda and the artists were invited too -however, only one showed up, Paul Davis. Davis, a young artist, was the only American artist contributing to the collection. Dali declined and replied that he was "crossing the Pyrenees on an elephant," however, guests were treated to a little Shakespearian message he scrawled on the back of the painting..."a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.."</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Davies informed the group that the collection of twelve paintings had been insured in excess of $60,000 and would be exhibited in large stores in New York, Dayton and other cities in the United States for the next three months before it leaves the country for three or four months. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">At 8 am the next morning, guests had breakfast at the Tiara Room of the Hamilton Bermuda. A press conference was scheduled before a Mimosa Party and buffet luncheon on the Regency Terrace. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">"Paddy" Davies, explained why the cost of the perfume was so expensive. He said that the cost accounted for the labor force that hand plucked the flowers that made up the perfume, plus the cost of distilling the fresh flowers into scent. He said that Grasse, just 20 miles from the French Riviera, is a town of only 2,500 residents, but is where 90% of the perfumes of the world have their origin. He went on to say that its inhabitants have to gather two tons of rose petals are needed, for five pounds of "pure smell" (that makes each dab of perfume about two dozen roses). The roses should be gathered before sunrise, with morning dew still clinging to the blossoms. Jasmine must be cut soon after it opens, otherwise its odor is modified during the flowering and its yield lowered. Orange blossom has to be processed immediately after picking, before fermentation can set in. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Attending the luncheon, was a "nose" flown in from Grasse, Jacques Masondieu. This was the perfume expert that blends the perfume from all the costly essences and fixatives. He said that " A perfume could contain 25 to 50 various absolutes and they could go up to $6,000 a pound." For example tuberose, in what the industry calls its "absolute" form, is $6,000 a pound (gold at the time, incidentally cost approximately $420 per pound). "In this way you have an idea why perfume costs such a lot and also remember that absolutes are even more costly than gold," said Davies. The guests sniffed raw materials that were passed around such as vanilla beans, jasmine petals, rosewood chips, jasmine blossoms, mimosa, ginger root, lemon peels and some of the expensive animal fixatives. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> The new perfume was to be rolled out to Strawbridge & Clothier and John Wanamaker stores.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /><br /><br />

<u>Fragrance Composition:</u></h3>
<br />
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a soft, spicy oriental fragrance for women. It is a rich, lush, full-bodied fragrance with top notes sharp with pungent verbena and zesty citrus peels followed by light, fresh notes of hyacinth and jonquil combined with lily of the valley, a sweet floral heart made possible by heady orange blossom and precious tuberose. Its richness, released by the warmth of its wearer, comes from a combination of spices, rose, earthy patchouli and grassy vetiver. The powerful residual notes, a bittersweet chypre base gives it great lasting qualities, consisted of a blending of tender jasmine with the notes of the balsams, amber, musk and civet.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Bouquet Lentheric in these flacons was available in twelve different scents: Tweed, Gardenia de Tahiti, Asphodele, Le Pirate, Numero Douze, Foret Vierge, Shanghai, Lotus D'Or, Carnation, Au Fil de L'Eau, A Bientot and Miracle.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX4QdQyAJ2xeB0-VjD5bFY7eS3GcXfCWpWGdwOUp_ALdQIiyvMZV4wK91Q5yobuZbXCqT1L53Nf0WuJ26PCUlRAKjYQ77fOHIYkuCwz0sQ8H7YdK-zn3Gq5cSyRgSHEWqd6BFZkWfcO9AE1EiG_OyuShcuK0mGW-ZnleAVgT5Un2OInhwsfHjdzdpu/s2083/The_Times_Herald_1937_07_13_Page_9%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1617" data-original-width="2083" height="498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX4QdQyAJ2xeB0-VjD5bFY7eS3GcXfCWpWGdwOUp_ALdQIiyvMZV4wK91Q5yobuZbXCqT1L53Nf0WuJ26PCUlRAKjYQ77fOHIYkuCwz0sQ8H7YdK-zn3Gq5cSyRgSHEWqd6BFZkWfcO9AE1EiG_OyuShcuK0mGW-ZnleAVgT5Un2OInhwsfHjdzdpu/w640-h498/The_Times_Herald_1937_07_13_Page_9%20(2).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div> </div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Lentheric 12 Version:</u></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The later bottles for the Lentheric 12 concentrations can be distinguished by their gray caps and stoppers.

Harmonizing with the atmosphere of a nocturnal party in a park, it is a garden, precisely, that it holds its fiery charms of sage, softened by the vibrant foam of the resedas, amplified by this composite and aristocratic smell of lilac, orange blossom, rose and boxwood, which one breathes in June, in the alleys of Versailles. But how much dominates the jasmine, little white sun, musky prince of hot siestas."</i></blockquote><p></p><p></p>

The Repartee Parfum flacon was made by Verreries Brosse and is a column of clear crystal with its lower half molded to look like a knot of fabric. The bottle has an unusual, chunky glass stopper, which looked more like an overcap. Instead of having a just a stopper plug, the stopper was hollowed underneath and had a plug in the center so that it could be placed into mouth of the bottle, forming a tight seal. A thin gold foil paper label is wrapped around the top part of the bottle just under the stopper.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
La Danse des Parfums Lentheric, was an elaborate semi-classical dance program interpreting the leading Lentheric perfumes - Tweed, Shanghai, a Bientot, Miracle, Anticipation, Numero Douze, Carnation and Muguet, all within the span of one hour. The performances were a way to express the individuality and mood of each perfume employing a three dimensional effect. Exquisite stage costumes (including Capezio Shoes and MaharamTheatrical Fabrics), beautiful lighting effects, and appropriate music combined to make for a outstanding program. These performances were a promotional plan offered to the leading department stores, such as Block's and John Wanamakers, to advertise the Lentheric perfumes. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The promotion was of one week's duration and within the time an average of three or four ballet performances were given. These were generally held in the store's auditorium, but in cases the store did not have such a room, a hotel ballroom was rented. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Considerable marketing was used to promote the program, large newspaper ads were placed to draw the public's attention as an important event with educational and cultural value. Invitations to select women's clubs and charge account customers of the store requesting their presence at the first performance, which was billed as a pre-view. Additional performances were announced for the general public. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was customary for the department store to use six display windows to showcase each perfume and the fashion and ballet performance it represented. Free tickets to the show were offered in the perfumery departments. Door prizes were awarded at the close of each performance.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
M. Durel Dugas, working as commentator, explained the history and background of each perfume, and also invited women of the audience to receive her own perfume personality analysis to help them choose the correct perfume and makeup. Dugas assisted with sales after the performance in the toiletries department.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>M. Durel Dugas, Perfume Stylist & Commentator</li>
<li>Harold C. Martins, Art Director, Cleveland Ballet Co.</li>
<li>Sergei B. Popeloff, Maitre de Ballet, Cleveland Ballet Co.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Renowned ballet dancers Pamela Nape & Jane Burkhalter performed solo and duet in the program.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The perfume of Tweed was expressed as a carefree outdoorsy scent, and Miss Burkhalter wore the brilliant plaids of Scotland while she danced a sprightly pizzicato. For the perfume Shanghai, Miss Nape wore a luxuriant costume of a Chinese princess while dancing an exotic eastern style.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The perfume Miracle, originally created for Lady Diana Manners in her starring role for the play, The Miracle, was represented by Miss Burkhalter.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Miss Nape, wore a shimmering costume to represent the youthful vitality of Anticipation, against a background of Paris.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Miss Burkhalter wore a gown of violet with trailing scarves of gray, chartreuse and American Beauty (I assume this was a deep rose color) while interpreting the personality of A Bientot, which was Lentheric's newest perfume at the time. This color scheme was also used in Lentheric's Paris salon.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The closing number of the ballet for Numero Douze, was interpreted by both Miss Nape and Miss Burkhalter. Miss Nape danced the part of a peasant bride while Miss Burkhalter danced her art as her reflection in the mirror on her wedding day. the dance unfolded the reluctance of the bride to relinquish the laughter of her girlhood and she shared her mood with her reflection in the mirror as she puts the finishing touches to her toilette.<br />

Anticipation by Lentheric: launched in 1937.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Fragrance Composition:</u></h3>
<br />
So what does it smell like? It was described as "brisk and citrus", "exotic", "musky", "peppery", "floral" and "spicy" in old magazines and newspaper articles.<br />
<br />
A vintage 1938 newspaper article described the perfume as "formality in fragrance, expressed in a contrasting pattern of light and shade, a dancing, piquant note against a deep, rich background."<br />
<br />
Another 1938 newspaper article describes Anticipation as "the perfume created for the women with a jaded perfume appetite, has a base of Javanese wood oil, the costliest of perfume bases."<br />
<br />
Based on these descriptions, I would say that it was probably a semi-oriental spicy, woody floral perfume for women.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Top notes: lemon, bergamot, neroli, aldehydes, orange</li>
<li>Middle notes: carnation, orange blossom, jasmine, spices, pepper, honeysuckle</li>
<li>Base notes: vanilla, ambergris, patchouli, sandalwood, Javanese wood oil, oakmoss, musk, cedar</li>
</ul>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div><div>L'Amour de l'art, 1950:<br /><blockquote><i>"Anticipation by Lentheric: original and audacious, this fragrance moves forward. A very rising aldehyde note harmonizes with the precious wood to give it the dash of impetuous youth."</i></blockquote></div><div><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, 1937:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"With all the enthusiasm for the new and exciting in perfume, don't overlook Lentheric's "Anticipation:. It's a gorgeous perfume for the very smart, with a fragrance destined to become the most favored of Lentheric perfumes. Flower notes are present in "Anticipation", but the deep-toned background is due to unusual essences that would be generally unknown, such as a certain Javanese wood and a fascinating variety of moss. "Anticipation" is being presented in a kidskin covered box, satin lined with a chaste gold clasp at $35 and $60."</i></blockquote>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Bottle:</u></h3>
Anticipation is presented in a white kid leather covered box, satin lined, closed with a chaste gold clasp. The crystal flacon is also graceful and simple in its lines and has a plain gold cap to match the clasp of the box. Contrary to belief, this high quality bottle was not made by Baccarat as it is not listed in the collector's book "Baccarat: The Perfume Bottles", put put by the glass company themselves. I believe it was made by Verreries Brosse, who made several of Lentheric's crystal bottles.<br />
<br />
Originally in 1937, only two sizes for the parfum were available — 2.75 oz and 6 oz. The 2.75 oz size bottle has an inner glass stopper with a brass over cap. The 2.75 oz size stands 3.25" tall and retailed for $35.00 in 1937. The larger size bottle retailed for $60.<br />

<br />
By 1938, a smaller size, 1 oz was available for sale. It retailed for $15.00.<br />
<br />
<br />
The early bottles for the Bouquet Lentheric toilet water have an inner brass screw cap and can be found either with a confetti embedded Lucite over cap. The 4 oz bottle stands about 5.25" tall. The 8 oz size stands about 6.5" tall.<br />

Au Fil de L'Eau by Lentheric: launched in 1885, relaunched in 1925. The name means "With the Current" or "Tide", the Lentheric ads translated it to "On the Drifting Stream."<br />

"Le monde des affaires en France de 1830 à nos jours" by Jacques Boudet reported that Au Fil de L'Eau was one of the favorite fragrances of the Queen of Spain. The publication also mentioned that "La Féria", was designed specifically for the Czar of Russia, who wanted to give it to the dames d'honneur. The ladies of honor at the imperial court of Russia were aristocratic ladies in service to the court with the women of the imperial family and organized according to the strict hierarchy of table rows created by Peter the Great.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />I have also seen some Lentheric perfume advertisements that mentioned that Lotus d'Or was Au Fil de L'Eau, so perhaps Au Fil de L'Eau was renamed Lotus D'Or or they were sold under different names in different countries. Both of the perfumes were housed in the same flacon.<br />

So what does it smell like? It is classified as a soft, sweet, light floral bouquet fragrance for women with a dominant lily of the valley note. It was recommended to be worn by "sophisticated users of perfume." According to 1930s newspaper ads, in addition to the narcissus and lily of the valley, the fragrance was composed of over 90 other floral fragrances.<br />

In 1938, it was said to be "translated into the best American slang, "I'll be seeing you", reflects characteristics truly American - vigor, vitality, and personality and may be worn most suitably from early afternoon through the evening."<br />
<br />
When this perfume was being introduced at the perfume counter at the Abraham & Straus department store in New York City, women could pick up a complimentary vial of the perfume, and then customers were being advised to order the 'A Bientot Cocktail', specially created for the perfume, the next time they visited the St. George Hotel's Bermuda Room, as well as to see how the colors of the famous dining room was worked out to harmonize with the packaging for 'A Bientot'.<br />

So what does it smell like? It was classified as a dry, heady, floral tobacco fragrance for women. It begins with a strong, cool, lemony eau de cologne top note and dries down to a rich animalic dry, tobacco leaf base.<br />
<br />
It was described in a vintage 1938 newspaper article as "the dry mellow aroma of sun ripened tobacco leaves, expressing camaraderie, and is to be worn with bright bravado."<br />

<i>"LENTHERIC "A Bientot" — a phrase that breezily bids a temporary goodbye has been translated into fragrance by Lentheric."</i></blockquote>
A Bientot was also suggested to be used as a "pick me up after an arduous day, a vitalizing after bath luxury, a scent of lingerie or handkerchiefs."</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

<u>Bottle:</u></h3>
<br />
A Bientot parfum was housed inside of a clear crystal bottle that had a slight curved shape. Made by Baccarat from model number 789. The front of the bottle has the perfume's name in gold serigraphy. The earlier bottles were made up of fine lead crystal and were fitted with an inner glass stopper and covered with a chunky solid crystal stopper overcap, that when looking down from the top, slightly resembled a stylized bow tie, the bottle follows the shape of the stopper.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhS-v4Wk-cDFirUFn6GHKrSQSdwaqrmG8OYKT19kdFYKmOGfBiqPgR8JJbV9NwWBNqcizXwaV9M9s_0UrErv1Z-KQg5WSXVHHyTQQafZqamRhIoMDgIPbLBTsxG4UMRhUjTK4TQFbJouYvMNFmRSmqbI7Z6VSymzfDOuuDX40VP8lyUcQpnuNfPT987uc/s480/q111.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="476" data-original-width="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhS-v4Wk-cDFirUFn6GHKrSQSdwaqrmG8OYKT19kdFYKmOGfBiqPgR8JJbV9NwWBNqcizXwaV9M9s_0UrErv1Z-KQg5WSXVHHyTQQafZqamRhIoMDgIPbLBTsxG4UMRhUjTK4TQFbJouYvMNFmRSmqbI7Z6VSymzfDOuuDX40VP8lyUcQpnuNfPT987uc/s16000/q111.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<br />
Later bottles were made of glass and omitted the crystal overcap and instead were simply covered by an apple juice colored Prystal Bakelite (or amber Lucite?) overcap. This was probably originally crystal clear but aged to the apple juice color.<br />
<br />
I believe that this may have been implemented due to wartime restrictions on importations of the French crystal bottles, many of the bottles have been found with small paper labels with "Completed in Lentheric's Laboratories USA."<br />
<br />
The sides of the bottle and the stopper were vertically ribbed, so that when the bottles were sealed with the baudruchage cording, two cords were crisscrossed over the top of the stopper and as the cords passed down over the sides, the cords passed into the grooves of the ribs and tied under the stopper.<br />
<br />
The bottle was presented in a cream and gold band box with a square base.<br />
<br />
A Bientot parfum was available in several sizes and retailed for $1.50, $2.75, $5.00 (for the half ounce), $9, $25, $30, and $55 by 1939. By 1947, the price for the largest size parfum was $75.<br />

A Bientot was also housed in various other less expensive bottles based on the fragrance concentration: Bouquet Lentheric, cologne, eau de toilette, etc.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
<br />
<b><u>Bouquet Lentheric Au Parfum:</u></b><br />
<br />
Bouquet Lentheric was dubbed a "daytime fragrance" and was a double strength eau de cologne. These bottles could be found in different shapes and was sold in both atomizer and splash bottles.<br />
<br />
In 1935, customers could have their Bouquet Lentheric scents bottled in luxurious crystal bottles made by the Swedish glass company Orrefors. These delicate amphora shaped decanters were wheel cut with a delicate floral pattern and fitted with a teardrop shaped ground glass stopper. The bottle was presented with a spray of velvet millinery flowers tied onto the neck of the bottle.<br />
<br />
A vintage newspaper advertisement from 1938 described these as "a mid-Victorian cut crystal minaret bottle", which would be appropriate as the Victorian era was enjoying a Revival during this time. The bottle was available in three sizes: 4 oz, 8 oz and 16 oz.<br />
<br />
If you find your A Bientot perfume inside one of these bottles, it will date to after 1938, when the perfume was introduced.<br />

<u>Fragrance Composition:</u></h3>
<br />
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a heady floral fragrance for women. I had a tiny sample of this and in my opinion, it smelled like a sweet, buttery monoi oil with a hint of warm woods.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Top notes: aldehydes, orange, cassie, neroli, daffodil and coconut</li>
<li>Middle notes: rose, tuberose, tiare flower, gardenia, ylang ylang and jasmine</li>
<li>Base notes: civet, ambergris, sandalwood, musk</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />

<i>"Each time the blend was perfected a little more, until finally it was pronounced by experts to be a perfect symphony of fragrances. Now, 'Gardenia de Tahiti', as it is called, is ready for you."</i></blockquote>
<br />
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, 1935:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Lentheric's 'Gardenia de Tahiti' is being talked about wherever fastidious women gather, and it's just another very good reason why Gardenia is going to blossom-scent the air for many months to come. This perfume has all the languor and the rich, sweet lushness of romantic South Sea nights...like a magic love philter, only a few precious drops to induce a spell of enchantment...so laden it is with the dreamy, ripe essence of gardenia. This presentation of Lentheric's 'Gardenia de Tahiti' is now available in one and two ounce packages."</i></blockquote>

<i>Orrefors Crystal Parfum Flacons:</i></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In 1936, a trio of crystal bottles was introduced manufactured by Orrefors to hold Tweed, Gardenia de Tahiti and Miracle. Each bottle was etched with a different design on the front and was topped by a frosted glass spire like stopper. The vaulted top box was covered in silver and blue paper. The bottles are often unmarked for the Orrefors name and simply had hang tags which were usually lost over time, so most people are unaware that these were used by Lentheric.</div>

<u>Fragrance Composition:</u></h3>
<br />
So what does it smell like? It was a light, but somewhat dry oriental chypre perfume with a woody-mossy-leafy balsamic base. Similar to Heaven Sent by Helena Rubinstein but weaker, lighter, and less lasting.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Top notes: neroli, citrus, orange, bergamot</li>
<li>Middle notes: lavender, patchouli, frankincense, labdanum, heliotrope</li>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
A columnar bottle made up of clear crystal, with a row of ruffled glass winding around the bottle and fitted with a cute bow shaped stopper. Silver foil label wrapped around bottle, following the shape of the glass ruffle. The bottle was housed in a feminine presentation box covered with white and shades of gray paper featuring three bright lacquered 3 dimensional bows and gold and silver sequins. The box itself is a unique three lobed clover shape. I believe the bottle may have been made by Verreries Brosse.</div>

<a name='more'></a>"Free, open stretches of heather or country meadow - the playful tug of wind - the friendly sun - a crisp tang in the air - a joy of living! Of such is the essence of Tweed, Parfum Exquis by Lentheric."<br /><br />
Tweed was "a featured maiden voyage perfume of the SS Normandie" which arrived in New York on June 3, 1935.<br />

<br />
So what does it smell like? The original scent was a mossy fougere/chypre perfume with a distinctive herbal lavender note. It begins with a fresh, flowery, fruity top, followed by a classic floral heart, resting on a powdery base.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Top notes: bergamot, grass note, neroli, thistle, thyme, arnica, celery, fruity note, orange geranium and violet</li>
<li>Middle notes: fern, rose, jasmine, carnation, orris, narcissus, lilac, ylang-ylang, lavender, orange flower and magnolia </li>
<li>Base notes: cider, whiskey, tea, musk, styrax, honey, cinnamon, sandalwood, civet, leather, oakmoss, patchouli, benzoin, vanilla and vetiver</li>
</ul>

I just tested a small amount on my skin from another sealed vintage perfume nip that is over 60 years old. The perfume at first smells citric, very mossy while geranium and dry lavender break through. Then some cinnamon and carnation spice up the jasmine and rose. It lasts fairly long, spicy and herbal on a warm, woody base of sandalwood, vetiver, orris and patchouli which lay the groundwork for a little sweet benzoin and animalic civet. </div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On paper, the perfume is extremely mossy, with only a short breath of the flowers, I feel that only on the skin does the floral notes become very apparent and much more enjoyable.<br />

<u>Bottles:</u></h3>
Tweed's parfum (extrait) was originally issued in a chunky crystal bottle imitating a Japanese "Koro" incense burner, fitted with an inner glass stopper topped with a wooden overcap. The name Tweed was silkscreened on the front of the bottle in black enamel serigraphy. The earlier bottles have inner glass stoppers, the later bottles have plastic or metal screw caps instead of the glass stoppers.<br />
<br />
Contrary to belief, this high quality bottle was not made by Baccarat as it is not listed in the collector's book "Baccarat: The Perfume Bottles", put put by the glass company themselves.<br />
<br />
Now if your bottle is missing it's label or hang tag stating the size, you can use this handy guide based on the approximate height of your bottle from base to top of stopper. Remember, the wooden stopper has gone through changes from an original two part piece made with a single block and a U shape underneath, to a single block construction in later years so this will affect the overall height of the bottle too, but not by too much.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>1/8 oz stands about 1.75" tall</li>
<li>1/4 oz stands about 2" tall</li>
<li>1/2 oz stands about 2.25" tall</li>
<li>1 oz stands 3" tall</li>
<li>2 oz stands 3.25" tall</li>
<li>4 oz </li>
<li>8 oz stands 4.75" tall</li>
</ul>
<br />
In 1936 the prices for the parfum were as follows:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Dram - 85 cents</li>
<li>Purse size - $1.25</li>
<li>1/4 oz - $2.25</li>
<li>1/2 oz - $4.00</li>
<li>1 oz - $7.00</li>
<li>2 oz - $12.50</li>
<li>8 oz - $27.50</li>

<h4>
<i>Orrefors Crystal Parfum Flacons:</i></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In 1936, a trio of crystal bottles was introduced manufactured by Orrefors to hold Tweed, Gardenia de Tahiti and Miracle. Each bottle was etched with a different design on the front and was topped by a frosted glass spire like stopper. The vaulted top box was covered in silver and blue paper. The bottles are often unmarked for the Orrefors name and simply had hang tags which were usually lost over time, so most people are unaware that these were used by Lentheric.</div>

Shanghai by Lentheric: launched in 1936. Originally named Cœur de Paris and launched in 1911. Cœur de Paris was renamed Shanghai in 1936 and was repackaged in a beautiful Chinese styled vase.<br />

<a name='more'></a>The company wanted to dispel rumors that the perfume had been discontinued during the war and was being revived so they entered a fabulous marketing blitz for the Shanghai perfume. The theme was China's Autumn Festival and began in mid September and was concluded in November 1947. Long-range planning, careful coordination, and imaginative exploitation of color and atmosphere were the management factors blended by Lentheric, Inc. The theme was exploited in window displays, advertising, publicity, radio and in personal appearances in retail outlets by Chinese American film actress Anna May Wong. Anna May Wong worked as a spokesmodel for the Shanghai perfume and gave personal appearances in retail outlets . As part of the publicity campaign, Wong gave lectures on “Chinese Beauty Customs” in places such as New York's Plaza Hotel and Stern Brothers department store. The promotional tour included 20 different stores. </div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
Each store was presented with a "Shanghai yellow" portfolio tied with tassels decorated with Chinese coins. It contained separate envelopes of tortoiseshell paper in different colors in which were sets of materials for the guidance of the merchandising manager, advertising manager, display manager, and toilet goods buyer.</div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
Big stores participating in the Shanghai perfume promotion made colorful displays in the Chinese theme. Stern's New York, centered their window on a Chinese mannequin posed against yellow curtains. Stores handed out small cut out flyers in the shape of the Shanghai perfume bottle along with programs in black with yellow cord and tassels, and with the Chinese symbol for "good luck" in the upper corner. A tiny gift vial of the perfume was mounted on a replica of the card.</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">Also featured in the tour were fashion shows. Mabley & Carew's style show at the Hotel Netherland Plaza introduced the Shanghai perfume amongst Oriental blue, red, yellow an dpurple colored fashions. Vases of golden chrysanthemums flanked the rostrum to augment the Oriental motif. Highlighting the presentation was a unique theatrical skit combining stylized gestures and nostalgic poetry, "The Princess," interpreted by Anna May Wong. <br />

<u>Fragrance Composition:</u></h3>
<br />
So what does it smell like? It was a floral oriental perfume. In a 1938 newspaper article it was described as "a very suave perfume, a natural affinity for furs, woolens, cold weather, grand for brunettes, and having a warm fragrance...the haunting mystery of the East...subtle and exquisite delicacy of modernized oriental fragrance."<br />
<br />
I am using a vintage 1940's Shanghai perfume nip to review this perfume, and I detect soapy aldehydes in this example, which were probably not used in the Coeur de Paris version. This is a beautiful perfume, very powdery, herbal and spicy with the amber and aldehydes, I also think I detect bee pollen.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Top notes: aldehydes, bergamot, cinnamon, hyacinth, clove, citronella</li>
<li>Middle notes: carnation, jasmine, Bulgarian rose, geranium, lavender, spices</li>
<li>Base notes: frankincense, cedarwood, tonka, vetiver, oak moss, myrrh, benzoin, amber, musk, sandalwood</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br />
I just tested a small amount on my skin from another sealed vintage perfume nip that is over 60 years old. The perfume at first smells aldehydic, pungently citric, a cross between Avon's Skin So Soft and Old Spice, geranium and lavender shine through. It lasts fairly long, spicy and herbal on a warm, woody, musk laden base.<br />
<br />
On paper, the perfume is extremely mossy, with only a short breath of the flowers, I feel that only on the skin does the super sweet gardenia and tuberose blend become very apparent and much more enjoyable.</div>
<div>

<br />
<div>
A 1936 ad reads:</div>

<u>Fragrance Composition:</u></h3>
<br />
<br />
So what does it smell like? It was a heavy, sweet floral perfume on a warm animalic, spicy, ambery base. Heavy on the acacia.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Top notes: citrus, aldehydes, acacia</li>
<li>Middle notes: Bulgarian rose, cinnamon, gardenia, jasmine, tuberose, carnation</li>
<li>Base notes: spices, ambergris, civet, benzoin, musk, oakmoss, myrrh, castoreum, sandalwood, patchouli</li>
</ul>
<br />
I just tested a small amount on my skin from a sealed vintage perfume nip that is over 60 years old. The perfume at first smells mossy, fuzzy, then extremely sweet with gardenia and tuberose, much like vintage Fracas perfume, this lasts for quite awhile, then I get a hint of a slightly soapy Bulgarian rose, and a slightly indolic jasmine breaking through. At the end of the drydown, mingling with amber, soft spices, incense and woodsy notes, you can smell the civet and some "fuzzy" castoreum. This is an extremely nice, sultry, definitely an evening perfume. After an hour, I still smell some of the animalic and sweet floral notes.<br />
<br />
On paper, the perfume is extremely mossy, with only a short breath of the flowers, I feel that only on the skin does the super sweet gardenia and tuberose blend become very apparent and much more enjoyable.<br />
<br />
If you are looking for a beautiful vintage perfume, try this one!<br />

<b><i>Parfum:</i></b><br />
<br />
Dark Brilliance Parfum (extrait) was contained in a gorgeous crystal flacon with a rectangular base which flares upwards. The words "Dark Brilliance de Lentheric" is silk screened in yellow ochre serigraphy on the front of the bottle. The bottle is fitted with a frosted glass stopper resembling a knot. I believe the bottle was manufactured by Verreries Brosse in France. The bottle was designed by Frank McIntosh and was granted a design patent number 149507 (originally filed in 1946 and granted in 1948).<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The bottle is housed inside of a pretty presentation box covered in black paper and adorned with a large multicolored braided yarn tassel. The box was lined in rayon satin.<br />
<br />
The bottle was available in various sizes:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>3/4 oz (21ml) bottle stands 3.25" tall.</li>
<li>2 oz bottle stands almost 4" tall.</li>
<li>6 oz </li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When the fragrance was first introduced it retailed for $15 for the 3/4 oz, $30 for the 2 oz and $75 for the 6 oz bottle in 1946. It was also available for $2.50 per dram (1/8 oz).</div>

Dark Brilliance was also available in the Bouquet Lentheric daytime fragrance in various bottles. The prettiest of all was the one that closely resembled the bottle used for the parfum. This tall flacon was made up of clear crystal and had the identical frosted glass knot stopper. The 4 oz bottle stands 5.5" tall.<br />

Asphodele by Lentheric: launched in 1926, pronounced "As Fo Del". Asphodele refers to the species of daffodil (narcissus) that grow around the Mediterranean and a species growing on both the coasts of Brittany and Galicia. In the ancient times, the daffodils were often used to bloom the grave of the dead, where the legend of Asphodel Meadow , instead of Hades in Greek mythology .

<u>Fragrance Composition:</u></h3>
<br />
So what does it smell like? It was a light, sweet gardenia based fruity floral perfume with subtle green notes on a musky base. I had only the tiniest drop of a sample to test for this blog entry and the sample was quite degraded. I would love to have another go at another sample if someone could provide me one. According to early 1930s newspaper ads, Asphodele was made with "106 different flower "floralities" and "made from the oil of living flowers, so its fragrance lasts".<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Top notes: aldehydes, narcissus</li>
<li>Middle notes: gardenia, tuberose, lily</li>
<li>Base notes: green notes, musk</li>
</ul>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>

So what does it smell like? It was a floral bouquet perfume. I am using a vintage 1940's Shanghai perfume nip to review this perfume, and I detect aldehydes in this example, which were probably used in the 1934 remake of Coeur de Paris for Shanghai. This is a beautiful perfume, very powdery and soapy with the amber and aldehydes, I also think I detect bee pollen.<br />

<h2 style="text-align: left;"><u>Fragrance Composition:</u></h2>
<br />
So what does it smell like? It was classified as a floral leather chypre fragrance for women. Consists of a mixed bouquet of flowers and herbs, just slightly spiced with carnation and lilies, on a leathery chypre base.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Top notes: bergamot, lemon, lilac, coriander, jasmine, rose geranium, hyssop, verbena</li>
<li>Middle notes: carnation, lily, camphor, iris, lavender, rosemary, thyme, tarragon, sage, oregano, basil.</li>
<li>Base notes: vetiver, carrot seed, orris, pine, sandalwood, Moroccan cedar, patchouli, civet, vanilla, leather, oakmoss</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>L'Amour de l'art, 1950a;</div><div><blockquote><i>"Miracle by Lentheric: This perfume, which seems to grant our dearest wishes, combines extracts of moss, patchouli and vetiver. It was dedicated to Lady Diana Manners who interpreted the role of the Madonna in the pantomime play Le Miracle performed at New York in 1924."</i></blockquote></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>
I just tested a small amount on my skin from a sealed vintage perfume nip that is over 60 years old. The perfume at first smells mossy and very aldehydic with a dominant bergamot, verbena and lemon blend. Then a bouquet garni or Herbes de Provence of herbal notes start breaking through: rosemary, coriander, tarragon, thyme, basil, sage, oregano and lavender. I do smell a medicinal camphor note in here too, probably from the herbs. A lovely woody base of cedar, pine and sandalwood punctuated by patchouli and oakmoss is left in the drydown.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On paper, the perfume is extremely mossy and citric, but the herbal notes are not as apparent and would need the warmth of the skin to bring them into fruition. The woodsy notes of pine and cedar are strong.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
In 1936, a trio of crystal bottles was introduced manufactured by Orrefors to hold Tweed, Gardenia de Tahiti and Miracle. Each bottle was etched with a different design on the front and was topped by a frosted glass spire like stopper. The vaulted top box was covered in silver and blue paper. The bottles are often unmarked for the Orrefors name and simply had hang tags which were usually lost over time, so most people are unaware that these were used by Lentheric.</div>
