His imperial consort, Josephine, was even more fond of scent than her warlike husband; she. used musk, the most penetrating odor known to perfumers. The story is told that the walls of her apartments at Malmaison Palace, in the suburbs of Paris, were so impregnated with her favorite scent that repeated washings and paintings failed to eliminate it entirely. Napoleon’s toilette occasioned little surprise in his day; it was simple compared with that of some other kings, The Roman rulers, for instance, were predigal in their perfuming, and drew héavily upon the Orien- tal coyntries under their denomination for their exotic scents. More perfume was consumed at the funeral of Emperor Nero’s wife, Poppaea, than was sent from Arabia ina year. Since the beginning of history man has known that odor exerts a powerful influence upon his nervous system, and with the first craving for lux- ury has turned instinctively to perfume. Men have a keener sense of smell than women. This may explain, in part, why today men do not like the stronger perfumes preferred by some women. But modern science has & more complex explanation, one that goes back to the savage days when men literally pursued and captured their wives, Whatever the explanation, women have always perfumed themselves, and centuries before the Christian era even the barbarous Scythian women were making a paste of bruised cypress, cedar and incense- tree wood, which they coated themselves with one day and removed the next, leaving the body clean and fragrant, i Few realize that the lure of affinity, the temporary suspension of reason we call being “in love,” and even friendly sympathy, are intimately connected with odor; yet man has inherited from remote ancestors olfactory memories of experiences that react on him in much the same manner as what we call instinct in animals. It is because of these primitive experiences, and especially their connection with particular odors, that we instinctively like or dislike individuals until reason modifies our first impression. The most interesting process of the perfumer’s art is the extraction of the delicate flower fragrances. At Grasse, the huddled hillside village, two score perfumeries concentrate the scent of countless flowers. The flower farms are in the near-by villages. From December yntil March the perfumeries work on patchouli, an East Indian herb, sandal-wood, rosewood and other non-floral raw materials. In March work begins on the fresh flowers; first the Parma Violet, then the Jonquil, Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, Mignonette, Tube Rose and Cassia buds, In less quantities Heliotrope, Myrtle, Carnation, Rose, Geranium and other flowers are used, Flowers for perfume are picked at the hour when their scent is strongest. The Rose is gathered as soon as opened; the Carnation after three hours’ exposure to the sun; Jasmine immediately after sunrise. The late Czarina of Russia preferred her toilet water made of Violets picked near Grasse at twilight. In one erfumerie alone, in one tang the following flowers were used: 2,400 tons of Roses, 1,750 tons of Orange lossoms, 182 tons of Violets, 280 tons of Jasmine, 70 tons of Tube Roses, 15 tons of Jonquils. These amounts are not so impressive when one realizes that 11 tons of Roses—about 3,000 blossoms—are required to make one pound of altar of Roses.Wild Thmye and Lavender lose their fragrance if transported, so the stills are set up in the flelds where they grow. Much is written on the subject of perfume and “personality” and in the larger cities there are specialists that undertake to fit their clients with fragrance as a costumer fits them with clothes, In this, age, type. complexion, and other characteristics are the determining factors, But nature seldom makos mistakes, and most perfumers agree that women had best rely upon instinet to guide them in thelr choice, It serves the woman of today, with a thousand scents to choose from, s3 unerringly as it served tho woman of Egypt, who had but few, Express the sentiments of St, Valentine’s Day with a fitting remembrance. or toilet water, which lends romance to this work-a-day world of ours, this display of thoughtfulness and attention, We have an unusually extensive selection of perfumes and toi- in lot water, exquisite bottles, the originality of which will appeal to her, Come in soon, so that you may have the benefit of a wide choice, Casper’s Pioneer 241 S.
