![]() But I think selling it at Bergdorf's would not hurt.Think back to 2002, the over-the-top lipgloss and pencil-thin eyebrow era. Hopefully also the retail locations will get more, while still keeping exclusivity. It is a young and small company, but they are planning on expanding their range. And that perfume flacon is stunning! 3:09 AM EDT Anonymous said. I'm especially fond of their Chinese Pavillion chandelier. There ARE a few stores that carry Lobmeyr's glass. I wish the Wiener Blut brand was carried in the States- I'd love to smell Klubwasser and some of their other historical scents. The only perfume I've tried from Austria is Pure Distance, which I liked a lot. Oh, let me know what you end up spraying on that beautiful heirloom. ![]() Would be a great idea for Wiener Blut to make Eau de Alma. This sounds absolutely wonderful.a fragrance that my mother would have adored! Thank you for sharing! 10:52 PM EDT Anonymous said. :) 7:02 PM EDT Beth Schreibman Gehring said. Now I just need to choose which scent it will wear! I too like the idea of the scented handkerchief, and have one that my great-grandmother embroidered for my great-grandfather I think that I will use it for this purpose. What a beautiful flacon! And the fragrance sounds lovely-maybe a good summer scent? WOW, you're absolutely right, it was precisely what I meant, eau de Alma, I would definitely buy that one. I am glad that the perfumes are available on their own though, so they are still affordable. Those two brands have really extravagant and impressive flacons. Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it! I wish I would feel a little more of the alleged attributes of Viennese blood on a Monday morning. ![]() I would buy that! :) 2:40 PM EDT Anonymous said. What you describe could be an Alma Mahler celebritiy scent, for example. The use of a handkerchief is truly romantic and quaint, I love it. It really does seem like the Viennese know how to make amazing perfume flacons if Wiener Blut and Puredistance are anything to go by! 2:11 PM EDT Anonymous said. The drydown of Klubwasser sounds fabulous, I'm all for herbal, hay-like and aromatic. What a lovely thing to do, to spray this on your Grandmother's handkerchief - personal and historical at the same time. Mostly though, I enjoyed learning about the name of the company - the thought that Viennese Blood is "full of zest, full of power, full of courage."Ī very enjoyable review, Birgit. :-) 4:37 AM EDT Suzanne said.Ĭan't say that I'm on the lookout for a classic fougere, but if I was, this one certainly sounds good (Indian cumin, lavender and galbanum sounds like a great combo). However, Wiener Blut sounds like a fascinating new brand, I shall be looking forward to hearing more of it. Kind of a modern interpretation of this time. But rather than one imitating the old ones, I suppose I was looking for something which summed up the time of coffee houses, strolls in the Prater, the music of Brahms and Mahler, the paintings of Klimt. You know I have just recently been craving a Vienna 'fin de siecle'- perfume. What an wonderful post, I vividly imagine those viennese gentlemen, in their corsets, sniffing away at their handkerchiefs. ![]() I suppose that once, in an age of more primitive sanitation than we enjoy now, carrying a scented handkerchief was a sensible thing to do. What a nice thing it would be to go and buy some new handkerchiefs, and wash and iron and scent them properly. My mother was fond of hankies and would faithfully wash and iron a bunch of them every week. I have a miserable old collections of hankies, all screwed up in my draw. Not only does Klubwasser sound wondeful, but that flacon- incredible. ![]()
