As many know, Eau De Cologne started in the 18th century. It was said to be Napoleon's favorite. Now with that said, all recipes go through various reformulations as time passes. I just assumed everyone knew this, but in case you didn't...now you do. For example, this specific original recipe book had 2 to choose from an English style and a French Style. The style depends largely on the base called for in the recipe as well as all the herbs and oils... but mostly the type of SVR (Ask us what it means- It's an apothecary term we have to use because the bots don't like the normal modern word ). I liked this recipe because not only was it a great date- The original document gave a little history on the famous scent as well.

Eau de Cologne has been one of the top fragrances ever since it made its debut. It remained very popular even in the US, and updated variations on the original ( from the 18th century) can still be purchased today.

The 1857 writings claim it was originally introduced as a "Help - all", but this recipe was in the perfumery category. It talks about how as a perfume, this ranks very high amongst public taste because it was known as a "refreshing" scent. This recipe goes on to talk about the difference between perfumes and colognes and how to distinguish if they are French or English. This is an English-based recipe. If you like this- maybe we can try the French recipe at a later date. :)

This is made from organic ingredients without chemical additions. This would also make a great gift or even to set out on your vanity, as the historical label is sure to please.

Gentlemen used this as aftershave and cologne, but ladies could also use it too.

Many people described it as a Fruity, Orange-ie, with a hint of Neroli and very refreshing with a clean scent

Ingredients include: Neroli, Rosemary, Orange-Peel, Lemon, Bergamot, SVR

Because this is a natural product with no chemical additives, the bottle may need to be gently shaken before use.

If you ever wanted to know what popular perfume smelled like from the Civil War, this is your chance.
It is a scent that can be used for both men and women.
