Salut de Schiaparelli
| Posted on July 31, 2010 at 10:47 PM |
Salut was launched by Schiaparelli in 1934, and was meant to be worn as an accessory to women's sports clothes.
I am lucky enough to have a small sample of this fragrance, which I believe is the eau de cologne strength. There are no notes listed anywhere so I am testing this sample right now to give you an idea of what notes I do detect. The overall effect is vibrant, sharp, crisp, and fresh, green with a slight medicinal tone. Let's just say this is a romantic chypre and very heavy on the lily of the valley!
Top notes of aldehydes, citrus, citronella?, geranium, hyssop?, middle notes of lily of the valley (muguet), jasmine, ylang ylang, neroli, gardenia, narcissus, hyacinth, and tuberose, resting on a sandalwood, oakmoss and vetiver base with possible hints of benzoin.
"SALUT by SCHIAPARELLI, a floral fragrance with a salute to the brilliance of evening and of the stars. In a graceful bottle enclosed by a plaster lily. " c1939 ad.
"SALUT. DE SCHIAPARELLI. Eau de Cologne and Bath Sponges. A beauty in a wonderful French fragrance. Salut has a flowerlike scent that is fresh and sweet." c1940.

The entire presentation is in mint condition.
Very little evaporation has occurred, the juice is deep gold in colour & contains no sediment also the stopper is sealed with the usual gilded twine and onion skin.
I am grateful to learn of it's olfactive formula as very little reference material seems to be available on this rare vintage parfum.
Kind Regards.
