‘In the late 1920s, Jean Patou installed a special cocktail bar in his showrooms, which, he said, “is to quench the thirsts of bored husbands and other men during fittings. Three cocktail themed perfumes created by Henri Almeras (Cocktail Sweet, Cocktail Dry, Cocktail Bitter Sweet) as well as Angostura perfumes were available to the general public about a year later. Some of the Angostura bottles contained the essential oils of Chypre, lily-of-the-valley, Ambre, Opoponax, Sandalwood, Jasmine and Incense. Meant to be mixed into one’s own bottles, especially the ‘My Own Cocktail’ bottle or onto the skin, much like playing bartender and making one’s own cocktail of scents. A super cute idea! Two drawers contained blotters titled “Jean Patou”, seven pipettes, and a graduated cylinder. All bottles were made by Verreries Brosse.’- Jean Patou Perfumes (Blogger)
