In difficult times, perfumes were considered overkill. But a woman will always remain her. She wants to feel herself in a different, non-military time. Therefore, in the memoirs of the war veterans there were memories of precious bottles, from which they irrigated handkerchiefs and put them in the pocket of the tunic. Military and post-war aromas - aromas of "Red Moscow", "Red Poppy", "White Night", "Summer Garden", "Silver Lily of the Valley". For the older generation, they have become a bewitching memory. The younger generation remembers these "perfume" memories of grandparents.
In addition to the section on Soviet perfumes, other sections are also open on the blog. Here there are reflections of E. Prokofieva about the beloved perfumes of famous people, about perfumes from films, about natural perfumes.
