   I’m so excited this has been added! Cheap as dirt but it’s good. Picture a slightly more (only slightly) feminine version of Pinaud Clubman. To me, it’s more fougere than Oriental.

   You could buy this at Woolworth’s for about a quarter in the 1950s. It seems that someone bought me a bottle, I only remember it was cloyingly sweet. I blame Blue Waltz for always disliking Shalimar, White Shoulders and other, expensive ones of that era. Still, it had its place as a cheap starter fragrance for junior high school girls!

   I’m not a mail order person, but I had to to obtain this beauty. I’m pretty sure this is the mini I had as a child in the 60s. It is a variation of Loves Baby Soft, Ambush, Canoe, Pinaud Clubman. All of these I enjoy at home only.

   My mother used to wear this when she was under 18!
   Or so she tells me.
   This was a 1950’s drugstore cheapie fragrance which according to my mother was a clean powdery floral scent, very easy to wear, not a statement or expressive perfume, reminiscent of such frags as Shalimar – or rather the current issue of Shalimar Cologne & Eau de Toilette, Parfum Initial & L’Heure Bleue. I have worn those fragrances & can confirm that it does smell a bit similar. Also it has an aura of Oscar De La Renta Esprit. This is still available in some drugstores & on eBay. The scent is linear & doesn’t last very long, a light powder toilette and the notes are of: vanilla, lemon, carnation, red rose, powdery notes, benzoin, oakmoss, geranium and coumarin.
   The first thing you smell is citrus courtesy of a lemon & coumarin almost like an orange blossom. I don’t know if orange blossom was a note that was around in the old days but it smells just like orange blossom a citrus floral scent. In this way it does ressemble Shalimar. But it’s much sweeter and not as medicinal or bitter as Shalimar citruses. Then I smelled the floral notes: iris, rose, geranium and a little jasmine. This is not white floral but I did detect at least one white flower. This is mostly a powdery rose like the rose in Shalimar Parfum Initial. This is powdery & very soft, youthful & sweet.
   My mother tells me she wore it to her first boy/girl party and that it was a favorite among Southern teenagers in Georgia & Alabama in the mid 50’s. It was so soft and feminine but not in a mature way as it smells of then edible “gourmand” vanilla. It was something girls wore to their junior prom, school dances, or to socialize or dance in front of jukeboxes. There is something milky & vanilla about it like a MILKSHAKE. Can you imagine the smell of a perfumed milkshake? It’s that sweet & yummy. The vanilla is the major note & takes over the dry down.
   This perfume is very outdated by today’s standards but it smells so good & works with my chemistry which never gets too “mature” for fragrances that are sweet. I think this is a delicious fragrance and I love powdery perfumes so this is just my cup of tea. I wear it now & then for my own pleasure & when my mother smells it she rolls her eyes. “You’re wearing my perfume you cheeky devil” she says while laughing.
   I love it.
   This fragrance has long been discontinued but should be credited as a very well made early (and I do mean early) vanilla gourmand fragrance. Vintage lovers would eat this up. It’s such dreamy vanilla! I think this fragrance is perfect for winter but it’s good any season all year round.
   Sweet & pretty!

   Fragrance Review For Blue Waltz
   Joubert
   Notes
   Vanilla lemon, carnation, red rose, powdery notes, benzoin, oakmoss, geranium coumarin
   This is a perfume my mother wore when she was a kid! She recently rediscovered this fragrance on ebay. She told me it was her very first perfume. It’s been compared to Shalimar, but after smelling it myself I can see it smells a lot more floral than Shalimar. It’s more like Emeraude.
   The bottle is adorable. The fragrance itself is powdery and light, innocent, sweet and easy to wear. I smelled roses in powdered form, geranium and a citrus. It’s fresh and sweet, but turns powdery and like a little girl’s vanilla scented hand lotion. There is also a baby powder type of scent. The rose and geranium as well as carnation stand out.
   It seems to speak of young girls in poodle skirts at the malt shop or the ice cream parlor or a diner where they serve vanilla ice cream, root beer and where there is a jukebox. Teens congregate to dance and mingle.
   Totally a perfume that matches up with the TV show Happy Days.
   Vanilla dominates the dry down, creamy delicious vanilla.
   I really do like this perfume but having both Emeraude and Shalimar I don’t need to wear this too much. It’s really nice and nostalgic for those of you who were teens of the 50’s or a perfume for vintage classic perfume lovers.

   Spicy, powdery-sweet, even a little incensey, “Blue Waltz” is one of those simple little perfumes that feels cozy and like a general idea of what perfume should smell like (rose-jasmine-powder-citronella).
   At one point in recent months, I had a drawer full of these. Be careful with the cap, don’t put it on too tightly or you’ll break it but otherwise, there’s something so satisfying about dabbing on a scent from this heart-shaped bottle. It fits in the palm of your hand. The overall feeling of this scent is slightly humid baby powder with a fresh overlay of sweet citronella and to me, it feels very 1950’s in spirit: Perfectly primped and feminine.

   This stuff cost 10 cents when I was a little girl! You could by it at the Dime Store or at a drug store.
   It smells a lot like Shalimar.
