”
Everyone makes divine mistakes” – Guenevere’s Lusty Month of May Song From Camelot
Divine Folie is a warm and spicy floral fragrance of yesteryear. This is so out of this world even to smell. I smelled this at the Osmotheque in Versailles. The opening is a fresh neroli and citrus which replaces aldehydes. It’s like aftershave but more floral with that neroli. There is also orange blossom right from the start. Then it turns into a lovely ylang flower and jasmine. It’s florals for days. Mature, Church lady with flowers. An altar to the Virgin Mary with flowers. This smells religious to me. The dry down is a musk with a hint of vanilla. This is gorgeous.

Reminds Me Of 24 K Jivago
A classic floral fragrance. This does not open with aldehydes despite the fact that aldehydes had already been established and by 1933 were already a decade old. This reminds me of the perfume 24 K by Jivago in that it is floral with powdery notes. This has some powder in it. The neroli and orange blossom are citrusy but not heavy. The ylang ylang is noticeable early on as is the jasmine. The rose blooms beautifully and gives this scent a rose powder effect because of it’s being paired up with orris root (iris). The dry down is a light musk. This was very simple and beautifully floral. My grandmother had this in her collection and now it’s mine but it’s now turned and is mostly a weird iris and musk combination. This must have been very light and youthful as a perfume back in the 30’s, perhaps something for young women to wear as an introduction to perfume, someone’s first perfume.

It’s a beautiful, sweet, warm and smooth floral with only a hint of spice. Orange blossom, ylang, vanilla – and I get a lot of carnation, although it is not listed. It has elements of Oscar, L’Heure Bleue and maybe even a little of the early Escadas. After a couple of hours, the floral notes fade and it gets very musky. I love it, especially in autumn.
