ID# 1435 Lorie Perfumers Jasmine of Southern France 1/2 oz Ultra Rare 1927 Parfum Lorie Perfumers was located in LA, CA in the 1920s and they launched fragrances and toiletries using Czechoslovakian bottles. Jasmine of Southern France perfume was first released around 1927. I usually don't recommend a jasmine perfume more than 50 years old. They turn rancid smelling. But this is truly the best smelling jasmine and I have smelled. When Chanel created Chanel No 5 in 1921 they used the best jasmine from Grasse, France. Once they started to use that jasmine, they had to continue to maintain the exact composition. And so they bought most of the jasmine produced in Grasse, leaving only jasmine from India and Greece for other perfume houses. Even today, in Grasse, there is very little production of jasmine flowers available to other perfume houses, it is reserved almost exclusively for Chanel. It is harvested by the Mul family who owns large plantations in Grasse. This perfume is undoubtedly Jasmine Grandiflorum. A type of jasmine that is so expensive no one can even afford to use it in commercial perfumes. Today, the price for a soliflor Jasmine Grandiflorum perfume would retail for at least $2,000 an oz. I am not joking here. Now you know why no one can reproduce Chanel No 5. Knock-offs have to use the lesser quality of jasmine and it is obviously not as good as what Chanel produces. available Price: $ 350 Item 1435 Get more details
