Re: The perfume aboard titanic
HI TTF

Re: The perfume aboard titanic
One would hope - although I had hoped for something more original that a roses and violets combination. Show some originality!

Re: The perfume aboard titanic
Hi TTf
This may be of nterest and I am still trying to find more detail on it.
The Times (London)
April 10, 2004, Saturday
SECTION: Home news; 11
HEADLINE: Titanic perfume comes in waves
BYLINE: Chris Johnston
BODY:
A perfume re-created from a fragrance recovered from the wreck of the Titanic will go on sale this year.
The public was given its first whiff of the scent yesterday at the Edinburgh International Science Festival.
The fragrance was retrieved from the sunken ship four years ago and has been recreated by establishing its chemical composition and determining its components.
David Pybus, a perfume historian responsible for reproducing the scent, said: "It's like forensic science. We need only a few drops and then we can identify all the ingredients and create the perfume again." He described the smell as a mixture of rose and violet.
The original scent was created by Adolphe Saalfield, a German Jewish immigrant from Manchester. He had been in the first-class section of the ship, hoping to make his fortune in New York. He lost the pouch containing the vials as the boat sank in April 1912 and he jumped into a lifeboat.
That action destroyed his career as the public took a dim view of men who had survived on lifeboats designated for women and children.
The perfume may be called Heart of the Ocean, after the necklace worn by Kate Winslet in the Oscar-winning film.

Re: The perfume aboard titanic
HI 7th
Interesting thaught that actually, I am not sure. It all depends on the price I supose and what in reality it smells of.
But the good conservative guess by Lights sounds good to me.

Re: The perfume aboard titanic
As I said another violet-and-roses combination - easily half of the perfumes have one, the other, or both in them. I had hoped for a bit of originality -
Oh well, they have a range of scents there, maybe they will come up with more....

Re: The perfume aboard titanic
Celine Dion's lotion and perfume smells wanderfull i have it.
as for the essence of titanic ...well it seems a bit intersting to see how it smells.
and as for the wager i bet 45- 50 percent. depending as graham says on the price.

Re: The perfume aboard titanic
But the thing is this isn't really essence of Titanic (all joking aside that that would smell terrible) it's merely stuff made from the identical essences down there, and not even terribly originally.
