Comment (FraterWork)
When Fougère Royale launched as the first perfume with synthetics in 1889, it
wasn't just coumarin that made it popular: it also contained amyl salicylate and
a number of other synthetics.
Amyl Salicylate is the classic orchid and clover synthetic. Orchids are mostly
(but not always) odourless and in the golden age of perfumery the master noses
decided that if orchids had a smell, it would be this. Accented with rose
alcohols, anisic aldehyde and acetophenone
[https://fraterworks.com/products/acetophenone], most classic bases relied on
rather large doses. Poucher has one such base in his formulary with a whopping
50% amyl salicylate though he preferred Isobutyl Salicylate if it were
available.
Here is his complete Orchid No 1085:
500 Amyl Salicylate
200 Anisic Aldehyde [https://fraterworks.com/products/anisaldehyde-natural]
100 Geraniol Extra [https://fraterworks.com/products/geraniol-extra]
50 Acetophenone [https://fraterworks.com/products/acetophenone] (perhaps too
much for modern tastes)
50 Rosewood oil (substitute Rosewood Cayenne
[https://fraterworks.com/products/rosewood-cayenne] base)
2 Benzaldehyde [https://fraterworks.com/products/benzaldehyde-50-dpg]
50 Peru Balsam [https://fraterworks.com/products/peru-balsam-resinoid]
3 Aldehyde C-9
10 Dimethyl Hydroquinone (found naturally in violet flowers)
35 Heliotropin [https://fraterworks.com/products/piperonal]
He accents the above with orange blossom
[https://fraterworks.com/products/orange-blossom-supreme], cassie
[https://fraterworks.com/products/cassie-absolute] and jasmine absolute
[https://fraterworks.com/products/jasmine-absolute-egypt].
Aside from Houbigant's Fougère Royale (1882), Amyl Salicylate was featured in a
huge overdose in the great Pompeia (1907) by Piver. Both demo formulas can be
found below.
