Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
The scent of powdered wigs. This is an 18th century tincture of dried flowers,
spices, roots and seeds. Use it as a fixative or the foundation of an entire
scent.
A very precious and little-known ingredient of many French fragrances from the
golden age of perfumery was Infusion Poudre à la Maréchale (tincture of
marechale powder). Poudre à la Maréchale was a scented powder that had risen to
popularity during the era of powdered wigs (perukes) in which horse-hair wigs
(which were seldom if ever washed) would be dusted to mask malodours. The
original marechale powder was created in the late 1600s for the wife of the
Maréchal d'Aumont. The materials used varied from perfumer to perfumer though
there were some fundamentals that were common to most: ambrette seeds,
sandalwood, orris root, cloves and a variety of other spices, herbs and usually
one or both of rose petals and orange blossoms.
So popular was Poudre à la Maréchale that even as perukes fell into disuse, the
great perfume houses that were beginning to emerge across Europe continued to
supply the scent as cosmetic powders but also as an infusion (or tincture).
Initially it was sold as an article for wear on its own like a cologne, but it
also came to be added to other fragrances as a fixative base. Most of the early
Guerlain fragrances incorporate this infusion, and Coty's L'Origan (formula
below) owes much of its powderiness and complex dry down to it.
Fraterworks is the only company in the world that is currently making and
supplying Poudre à la Maréchale tincture. We manufacture this product using
materials and methods that are completely traditional. Despite its age, this is
a product which modern perfumers can use to impart a je ne sais quoi to their
fragrances. It is a very powerful fixative and adds complexity, richness and
interest to any scent.
We supply this as a completely natural 20% tincture which is not vegan as it
contains ambergris. Like all tinctures, this product will improve, strengthen
and deepen with age.
Every batch we make is analysed by GCMS to give the most accurate IFRA
recommendation possible. Because this product is entirely from dried raw
materials, each batch will differ slightly.
