"Thanks to synthetic ingredients, perfumers have a constantly expanding collection of tools to make their art." - DALLAS TAYLOR, Twenty Parts Per Thousand, Twenty Thousand Hertz #TwentyThousandHertz #NationalPerfumeDay #DallasTaylor

A glass bottle on a green field. Etched on the bottle is "E.W. Hoyt & Co., Perfumers. Phila." 93.13.27.

Have you ever had a sample card or page of perfume? The idea of soaking a card in perfume was developed by Freeman Ballard Shedd, who worked for E.W. Hoyt in 1870. April 14 is #NationalPerfumeDay.

This bottle can be dated to after 1918, when "German" was removed from the bottle.

For #FindsFriday on #NationalPerfumeDay, a Roman perfume bottle! The base is stamped S • V (or A). These marked phials came from imperial estates in Spain, France & Italy. Did it once hold an exotic or floral blend? We’ll never know, but smelling good never goes out of style!
