Géranium D'Espagne (Spanish Geranium)

I have this stuff too, and it's the best geranium ever. Someone needs to bring back geranium to the masses. Next time Chanel wants to bring out one of those posh French Riviera inspired scents, put some geranium in it. In the meantime most of my Lanvin Spanish Geranium could use refreshment, although my bath oil still seems ok. But the Spanish Geranium soaps were the very best. Don't know if eBay still has them, but they really bring back the 1950's and early 1960's era. 5 minutes later: I just looked at the prices of the soap on eBay, and good grief, they've really gone up. My apologies for introducing you to yet another expensive vice. Fabulous soap though.

This citrusy, herbal rose geranium scent is very invigorating and quite unisex in today's standard. Chicago Tribune advertising on November 8, 1960 has the best description: "The pungency, the herbal ancestry of the real Spanish geranium is all here......To loll in its fragrance is to dream of moon drenched balconies in Seville. Flamenco dancers and the romantic strains of the Spanish guitar. But when you wear the geranium fragrance, or dust yourself with the powder after a bath, there is no languor. It's the type of scent that makes you feel crisp and bright."
