Parfums Grenoville is one of those great "obscure" French perfume houses from the 20th century which was established by Paul Grenoville at 20 rue Royale, Paris in 1879. He actually changed his family name from ‘Grenouille’, which means frog in French. The company was associated with Marie Marthe Richard Vive in 1910, and then after 1923 the company was affiliated with Parfise, and won silver medal in 1925.
The business did very well for many many years and the perfumery passed down through numerous hands while producing a prodigious list of releases throughout the teens and 1920s. In 1943 the company even acquired another company, the smaller Parfums de Clamy. Despite surviving two through two World Wars, Grenoville gradually declined. After 1940s, there were fewer releases, one dating from the 1950s which was ‘Esbroufe' and finally 'XX Vincent' was released in 1971. Grenoville perfumes were often housed in Baccarat bottles or those from Les Cristalleries de Nancy.
Launched in 1929 Casanova, also known as "La Volupté de l'Orient", is an intoxicating amber floral with a base of vanilla & sandalwood. There are no perfume notes to be found remaining on this once tremendously popular perfume. I would imagine it would be constructed like this ...
Top notes are Orange Blossom, Citrus, Neroli, and Bergamot
Heart notes are Ylang Ylang, Orange, Honeysuckle, Heliotrope, and Carnation
Base notes are Vanilla, Amber, and Sandalwood
Offered here is a pristine one ounce flacon of the beautiful dusky Cassanova with its original box. Hard to find this in the perfume concentrate, although I have seen cologne available. Beautiful little flacon with crystal plug under the stainless steel topper.
