“Red Moscow” — famous in Soviet times women’s perfumes produced by the Moscow factory “New Dawn”. A glass bottle with a red lid in the shape of an onion was the object of desire of many Soviet fashionistas. The perfume “Red Moscow” has become a symbol of its era. They were loved, they were dreamed of, they were carefully stored and spent drop by drop, on special occasions.
The perfume contains more than 60 components and has a complex pyramid of smell consisting of several levels. The official description of the perfume says: “A subtle, warm, noble fragrance with a hint of orange blossom.” Main scents: iris, carnation, jasmine, orange blossom, musk, citrus, heliotrope.
The history of the creation of the legendary Soviet fragrance began before the revolution, back in 1912. It was then that an aspiring French perfumer named Henri Brocard presented Empress Alexandra Feodorovna Romanova with the first copy of a perfume then unknown to anyone. The empress liked the fragrance so much that she ordered it to be delivered to her regularly. Alexandra Feodorovna gave it the name “Empress’s Garden”. However, this product did not go to the masses immediately. Moreover, in those days, the use of any perfume was a privilege exclusively for ladies from the upper class leading a secular life.
Later, Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna personally visited the perfume factory of Henry Brocard in France. She was so impressed with this enterprise that she wanted to move production to her country at all costs. So the fate of the Russian perfumery was decided. The unique fragrance first appeared in Moscow, and then throughout Russia. This historic event helped the empire to reach a new level. It should be noted that modern Russia can still be proud of the perfume production on its territory thanks to the masters from France and the enterprise of the Empress and Princess.
Already by 1921, an official branch of the Brocard perfume factory was opened in Russia, which after the revolution was named “New Dawn”. The production was aimed exclusively at famous perfumes. This allowed them to be distributed throughout the Soviet Union. The establishment of a factory in the country allowed for the mass production of perfume, which received the patriotic name “Red Moscow” and became the best-selling fragrance in history. Initially, the perfume was supposed to be called 2 “Soviet worker”, but having decided that such a name would simply push away at foreign exhibitions, the perfume became “Red Moscow”. The formula of the perfume has not changed for 100 years of continuous production. And their packaging, which was developed in 1924, has become a real symbol of the Soviet era. The red color and towers symbolized the famous Red Square in Moscow.
