F. Scott Fitzgerald Cologne Inspiration

This cologne was inspired by the scent that was also preferred by Marlene Dietrich, Lieber Gustav 14. The cologne was bought for Fitzgerald as a gift by his wife Zelda. Fitzgerald is a modern spin on a literary scent.
“Something in me vibrates to a dusky, dreamy smell of dying moons and shadows.”

Zelda Fitzgerald Perfume Inspiration
Zelda Fitzgerald was the original flapper and a writer and artist in her own right though she was viewed only in her husband’s shadow. A quintessential, larger than life “it girl,” Zelda was a fan of perfumes by Schiaparelli. Zelda wrote that Salud by Schiaparelli was “sensorily gratifying perfume that I wanted more of it…violets, lilies, and pink beauty.” This interpretation of Zelda plays with florals amongst a backdrop of sensual, smoky accords to capture the woman who famously said, “death is the only real elegance.”
