Payan – Fraicheur de Jade (1918)

“Since its creation in 1854 by Mr Payan, the Honoré Payan company has produced and sold perfumes, toilet water and essential oils in compliance with the purest tradition of the French perfumery and Grasse. Since 2002 the company has been partnered with Parfums J. Rigaud to perpetuate the craft and family character of their products with the same concern that has emphasized product quality and satisfaction to their customers for over 150 years. The company still operates to this day in Provence.” Quote from Alexandra Star, Perfumista and Collector.

Fraicheur de Jade was launched in 1918. Notes include Violet, Apple, Pear, Rose, Lily, Bergamot, Jasmine, Vanilla, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean.

It is a very light, spring-like scent with a decided bent towards violet, but with delicate apple and pear notes added to the sweet freshness. The name translates to “Freshness of Jade,” which is an odd name for a perfume, unless Payan was trying to indicate a green, spring impression, which is just what the scent communicates.

The presentation is in a beautiful crystal bottle, which is in and of itself more interesting than the perfume.
