History
The house of Detaille was born in 1905, the brainchild of the Countess of Presle, who hired renowned perfumers and chemists to come up with a range of highly appreciated essences and skin-care products. Her ‘Preparations de Beauté’ are sold the world over, for the pleasure of kings, queens, princes and maharajahs. 1905 is one of the most famous fragrances in the house of Detaille’s collection. Ylang-ylang meets Indian sandalwood, the greenness of violet and the mysterious charm of oak-moss. An essence worth discovering or re-discovering at selected department stores and perfume shops.
Range
Eau de Toilette, 3.4 fl. oz.
Bottle
The house’s pared down, chic bottle has a square glass base, and a cap and label embellished with thin gold lines. A vintage touch that is all the rage.
