EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting advertisement for Dralles Illusion, THE Coronation Perfume, from the year 1911. This print invites us to imagine the allure and elegance of a bygone era. The image features a stunning crown adorned with an array of blooms, including violets, lilacs, carnations, roses, lilies-of-the-valley, and narcissus. These exquisite flowers were the inspiration for Illusion, a perfume that was unrivaled for its fidelity to nature. The perfume's name and the image of the crown are a nod to the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary of the United Kingdom, which took place in 1911. Illusion was a fitting tribute to the grand occasion, as one drop of this fragrance was said to evoke the essence of these beautiful flowers in all their glory. This advertisement for Illusion was a grand success, winning the prestigious Grand Prix at the Brussels Exposition Universelle in 1910. The award further cemented the perfume's reputation as a masterpiece of fragrance artistry. The intricate details of the crown and the delicate petals of the flowers are a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The use of soft, muted colors adds to the dreamlike quality of the image, transporting us back to a time when perfume was a symbol of luxury, sophistication, and the height of fashion. This print is a beautiful reminder of the rich history of perfumery and the enduring allure of fragrance. It invites us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into creating a fragrance that can evoke memories and emotions, and transport us to another time and place.
