Royal Houbigant by Houbigant: launched in 1904. It was available as perfume, powder and soap.
So what does it smell like? It was classified as an oriental fragrance for women. I have no notes on this composition, I would need a sample to tell you what it smells like. All I know is that it was considered a "strong perfume"recommended to be worn by black haired and brunette haired women.
