Greta Garbo, a silent and golden age actress known for her intense performances, mysterious and introverted personality, and her goddess-like profile seemed to gravitate towards scents that matched her complex & brooding intensity. Fragrances worn by Greta Garbo that you can still buy today (reformulated, but close enough to the vintage to warrant inclusion): 🫶Mitsouko by Guerlain - This scent, launched in 1919, was a favorite of several old Hollywood stars. It’s earthy, spicy, and warm without being too sweet, smelling of oak, moss, and peach. The modern reformulation is very similar to the vintage, but the notes are brighter and less intense. 🫶Bois des Iles by Chanel - This fragrance was launched in 1926 and smells of sandalwood and warm spices. The modern reformulation still smells predominantly of sandalwood, but with a gingerbread-y twist. 🫶And her favorite? ArpĆØge by Lanvin - launched in 1927, this was a favorite scent of several old Hollywood stars, including Marilyn Monroe. It’s woody, floral, fresh but strong (the vintage version had a thicker floral profile than the more woodsy, musky modern). Do you own any of Greta Garbo’s favorite scents? LTKselfcare LTKBeauty
