1947 Mary Dunhill Personalized Cologne, Personalized Lipstick and Scentinel perfume container
A Little HistoryThe most common of Mary Dunhill perfume bottles are the flat disk shapes known as the Scentinel. Introduced in 1937, the Scentinel was made to hold two drams of perfume and was called the "perfume guardian of your purse". These were manufactured of slim, clear glass bottles that were encased in either gold plated brass or solid sterling silver. To prevent spills, the smart metal case protects the tightly stoppered glass vial. It stands 2.25" tall. It was designed after the old fashioned dividing watch case and was originally filled with Dunhill's Frou Frou de Gardenia perfume, by 1942, you could have it filled with White Hyacinth or Flowers of Devonshire. They made great gifts as they could be engraved with a monogram and could be filled with the lucky lady's favorite perfume. In the 1940s, the Scentinel was often packaged with a tiny amber glass funnel and a bottle of perfume.
To continue the personalized theme, Mary Dunhill also introduced Lipstick and Eau de Cologne bottles that could be fitted with individual metal initials.
In 1934, she released the perfume with a whimsical name of Frou Frou de Gardenia, this sweet floral fragrance had notes of gardenia, clove, tobacco and sandalwood. Another floral perfume, Flowers of Devonshire was released two years later. In 1938, the seductive oriental perfume Amulet was launched while Bewitching, an aldehydic floral perfume with a dominant carnation note was introduced in 1941. Two other lovely floral perfumes were introduced, White Hyacinth in 1941 and Escape, with its rich rose note was launched in 1943.
The only daughter among Dunhill's four children, Ms. Dunhill joined the board of Dunhill Holdings in 1944, explaining ''they were rather short of men,'' and in 1961 became chairman, succeeding her eldest brother, Alfred. In 1975, she became president. During her tenure as chairman, the company won the Queen's Award to Industry three times.
