Betrothal Original by the legendary house of Grossmith is a true treasure, launched back in 1893.
Created by the renowned perfumer John Lipscomb Grossmith, this fragrance embodies the refined taste and regal elegance of the Victorian era.
Betrothal Original belongs to the perfume extract category—the richest and longest-lasting concentration. Created for women, it belongs to the floral family.
Its noticeable sillage will not let you go unnoticed—it envelops you in a mysterious, captivating cloud.
The Betrothal Original composition is an exquisite bouquet intertwining a citrus accord, powdery heliotrope, and sweet vanilla.
The heart is filled with luxurious flowers—jasmine, rose, and exotic ylang-ylang.
A base of vetiver and sensual civet lends the fragrance depth, longevity, and a subtle animalic nuance—precisely the kind of notes that made Victorian perfumes unforgettable.
This perfume is a true ode to English traditions. It is no coincidence that Betrothal is often associated with special occasions: balls, receptions, and, of course, weddings.
Each note resonates like a promise of everlasting love and luxury.
If you are captivated by this vintage character, consider similar fragrances: Lush Lust, Abercrombie & Fitch Perfume No1 Undone, and Ladanika Waltz of Flowers.
They share the original's floral soul and sensual warmth.
Betrothal Original can be purchased on the partner's official website.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space

The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
Betrothal Original is built around a striking contrast: a fresh citrus accord gives way to delicate heliotrope.
At the heart, jasmine, rose, and spicy ylang-ylang bloom, intertwined with sweet vanilla. The base is composed of earthy vetiver and sensual civet, lending the fragrance depth and longevity.
