The Release's History and Character
Lundborg Fascination is a unisex perfume released in 1880.
The fragrance appeared during the formative years of Lundborg, a perfume house founded in San Francisco in 1873 by Swedish immigrant Johan Lundborg.
The release date alone places Fascination in the context of early American perfume history, when fragrance was gradually becoming an important part of personal style.
The composition is credited to John Marlie Lundborg.
When discovering this fragrance, it is especially important to consider its historical value: Fascination is connected to the house's heritage and reflects Lundborg's interest in expressive, memorable perfume creations.
Positioning and Sillage
Lundborg Fascination is presented as a unisex fragrance, so it can be considered outside strict gender boundaries.
This format will appeal to those who choose perfume primarily by mood, character and the way it reacts with their skin, rather than by the conventional labels of “women's” or “men's.”
The fragrance is rated as having very strong sillage. It is an expressive choice for occasions when a noticeable perfume presence is desired: evening outings, special events and cool weather.
In a small room and during warm weather, it is best to be especially careful with the dosage, as the intense sillage quickly creates a noticeable scented cloud around the wearer.
Concentration and Application
The exact concentration of Lundborg Fascination is not specified in the available data, so it cannot be accurately compared with Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum or Extrait versions.
There is also no information about other concentrations of this release.
No recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing have been provided.
Given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a minimal number of sprays and assess the development after a few minutes, gradually finding a comfortable intensity.
Its Place in a Perfume Collection
The collection to which Fascination belongs is not specified.
Nevertheless, the fragrance is of interest as a historical Lundborg release and as an example of late-19th-century perfumery, one best discussed not only in terms of its note pyramid but also through its connection with the development of the brand and its era.
As the next direction for exploration, consider Nasomatto Sadonaso.
The database also lists Byredo Space Rage Travx and Abercrombie & Fitch Perfume 41 as similar fragrances for further comparison; however, their exact similarity in terms of notes cannot be confirmed, as detailed information about Fascination's composition is unavailable.
