Esprit d'Amour

Launched by Blocki in Chicago in 1916, Esprit D’Amour became their flagship fragrance. The wonderful modern version celebrates the hypnotic beauty of florals and pays olfactive homage to the liberated spirit of the original.

A playful duet of lily of the valley (muguet) and lavender are refined and balanced by a cloud of tonka and a zing of citrus. Smooth sandalwood creates depth, soft musk is a subtle reminder of another era. 

From Blocki
Esprit d'Amour is part of the Heritage collection of fragrances inspired by the true stories behind original Blocki fragrances from the early 1900s.

We recreated Esprit d’Amour as a love letter to the pioneering women who made the original Esprit d’Amour famous. The fragrance debuted in 1916 and blossomed into an extensive line of cosmetics that was sold through independently owned salons and beauty shops around the country. It became one of the first lifestyle brands as "the Esprit d'Amour way" took over beauty counters during the roaring 1920s. Thanks to the many articles and advertisements written by the women who loved and sold these products we have been able to uncover the history.

A romantic skin scent with muted florals, warm tonka, and ethereal musk; created with the same spirit of love as the original.

Perfumer
