This floral perfume, created în 1907 by the famous perfumer Pierre Armingeat (1874 - 1955) for the house of L.T.Piver was one of the first to use the aldehydic note together with amyl salycilate.
The formula I present is an interpretation (a carbon copy :) using some period bases. Two remarks: α hexyl cinnamic aldehyde did not exist în 1907, neither Bulgarome (Synarome). :)
The present Pompeia found in some parisian stores is only a faint image of the past glory.

GAH! I just saw an old bottle of this going for a virtual song on eBay and passed it up. Drat. Now I'm totally kicking myself. Thank you for this post, though.
