Adolph Goetting
Chemist-in-Chief at
Suffern Laboratory
California Perfume Company
|
The California Perfume Company not only purchases the very finest of raw
materials direct from that part of the world where the best is produced, but is also equipped at the
laboratory at Suffern, New York, with the most modern machinery, and has the benefit of the services of that international perfume artist, Mr. Adolph
Goetting.
(EXCERPT FROM
THE STORY OF PERFUMERY AND THE CPC, BY WILLIAM SCHEELE, C. 1916)
Therefore, in 1896,
I secured the
services of the best perfumer I could find, a gentleman who had been in the perfume business himself for 25 years and had the reputation in New York and vicinity for making the finest perfumes on the American market. In order to secure his services I was obliged to buy out his business and close up his laboratory, and he now has full charge of the manufacturing of every ounce of goods we put out.
(EXCERPT FROM A
HISTORY OF THE CALIFORNIA PERFUME COMPANY, BY DAVID H. MCCONNELL,
C. 1903)
David H. McConnell secured
the services of one of the premier New York perfumers of the
late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries; Mr. Adolph Goetting.
During the period of 1871 to 1896, Goetting advertised and sold various
perfume products under the name "Goetting's" and "Goetting and
Co., New York." Additionally, one of the fragrances sold by Goetting was imported
from France: "Savoi et Cie, Paris." For a more detailed
explanation of Adolph Goetting and his effect on the California Perfume
Company, please see
