Soviet perfumery - cologne Gold Star

May 9, 1945 - Victory Day!
69 years have passed since the banner of Victory - the victory of the Soviet people over Nazi Germany - was raised over the Reichstag. On May 9, the Red Army liberated Prague, which had rebelled against the German invaders. War is over.

On May 9, 1945, in Moscow on behalf of the entire country, thousands of guns were saluted with 30 artillery salvos. This day cannot be forgotten - in the memory of all mankind, the pain of the endured suffering of the peoples of Europe and the joy of life remain. These feelings overwhelmed everyone. The image of a victorious soldier, fearless, selfless, in whom one could feel inner strength and nobility, more than ever, was necessary in new Soviet films of the post-war years. And this image was embodied by the actor of that time Vladlen Davydov. He played heroes and the military in many films, including Marshal Rokossovsky. His manhood, look, restraint - everything in him was what every woman dreamed of in those years.

The victory and the image of the victorious soldier embodied by the actor V. Davydov - all this greatly influenced even the range of perfumery products.

At that time, the most famous was the Golden Star cologne, created in 1947-1948. factory "New Dawn". The design of the cologne symbolized the Victory and glory of the warriors-heroes. Bottle was made of frosted glass with ground cork. The glass was decorated with a relief of oak leaves. This decor was repeated on the red box. Even in ancient Rome, oak leaves symbolized military strength and courage. A wreath of oak leaves was adorned with a warrior who saved the life of his comrade in battle. The cologne itself belonged to a chypre fragrance, in which notes of oak moss, greenery and citrus sounded.

Cologne "Gold Star" - the personification of the victorious soldier turned out to be with a rather short life. The time has come when the admiration for the front-line soldiers has subsided somewhat. The children of those who were involved in the Great Victory have grown up. And by the 60s, the children and grandchildren of former front-line soldiers began to admire in a different way - the image of an American cowboy, or maybe just a bearded man in a cowboy shirt and sneakers. It was then that the chic chypre scent disappeared - it ceased to be in tune with the new era.

Today, the Golden Star cologne is almost impossible to find, because even on the Internet you can not find almost any information dedicated to this perfume.
