Jaroslava 1919
A playful floral gourmand eau de toilette blending sweet strawberry, tea, and creamy vanilla ice cream.
Jaroslava 1919
Jaroslava 1919 is an eau de toilette by Japanese lifestyle house MUCHA, inspired by the historical portrait of Jaroslava Mucha created by her father, artist Alphonse Mucha.
About This Fragrance
Following Czechoslovakia's independence in 1918, Alphonse Mucha designed the new republic's 1919 ten-koruna banknote as a celebratory gift to his homeland. The banknote featured an emblematic portrait of his beloved daughter Jaroslava wearing a daisy floral crown, symbolizing hope, peace, and national pride. MUCHA translates this tender intersection of historical celebration and paternal affection into fragrance, evoking a nostalgic impression of sweet strawberries and ice cream.
Scent Profile
The scent opens with an inviting, sparkling burst of sweet strawberry and dark blackberry, lifted by bright citrus accents and the aromatic freshness of bergamot reminiscent of fine black tea. In the heart, delicate jasmine pairs with aromatic herbal notes and dry tea leaves, echoing the refined poise of the daisy wreath portrait. The base develops a comforting gourmand character as smooth vanilla ice cream melts together with warm resinous amber and creamy sandalwood, yielding a rounded, decadent woody sweetness that gently settles on the skin.
Who It's For & When to Wear It
With its blend of playful berries, aromatic tea leaves, and comforting melted ice cream accords, Jaroslava 1919 appeals to wearers who enjoy nostalgic gourmand florals with an artistic heritage. Its uplifting sweetness makes it well suited for relaxed daytime outings, weekend brunch gatherings, and leisurely afternoon strolls when seeking a cheerful, comforting personal scent.
