Alla Nazimova, born Marem-Ides (or Miriam Edez Adelaida) Leventon in Yalta to Jewish parents, was once the world’s highest paid actress. She was also credited as “The Founding Mother of Sapphic Hollywood” and even coined the term “sewing circles” to refer to secret society of lesbian and bisexual actresses. 

Her early life was marred by abuse from her father and fear from fleeing pogroms in her home country. But acting came as her escape, and it was a profitable one.

Nowadays, the pioneering actress is rarely remembered, but one brand still carries a perfume they made especially for her in 1914. Caswell-Massey’s “Marem” has top notes of red current and neroli, middle notes of eucalyptus and Crimean rose, and base notes of amber and cedarwood.

A bold fragrance for a bold woman.

okay but real talk, and y'all KNEW I was gonna bring this up-

knowing Scorsese as we do... do we think that the actors were ALSO wearing 1930s cologne/perfume along with those STUNNINGLY ACCURATE COSTUMES or do you think the sets were just FILLED TO THE BRIM with the powder-vanilla-musk 70s scents?

Like was Goncharov wearing Ralph Lauren Polo do you think...?
