Description: By the late 1950s, Patricia Murphy was famous in New York City, Long Island, Westchester County, and Fort Lauderdale, FL, for her restaurants and gardens. She decided to extend her brand into a line of fragrances. Like everything else that Patricia touched, her line of scents was an instant hit. Patricia’s first fragrance, Green Orchid, was a blend of floral scents, described as having “woodsy and woody notes, a whiff of amber, and a pinch of spice.” In 1961 a jewel-top bottle of the perfume sold for three dollars — more than the price of a dinner — but was also available in individual vials. Even budget-minded customers could splurge on a single orchid, available at the greenhouse, and a few vials of Green Orchid perfume. The fragrances were based on Swiss essential oils. At this point in her career, Patricia made sure that anything bearing her name lived up to her standards. She visited the Geneva manufacturer during her gift-shop buying trips to Europe or after watching her racehorse, Treaty Stone, compete in Ireland.
