The history of Soviet women’s hair salon and cosmetics

 Krasnaya Moskva (Red Moscow) perfume continues to be one of the most recognised of all the Soviet classics, packaged in a bottle that resembles the Kremlin’s towers. The perfume’s origins are a mystery. Orginally called The Empress’ Favourite Bouquet, it was created in 1913 for Empress Maria Feodorovna, mother of Russia’s last emperor Nicholas II.
