*Perfume buttons usually consisted of a small scrap of velvet overlaid with decorative pierced brass. During the Civil War, a woman would stitch one of these perfumed buttons under her man’s uniform collar, so that far from home and in the midst of great danger, he would be comforted by the familiar fragrance of his beloved. (Perfume buttons were also worn by women generally in those days because the perfumes of the Victorian Era were oil-based and therefore easily stained clothing. Perfume buttons not only eliminated this risk, but also lent staying power to a dab of perfume).
