The Victorian Laurels Historical Society Presents:

Issue #17 “Tea & Crumpets”

With the celebration of spring, we debut our newest product in the Victorian Laurels Fragrance Line:

Our luxurious pretty pink Hand & Body Lotion with the same ‘Victorian Laurels’ scent!

In honor of this new arrival and in anticipation of beautiful spring weather,

we are having our first annual “Bermuda Sale”!

But first, a bit of history on the name and the Island paradise:

1503: Spanish captain Juan de Bermudez sights the uninhabited island.

It's eventually named after him.

1883: Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria, comes to Bermuda. Her visit helps to promote the island as a tourist destination. It was because of her husband’s Royal Appointment as Governor General of Canada - and may also have been because of his philandering - that she was able to visit Bermuda, not just once in 1883 but several times later. She made no secret of the fact that she much preferred the much warmer winter climate of Bermuda to that of Canada. She was Bermuda's first official tourist in 1883. The two big local Princess Hotels are named after her. The first was the Hamilton (or Pembroke) Princess built originally in the late 1880's but modernized since. The real Princess consented to the name because it was built from the publicity she brought Bermuda. In fact, she was present for the grand opening and formally named the hotel. Bermuda also owed her a great debt because more than anyone else she put Bermuda on the map of tourism with her fame and stature. She referred to Bermuda as the "Shangri La" of holiday destinations.

And now for the unveiling of our newest Victorian Laurels Fragrance Product:
