he was on the Titainc to chase a life-long dreem of selling his perfume

aroung the world .
he survived the disaster but his fragrances were claimed by the ocean
When the ship went down in 1912-where they lay undiscovered for 88
years.
one of the 62 bottles recovered was smashed and experts found that
the scent had been preserved .
The powerful smell of rose and violet had been copied using a fingerprint
of the original chemical composition and visitors to the Edinburgh
International Science festival were among the first to smell it again in
almost a century .

the other bottles were rcoverd in 2000

It sead alot moor but not wrighting it all

what do u all think ples let me know ?

Wonder if his bottles/vials were the ones I saw on exhibit in London last year...they were in a glass case with holes on the side and you could still smell the smell of the purfume... I think one of the smells was Rose..although I don't remember for sure.. Anyways..

Adolphe Saalfeld- First class passenger, Survivor. He died June 5th 1926 and was buried in the Golder's Green Cemtery, West London.

Maybe it says that thay went on disply at the Science Museum in London

last year. did u go there ? but he lived in manchester at the time

he was on the Titainc. he must have moved.

Thank u for that its a big help .

Yeah I took a trip to London last fall for a week and went to the exhibit at the Science Museum. Went down to Southampton as well for a day..

He might not have moved, he just might have wanted his remains placed in West London due to different reasons, maybe his wife was buried there (if he was married, I don't know much about this particular passenger) or he might have had family there.. Just because he wasn't buried in Manchester doesn't nessicarily mean he moved.. But he might have..who knows..

Found an article on Saalfeld

At last! The smell of maritime disaster

Southampton liner Titanic will be resurrected at a science festival today.

An audience at the Edinburgh International Science Festival will be among the first members of the public to smell the perfume, which was found near the wreck of the liner in 2000.

It was recreated by perfumers who established a "fingerprint" of the chemical composition of the Titanic perfume, then found an exact match for the fragrance.

Perfume historian David Pybus described the smell as a mixture of rose and violet.

He said: "It is certainly reminiscent of some of the fine fragrances on the market today."

Mr Pybus, known as the Indiana Jones of the perfume world, was alerted to the perfume's existence when one of the 65 vials discovered on the Atlantic bed broke during excavation, making the whole of the recovery ship smell of roses.

He explained: "The conditions in the debris field near the sunken Titanic were ideal for preservation.

"The perfumes were found in perfect condition and the quality is unsurpassed, even today."

The original scent was created by Adolphe Saalfield, a German Jewish immigrant who lived in Manchester.

Although Saalfield survived the sinking of Titanic, traumatised by what had happened he never resumed his business and died 12 years later.

Ironically the disaster that destroyed Saalfield's dream has preserved his fragrance. It is be launched as part of a range of retro-perfumes in the second half of this year.

The Titanic left Belfast, where it was built, for Southampton on April 2, 1912, and sank 13 days later, with the loss of more than 1,500 lives.

Last week a menu from the first meal served aboard the Titanic sold at auction for 30224351,000.

The menu was among four collections of memorabilia which went under the hammer during the British Titanic Society's Convention held in Southampton.
