Doing my own head in trying to remember a word, please help me

[TiffanyIceberg]

I'm blaming the medication, but it is so frustrating.

It's a word that described a really popular antique rose colour in the 1920's 1930's. Used as dress fabric, lipstick etc. It's an antique rose type colour. Not dusty or dusky or powder. Sort of old rose goldy bronzy type colour, like the colour they go when they start drying out.

Please can anyone help my poor addled brain?

Damask?

I was going to say damask too.

Coral?

Could it be Ashes of Roses?

rose madder?

Tea Rose

Antique rose ?

I was going to say coral as well.

Sepia

Im psychic

Tea rose?

I was going to say ashes of roses too (harking back to The Thornbirds ).

@potoroo

Could it be Ashes of Roses?

Yes!!! Oh my God thank you so much!!! You are a total star

Salmon
Mountbatten
Crepe
Baby
Rouge
Blush

Oh bugger too slow!

Calamine?

My DM used to go on about carmine too, but I think that's redder

Sounds like Attar of Roses, but I think that's a perfume.

Briar rose, buff, mauve?

Hooray! That must be the most useful thing I've done today :)

And I'd forgotten about The Thornbirds! Nice one StCharlotte.

I kept thinking that too.

You are all awesome, thank you for your help.

Now if you can find me a replacement or dupe for Avon Crushed Rose lipstick, my life will be complete. I've found two on eBay in America but it costs nearly a tenner to get them delivered.

This was amazing. Four answers in!

Oooh... Can I please make a request if this is the magic thread? Years ago there was a perfume called by Ralph Lauren called Glamorous, whats the closest thing that smells like it that I could buy these days?

I found these www.perfumemaster.com/ralph-lauren/glamourous-womens-perfume/similar-scents

Or if you can remember what fragrances were in it you can put it into The Perfume Parlour thingy and it will suggest similar perfumes.
