A quick google image search shows your bottle. Says its was advertised as early as 1822. Not sure if it is infact that old. Thats a sweet find that I would love in my collection. Congrats

Perfumery

I'm finding it Mentioned in 1794 Philadelphia
discussing a Person known as the Bears Oil Chief which may have Nothing to do with perfume but indians in that case. who used real bears oil to dip their bread in.

& 1834 as Highly Perfumed and Purified so far

and 1842 as a preperation for hair
