A little history...
Alisma was a popular nineteenth-century hair preparation sold by Seward & Bentley, a Buffalo, New York, firm operated by Stephen B. Seward and Burr S. Bentley. Working as chemists and druggists during the 1860s, the partners manufactured and marketed an assortment of perfumes, toiletries, and patent medicines. Alisma—advertised as “Pure and Fragrant” and “the most delightful of perfumes”—was introduced around 1868 and sold in distinctively embossed glass bottles. The company also became known for products such as Constitution Bitters and Seward’s Cough Cure.
Like many early drug businesses, the company underwent several changes in partnership and name. Seward & Bentley was succeeded by Seward, Bentley & Cheney, while Alisma was later offered by Daniel Seward & Co. Advertisements helped distribute the product beyond Buffalo, and Alisma remained in commercial catalogs as late as 1896—an impressive lifespan for a Victorian-era toiletry. Today, surviving Alisma bottles and labels provide a fascinating reminder of the period when local chemists created their own branded medicines, fragrances, and personal-care products for a rapidly expanding national market.
