Fragrance Composition:
So what does it smell like? It is a floral woody oriental fragrance for women with a delightful chypre base. There are no published notes on this composition so I am using a vintage 1950s perfume nip to complete the fragrance profile.
- Top notes: aldehydes, bergamot, lily of the valley, hyacinth, rose geranium
- Middle notes: spices, lilac, Bulgarian rose, jasmine, ylang ylang
- Base notes: musk, benzoin, cedar, oak moss, civet, sandalwood, ambergris, vetiver, patchouli
I applied some drops to the back of my hand and also on a piece of paper towel. On the skin, a very demure, but soapy floral is dominated by a fuzzy embrace of oakmoss and musk. Slight spices and a delicate powdery base with just a hint of sweetness.
On paper, the sweetness of the benzoin and the jasmine have more intensity and the chypre accord is sharper.
Fate of the Fragrance:
Discontinued, date unknown. Still being sold in 1961.
