Acclaim by Ciro c1950

Acclaim by Ciro: launched in 1950.





Fragrance Composition:



So what does it smell like? It was classified as a spicy floral forest blend fragrance for women. Woodsy-Mossy: sometimes referred to as herbal or "forest blend." A perfume from this category might contain sandalwood, rosewood, cedarwood, or balsam, perhaps combined with oak moss, fern, or other plants and herbs to attain an "outdoorsy" fragrance that is best appreciated on the wearer
  • Top notes: bergamot, pepper, cardamom, nutmeg
  • Middle notes: rose, jasmine, carnation
  • Base notes: sandalwood, oakmoss, patchouli, ambergris, musk, vetiver, cedar

Woman's Home Companion, 1950:
"Ciro's exciting new Acclaim perfume (l oz). $12.50."

Pacific Drug Review, 1950:
"ACCLAIM PERFUME Parfums Ciro, Inc. New York City, N. Y. Acclaim is the first new fragrance in nine years by this manufacturer. Packaged in bottles of classic design, priced to retail at $5."

Motion Picture, 1951:
"Perk up your lagging end-ol-winter ego with a new perfume. Lots of new ones have appeared —and must be worn to be appreciated. Acclaim, Ciro's first new perfume in years, is a beguiling fragrance destined to keep you in the limelight."
The New Yorker, 1952:
"Acclaim: She's in the spotlight, without seeking it— everything about her attracts applause and admiration. ... She certainly deserves Acclaim!, Guessing will get you nowhere! If it were ... All Ciro perfumes in several sizes."

Fate of the Fragrance:

Discontinued, date unknown.
