Bottles:

Anderson Daily Bulletin, 1954:

 "Mistigri meaning cat, as well as Jack of Clubs, is delightfully packages like a deck of cards with a very feminine, sophisticated cat on the side, and the Jack of Clubs on the other. Mistigri, a Cat as legendary in France as the leprechaun is in Ireland, is gay, debonair, playful, a little mischievous,but also feline, feminine, a bit deceitful and fiery on occasion. The spirit of Mistigri is in every whiff of Jacques Griffe's new perfume. Its scent will impart gaiety, wit and happiness."

The New Yorker, 1955:

"Jacques Griffe's spicy Mistigri is now around in an eau de toilette; $5.50 for a four-and-a-quarter-ounce bottle, at Bonwit Teller and Lord & Taylor."

Fate of the Fragrance:
