Kai Sang by Corday c1924
Kai Sang by Corday: launched in 1924. The name may mean "To Be Triumphant" in Chinese.
Fragrance Composition:
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a floral oriental fragrance for women.
- Top notes: geranium, citrus accord (neroli, bergamot, lemon peel)
- Middle notes: tuberose, carnation, gardenia, spices
- Base notes: tobacco, sandalwood, amber, vanilla, patchouli, musk, civet
Bottles:
The deluxe parfum bottle is made up of opaque black glass w/enameled decoration on bottle, stopper in red, white and gold, designed by Maurice Depinoix and made by C. Depinoix et Fils.
I believe this bottle could be had in two sizes:
- Bottle measures 3" diameter x 1.5" tall.
- Bottle measures 3.25" diameter x 2.75" tall.
The non-deluxe bottle is made up of colorless molded glass in the Art Deco style.
A miniature perfume in a tapered cylindrical shape with white plastic screw cap was sold in the 1950s, and can be found in sets of assorted Corday perfumes.
Fate of the Fragrance:
Discontinued, date unknown. Still being sold in the 1950s.
