Breathless by Charbert c1933

Breathless by Charbert was launched in 1933.



Fragrance Composition:


Since there are no official notes listed anywhere, I will take the opportunity to use my vintage perfume nip of this scent and will tell you what notes I detect. It would be classified as a floral oriental woody fragrance for women. Similar to Tabu, but lighter with top notes of citrus, followed by a sweetened orange blossom and spice heart, resting on a powdery, woodsy amber base.
  • Top notes: aldehydes, bergamot, citrus
  • Middle notes: orange blossom, spices
  • Base notes: vanilla, vetiver, tonka, patchouli, musk, amber, balsam, resins, benzoin, labdanum


Breathless was available in the following:

  • Parfum
  • Eau de Cologne
  • Bath Powder
  • Talc
  • "Mit Me" Bath Powder Mitt






Fate of the Fragrance:


Discontinued, date unknown. Still sold in 1973.
