Welcome!
Welcome to my unique perfume blog! Here, you'll find detailed, encyclopedic entries about perfumes and companies, complete with facts and photos for easy research. This site is not affiliated with any perfume companies; it's a reference source for collectors and enthusiasts who cherish classic fragrances.
My goal is to highlight beloved, discontinued classics and show current brand owners the demand for their revival.
Your input is invaluable! Please share why you liked a fragrance, describe its scent, the time period you wore it, any memorable occasions, or what it reminded you of. Did a relative wear it, or did you like the bottle design? Your stories might catch the attention of brand representatives.
I regularly update posts with new information and corrections. Your contributions help keep my entries accurate and comprehensive. Please comment and share any additional information you have. Together, we can keep the legacy of classic perfumes alive!
Nandita by Babani 1925
Nandita by Babani: launched in 1925.
Fragrance Composition:
It was classified as an oriental fragrance for women. I have no other notes on this composition. I would need a sample to tell you what the rest of it smells like.
- Top notes:
- Middle notes: spices
- Base notes: ambergris, musk, vanilla
The New Yorker, 1925:
"Blend Ligeia with Afghani, or Chypre with Sousouki, varying the proportions or adding drops of Ming, Yasmai and Nandita, to make the fragrance different and entirely your own. Babani perfumes are on sale at the Salons of Elizabeth Arden."
Harper's Bazaar, 1925:
"Nandita: a new Babani perfume, but just arrived from Paris. A fragrance exquisitely smart, contained in a black and gold bottle and packed in a gold box with red satin lining and quaint fastening of gold cord and button. $20."
Bottles:
Exceptional clear glass perfume bottle, with rich gilding and black enameled details. Stands 10cm tall.
