<a name='more'></a>Originally a fragrance by Germaine Monteil, launched in 1940. The creation of the perfume took eight year to complete. It was reformulated in 1950 to make it "make it brisker" and "brighter" and was rechristened Rigolade (pronounced REE-GO-LAHD), you may find some labels marked with both names: Laughter (Rigolade). It was then changed to a light, fruity floral fragrance for women.<br />
<br />
<br />
Relaunched in 1983. Last saw ads for 1985.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Fragrance Composition:</u></h3>
<br />
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a fresh, crisp floral fragrance for women. It starts off with a fresh green top note, followed by a light, green floral heart, layered over a powdery base.<br />
<ul>
<li>Top notes: bergamot, hyacinth, mirabelle, peach, lemon, galbanum</li>
<li>Middle notes: lily of the valley, jasmine, rose, carnation, ylang ylang, orris, orchid</li>
<li>Base notes: vetiver, balsam, spices, amber, oakmoss, civet, sandalwood, musk, patchouli</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
In 1967, the British-American Tobacco Company, LTD acquired such names as Yardley of London, Morny, Scandia, Germaine Monteil, and Tuvache for $60-million. These brands were lumped into a subsidiary British American Cosmetics (BAC), selling in more than one hundred and forty countries, with local manufacture in thirty-four countries. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 1975, Laughter was being sold under the Tuvache name, and newspapers advertised this as a new scent, described as "free spirited blend of vibrant green notes, light florals and spices.". I believe that this was mainly for the American market, where Tuvache was a well known brand at the time. I also think that the one sold under the Yardley name was to be sold mainly to the United Kingdom and Australian markets, where Yardley was a respected name. The Laughter perfume sold under Tuvache brand was discontinued in 1978.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 1979, Beecham Cosmetics purchased Jovan, Yardley of London, Vitabath and other, more obscure brands such as Lentheric and Tuvache. In 1984, the perfume Laughter was handled by the Beecham name, but still under the Yardley of London parent company. <br />
<br />
This version was discontinued after some time. It was reintroduced as a new fragrance around 2015. </div>

<u>Fragrance Composition:</u></h3>
<br />
So what does it smell like? There is no information on it's composition, therefore I am going to assume Paquerettes was a floral bouquet odor as the name means "daisy" and the bottle's stopper is molded with daisies.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, the daisy was part of secret code called the Language of Flowers, here are some of the "meanings" for daisies:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Daisy, Garden—I share your feelings.</li>
<li>Daisy, Michaelmas—Farewell.</li>
<li>Daisy, Red—Beauty unknown to possessor.</li>
<li>Daisy, White—Innocence.</li>
<li>Daisy, Wild—I will think of it.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Bottle:</u></h3>
<br />
The exquisite flacon used for Paquerettes was made by Rene Lalique in 1913. The bottle is a plain clear triangular body with nearly circular tiara stopper decorated with daisies with stems emanating from the tiara stem emulating a vase of flowers. The bottle stands 3.75" tall and has a cellophane label on the front. It was housed in a presentation box covered in orange paper. This appears to be the only bottle style used for the perfume as I have not found another.<br />

It was created especially to be worn with tweeds and sports clothing. I had a very small sample of this fragrance many years ago and wrote down what notes I thought I could detect. It was similar to Lentheric's original Tweed fragrance.</p><p style="text-align: left;">When applied in the skin, I found that it had a muted citrus top, which I supposed had degraded over the years but was probably a lot brighter when new, similar to a classic cologne. The geranium, rose and lavender blend was very pronounced in my case. A bittersweet note from mixed herbs and a trace of pungency from carnation, was layered over forest-like mosses, dry grasses such as vetiver and precious woods. The deeply, warm animalic notes from civet, ambergris and leather made it ideal for men's use as well. But, a touch of sweetness from jasmine, orange blossom, and balsamic notes of benzoin and vanilla helped temper it from becoming too masculine.</p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Top notes: aldehyde, bergamot, neroli, geranium, lemon, herbs</li><li>Middle notes: honey, rose, jasmine, carnation, orris, lavender, orange blossom</li><li>Base notes: cedar, sandalwood, ambergris, musk, oakmoss, labdanum, tonka bean, civet, styrax, leather, vetiver, vanilla, benzoin, patchouli</li></ul><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><u>Bottles:</u></h3><p style="text-align: left;">Chanel No. 55 was housed in the standard Chanel crystal flacon used for other fragrances. The 1929 ad below states that Chanel No.55 was available in five sizes and the other ad below mentioned that Chane. No. 55 may also be had in lipstick, face powder, rouge, toilet water or cream, but I have never seen them in this scent.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEiObC-06LUlJO_GqmJa3SZVLbhvTJ6t7s5eV0GL6La2vNx9nVIgPnOywWYWQqJe1nFRi3oXooV9o0L5VoRsz3lVlgiFDy3Vengp9jkvcOLnlm5zw7IUCNlV0pwz7dhKutYAKuSgU62Fel/s546/cb.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="324" data-original-width="546" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEiObC-06LUlJO_GqmJa3SZVLbhvTJ6t7s5eV0GL6La2vNx9nVIgPnOywWYWQqJe1nFRi3oXooV9o0L5VoRsz3lVlgiFDy3Vengp9jkvcOLnlm5zw7IUCNlV0pwz7dhKutYAKuSgU62Fel/s16000/cb.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>"All Paris has a passion for the lucky numbers, whether it's 21 on the Roulette wheel, or No. 5 Rue de la Paix, a smart cafe, or No. 55, the latest couturiere [sic] perfume.

So, when the first woman smart played Chanel No. 55 with her swagger tweed costume, lunching at the Ritz in Paris, she received these amazing complimentary returns:<div><br /><div>"What a deliciously provocative perfume , for it endows you with sorcery of a wood-nymph and is just the right weight for tweeds.

<br />
<br />
<!--more-->The Lima Gazette, 1922:<br />"Here are some of the beauty tricks with the perfume bottle that have lately been cabled over from Paris. These hints come from Monsieur Luyna, to whom sich great ladies as Princess de Faucigny-Lucinge, Princess Troubetzkoy and Comtesse Jean de Lubersac go for beauty secrets. For over a hundred years his family had made the perfume which bears his name. "Discretion is the better part of perfume," he said. "The Parisienne whose ancestors hang on the walls of the Louvre has a thousand wiles for its use. Her supreme aim is to make her perfumed fragrance so ethereal, so delicate, that it seems a part of her being, not applied from the outside. For instance, the American ladies dash on perfume often in generous doses at the last minute when dressing. Such a crude practice will ruin the most perfect fragrance! Perfume must be placed upon your gown two or three hours before dressing. Good perfume attains additional charm and mellowness if thus used. " French women often pour a bit of perfume on blotting paper. This is placed under their personal belonging, such as fans, gloves, handkerchiefs. Indirect methods of perfuming such as these are more entrancing than when directly placed on the article or fabric itself." Another trick which is new to Americans is the use of bits of cotton. On these wee cotton balls a drop of perfume is placed. Then they are tucked in dozen places around one's belongings: in one's glove, in the corsage, in the handbag, in the crown of the hat, in the pocket of one's wrap. Instead of the overpowering effect of an overdose on a perfumed handkerchief, the result is a puzzlingly faint fragrance that delicately arises from a half dozen sources. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">"When the American woman realizes the importance of her perfume, there will be fewer divorces, " My Luyna states."To be alluring," he continues, "you must accent only certain characteristics with your perfumes, those which make you different from Mary Smith or Hattie Jones. The dark-eyes, sophisticated woman, indolent in her movements and eager with her eye, in other words, our old friend, the vamp, needs a heavy, penetrating fragrance to complete her score. The fair, bouyant type, suggesting radiant health, would be incongruous with sandalwood and jasmine. Her choice should be the ever so delicate fragrance of windswept garden or a May bouquet. The gentlewoman with the serene countenance would find the pale white iris her floral counterpart, and its fragrance would accentuate her type." </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">"The French woman," says M. Luyna, "puts a drop behind each ear and a drop in the fur that nestles against her cheek. She perfumes her handbag and her fan, the lining of her hat and the pocket of her coat rather than her frock. She puts tiny balls of cotton, scented, in her clothing and among her accessories. In this subtle way, she makes the fragrance seem a part of herself, not something applied from the outside.""<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><u>

So what does it smell like? It is classified as a fruity aromatic chypre fragrance for women with a sweet woodsy base. made up of 52 individual essences.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Top notes: aldehydes, bergamot and peach</li>
<li>Middle notes: herbs, labdanum, heliotrope, tuberose, cherry liqueur and plum</li>
<li>Base notes: sandalwood, suede, oakmoss, patchouli, vanilla, vetiver, amber</li>

Such a complicated dosage does not make it easy to discern the dominant note of this new very Couture scent. Besides, what's the point of trying to recognize it? Isn't it enough to use it with pleasure and success? Canasta adds to the new color the appeal of an ultra-modern, warm and persistent aroma."</i></blockquote></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Combat, 1952:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i></i><blockquote><i>"Fifty-two - it takes fifty-two weeks to make a year and God knows it flies by! It takes seventy-two cards to seduce luck and nothing is more fickle!...It took fifty-two different essences for Jacques Fath to create an atmosphere, an elite atmosphere, of true refinement, of subtlety. elegance. This complex is called "Canasta" and it is a brilliant, modern, unexpected perfume whose style flourishes in the revelation of particularly new scents. The favor he found, from the outset, with the most difficult women, the most picky about the quality of the perfumes they use, is sufficient proof that with "Canasta" Jacques Fath plays and wins."</i></blockquote></div>

<u>The Fate of the Fragrance:</u></h3>
<br />
Discontinued, date unknown. During WWII, importations of Lancome fragrances such as Tropiques, Tendres Nuit, Fleches, Cuir, Conquete, Bocages, Peut Etre, and Kypre were halted and did not return to US soil until 1946. Still being sold in 1952.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span>The perfume was reformulated by Nathalie Lorson who added notes of white musk and balms and relaunched in 2008 as</span> a 50ml Eau de Parfum, and added to the La Collection, which is devoted to old and famous Lancome's scents which were discontinued. Unfortunately this version was discontinued by 2010.<br />

<br />
Poetic words about the fragrance from the Lancome site:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Alone in her beloved French garden, a woman wanders among roses, lilac, iris and jasmine. She is thinking of him, knowing that he loves her but hoping he will soon show her a sign that will banish all her doubts. A breeze arises and strokes her skin, carrying fragrant petals softly into her hair. She closes her eyes and lets the aura of the garden envelop her senses. She hears footsteps, opens her eyes and looks into his. She sees a new and special intensity in his gaze. And is something hidden in his hand? The moment is electric. Something important is going to happen…peut-être…perhaps". </i></blockquote>

Reformulated version:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">

<li>Middle notes: iris and Bulgarian rose</li>

<i>"Balenciaga's Le Dix is in the inviting fruit-and-flowers tradition of Rochas' Femme (q.v.), but he's also come up with La Fuite des Heures, which is woodier, odd and elfin. These two are at Saks Fifth Avenue."</i></blockquote>

Armand Petitjean, creator of the perfume explains:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span class="goog-text-highlight">"</span></i><i> Bocages is a fragrant array of spring. It exudes the smell of a tender bud, the sap rising, shrubs just beginning to bring the light and color of the mist ...</i><i><span> The freshness and relaxed style of Bocages is perfect for younger women and will seduce Swedes, Norwegians, Belgians, Germans, and the women of northern France."</span></i></blockquote><p><br /></p><p> Paris-Alger, 1935:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><blockquote><i>"Lancome...These five new scents are: </i>Kypre<i>, velvety and flowery, deeper than ordinary chypre; </i>Tendres Nuits<i>, whose sweetness of exotic fruits surprises with a lavender opening; </i>Bocages<i>, scent of blonde, young and laughing, whose honeysuckle seems to emerge from a double base of jasmine and mimosa; </i>Conquête<i>, an aroma of intimate luxury, of the same inspiration as Chanel's 5, although the smell is different; </i>Tropiques<i>, which is exhaled in surprises, like a warm symphony in which the brilliance of the brass surprises."</i></blockquote></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">Times Colonist, 1946:</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><blockquote><i>"The sap of young shoots and dewy buds, faint traces of lily of the valley, gusts of lilac and the air heavy with the sharp and slightly heady scent of the tiny honeysuckle with its creamy brown flecked blossoms. Charming, youthful, with a tough of the languor which accompanies the first days of spring."</i></blockquote></div></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Combat, 1954:</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><blockquote><i>"Eau parfumee a Bocages de Lancome: it's a spring breeze that brings this scent, after having razed the woods, by picking honeysuckle, the gardens by stripping the geraniums, after having made the linden trees in bloom and to be torn by the fragrant claws of hawthorn and acacia. A little pepper also lurked in the blue silence, split by a swift. And the Parisienne on vacation, lying flat on her stomach in the thick grass and the bocage shadow, shuddered for no reason."</i></blockquote></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Combat, 1955:</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><blockquote><i>"Honeysuckle, freshened by the green smell of lilac, the fine aroma of honeysuckle, which points its ivory teeth in the forests, is similar to the scent of Chinese gardenia.

<h3>
<u>The Fate of the Fragrance:</u></h3>
<br />
Discontinued, date unknown. During WWII, importations of Lancome fragrances such as Tropiques, Tendres Nuit, Fleches, Cuir, Conquete, Bocages, Peut Etre, and Kypre were halted and did not return to US soil until 1946. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span><p>A 1946 newspaper ad stated that "The first envoy of the French perfume industry arrived in America a short time ago. Mme. Elsi Cramer, a representative for Lancome, had much to say about American women and the subject of perfume. Madame claims that the American woman chooses many scents but never really tries to discover anything about perfume bases, the floral mixtures, or how the perfume is packaged. She is primarily interested in which scent will last the longest. Mme. Cramer declares that no one should ask that of any perfume! Instead, she says, that by carrying a small vial of your favorite perfume and dabbing on a few drops once of twice during the course of the evening, you will find that your perfume will achieve its purpose of being fresh and 'just put on.' </p><p>Tropiques, Fleches, Cuir, Kypre, Conquete, Qui Sait (pronounced key-say, Who Knows?) and Bocages are the newest perfumes in her line. The artistic packaging and the bottles themselves have been perfected after many long years of searching for the right thing.</p><p>American women once again may thrill to the wonderful French perfumes. And Mme. Cramer said that the formulas for these very same scents were closely guarded during the German occupation of France. So the return of French perfumes to the American market should mean a little more than just a comment of "oh, some more sweet smelling stuff has just arrived!" Taken into account should be the hard work, the scarcity of materials to work with and the hardships endured during the period when France was subjugated. Your perfume will mean much more to you when you think of those things."</p></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span>Still being sold in 1956.</span><br />

They brought Maurice (Mauricio), his two brothers, Albert (Alberto) and Isaac and three sisters, Zelda, Sally and Bienbenuta (Betty). The Habifs stopped in Havana to wait until their immigration quota numbers could be cleared and issued to them by the American consul. However, they decided to stay in Cuba and as soon as they arrived, they all took jobs to support the family. A fourth sister, Sarita, was born in Cuba.</p><p>Maurice earned $5 a week working in a local store. Because, he learned English at night school in Havana, he was advised to sell beads and trinkets to passengers disembarking for a day's stopover during their Caribbean cruises. He was soon making ten, twenty then forty dollars a day selling beads to American tourists. </p><p>Maurice said that he was born in Turkey, was educated in Paris, moved to the United States in 1928 via Cuba and in 1929, at the age of 16, he was already selling novelties to American sailors at Guantanamo Bay at the rate of $4,000 in two weeks! According to an inflation calculator, that same amount of money is equal to $71,753.45 in 2023, absolutely insane to think he was earning that much money at that period in time.</p><p>He thought he was rich until some of his American friends invited him to a swinging afternoon cocktail party at the posh Sevilla Biltmore. His first taste of the good life hooked him. He relished at the thought of wearing fine clothes, eating gourmet foods and drinking only the rarest of wines. Plus the hobnobbing with the most interesting of folks from the upper crust of society appealed greatly to him. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><u>The French Doll:</u></h3><p><br /></p><p>The two Habif brothers found that the climate of Cuba, as well as its natural agricultural and economic resources would provide a means of obtaining wealth for the immigrant family. They thought of various ways to make money and settled on opening a novelty shop which would cater to the island's burgeoning tourist trade. Maurice and his brother Alberto started off their new venture with no more than a couple hundred dollars and rented a novelty shop next door to Sloppy Joe's bar and called it "The French Doll." Soon enough, it became a family business as Maurice partnered with his father, brothers, sisters and brothers-in-law. Maurice and Alberto then opened three other shops, at the Hotel Nacional and two at the Sevilla Biltmore. </p><p>The company also exported and retailed at their manufacturing plant. However, it wasn't just perfume and cologne that made the store a success. It also retailed leather goods and souvenir trinkets made of native shells, mahogany, cedar and tortoiseshell, all made by Fibah. "I am the biggest alligator manufacturer of them all," said Maurice. "I use 300 alligators a month for leather. I am known to the government of Batista (Col. Fulgencio Batisto). To be my guests in Havana cost no one a dime. If, however, some one desires to buy perfume or novelties, I have everything for them to buy. And then again, they send their friends when their friends come to Havana."</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtsjPGWHI-3FD_A4IPPxEOlhJOOznwTtYewkcakTgKMUHKR380agpgKgUfPVkqJfcrgNi232aURPYWROUFJ-cwxqdqhN3LcZHEg9Okwg8ILR7gjfbuqxod2prk2aKhlStfHfZqrQkHUrTUNWL-0QnX54e7mwLkgnhLlDn-NOX4JMQdOUjZqnbA3xjwsL-3/s1600/fib99.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1036" data-original-width="1600" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtsjPGWHI-3FD_A4IPPxEOlhJOOznwTtYewkcakTgKMUHKR380agpgKgUfPVkqJfcrgNi232aURPYWROUFJ-cwxqdqhN3LcZHEg9Okwg8ILR7gjfbuqxod2prk2aKhlStfHfZqrQkHUrTUNWL-0QnX54e7mwLkgnhLlDn-NOX4JMQdOUjZqnbA3xjwsL-3/w640-h414/fib99.jpg" width="640" /></a></p><p>In 1940, Maurice was asked if thought the war would have any serious affect on that year's upcoming tourist season. At first he replied a momentous, "No!" but optimistically acknowledged saying "Of course the blow of war has stunned us all temporarily. But it will pass and things will go on as usual, perhaps a bit more hilariously in Cuba about the coming season."</p><p>In 1941, Maurice told a reporter that Cuba was getting quite serious about the war, saying that the islanders sort of expected the United States would build military highways and plane bases in Cuba. He also said that war conditions made it nearly impossible to obtain French perfumes without paying premium prices. Worried that his customers would no longer be able to get the perfumes his shops were so famous for, he formed a pool which purchased no less than $2,000,000 worth of the best perfumes in all France. Now, all his shops were fully stocked with French perfumes which the tourists could purchase at costs far below what they brought back home in America. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiagdmwQSA9vN5ZOLBa0EBH5G5IDqfHsEj_bD-K_NOOrfdXcyWPzqpM_GNDbEOwL4yn5HJK_eYpnf6Fjsw94RzfwPVaPQiEBIfq0-vVPnMIBkBLHgh52TcH1XuB-daz7lPtq3AzTOBUVOqMyd7-h_FUWwIuQs1AgSAPGFUpotneD77xCUJY2vYeCH3vZVoS/s782/The_Southern_Jewish_Weekly_1941_03_28_page_5.jpg" style="font-size: 18.72px; font-weight: 700; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="393" data-original-width="782" height="161" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiagdmwQSA9vN5ZOLBa0EBH5G5IDqfHsEj_bD-K_NOOrfdXcyWPzqpM_GNDbEOwL4yn5HJK_eYpnf6Fjsw94RzfwPVaPQiEBIfq0-vVPnMIBkBLHgh52TcH1XuB-daz7lPtq3AzTOBUVOqMyd7-h_FUWwIuQs1AgSAPGFUpotneD77xCUJY2vYeCH3vZVoS/s320/The_Southern_Jewish_Weekly_1941_03_28_page_5.jpg" width="320" /></a></p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><u>Parfumerie Fibah:</u></h3><p>In 1942, Maurice told reporters that a company had been formed in Havana which had purchased large quantities of perfume oil and powder from Switzerland. Other ingredients were purchased in the United States and within three months the Cuban perfume industry would be ready to fill orders. Maurice said that the demand in America "may make this a million-dollar business." This was when Perfumeria Fibah made its debut. The name Fibah is simply Habif spelled backwards. In the following year, the firm launched its own brand of perfume: Intermezzo. Rather than rely on already made European perfumes, he would manufacture his own.</p><p>Perfume manufacturing was a top idea since Cuba already had its own source of alcohol, which they manufactured from sugar cane. The natural plant life provided some of the extracts that were to be used in the perfume making process. Other extracts and ingredients were imported from Europe. Cuba's neighbor, Haiti, provided the aromatic grass, vetiver, which was used as a fixative. Bottles came from America, most notably from the Carr-Lowrey Glass Co. Boxes for the perfumes were hand made from locally procured woods including rosewood, cedar and mahogany which grow in forests throughout Cuba.</p><p>The Habif brothers purchased the Chateau Madrid, a former nightclub, which they turned into a 14-acre "finca" (estate) with a restaurant, novelty shops, private zoo, exhibition farm, and a perfume factory that supplied the Fibah perfume, cologne, face powder and makeup kits throughout all the provinces of Cuba. Visitors to the property were greeted by peacocks strutting the luxurious grounds, while sweet faced girls - the guides, led the tourists on a tour of the premises which included goldfish fountains, lush gardens full of delicate, exotic orchids and other tropical flowers. In the perfume factory the guides explained the process of each department. The gift shop had a thatched roof with eight royal palm trees that grew in the store and soared gracefully through the roof and up into the sky.</p><p>Remember when I mentioned that The French Doll store was situated next to Sloppy Joe's bar? Well a funny little story goes that a visiting reporter visiting the island stopped in at Sloppy Joe's bar, where he noticed that there were more people in the perfume shop than in the bar at that moment. The reporter commented to Maurice about it. Since that time, The French Doll business cards had been changed to read "Sloppy Joe is next door to us," instead of 'Next door to Sloppy Joe's."</p><p>In 1947, during an interview, Maurice said that his factory had been conducting experiments at the plant which might prove important to Cuba's perfume industry. He explained that they started because essential oils from Europe (mainly France and Italy) as well as the Orient had become very scarce during the war and were still available only in "dribbles." As a result, Maurice asked H.S. Scott of New York to be the general consultant for Fibah. Scott spent twelve years prior working in Bermuda before heading to Cuba. </p><p>"We are making extractions of every indigenous plant that has aromatic qualities, and introducing others," said Scott. "We want to be able to go to farmers and say, 'If you will grow so many acres of this or that, it will produce so much, and we will buy it from you.'" Scott believed that such farming would strengthen Cuba's economic structure, long based on two crops - sugar and tobacco. As a result, an experimental farm was set up in the grounds surrounding the factory. It was here that nearly every kind of tree, shrub, fruit and flower that was native to Cuba was planted for use in the perfume factory.</p><p>Scott stated that the factory's laboratory was open to students at the University of Havana for doing thesis work, with room for about half a dozen at the time and more later. He also said that Maurice was working with the Cuban government officials and the University of havana on a plan to award one scholarship annually, starting the following year, to give a Cuban student a year's study in the United States. "The scholarship need not be used for study of aromatics," said Scott, "It will be for anything to promote agriculture in Cuba."</p><p>By 1955, Fibah sold to more than 1000 domestic outlets in Cuba and was looking to export its products.</p><p>Miami Herald, 1955:</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><blockquote><i>"Men's cologne is big business in this Cuban capital. And this fragrant liquid isn't the mild after shave lotion American men know. Habaneros buy about one fourth of the bottles of cologne sold in the city. "And the women's cologne come in smaller bottles," said a perfume manufacturer..."Only the old man uses lavender here," said a Havana resident. And pine scent is used "only to clean the floors." But lemongrass! Ah, that's the basis of a favorite Habaneros' cologne. It's a grass slightly wider than a Bermuda grass blade and much longer. It has a fresh citron odor which Cuban men admire. Another basis for men's cologne here is tobacco leaf. That has a sweeter aroma, a yellower color...Properly worn, Havana style, cologne is patted on the face much as after shave lotion is in the States. Then a little is applied to the handkerchief which is tucked in the coat breast pocket. Maurice Habif, an owner of Fibah perfume manufacturers which spread out over 14 acres called by the former nightclub name, "Chateau Madrid," estimates that he sells 65,000 bottles of men's cologne a year. He also sells about 60,000 bottles of liquid brilliantine during a 12-month span. It's no sissy business here. The fresh and just-scrubbed aroma which Havana men's cologne gives, means another scent for its manufacturers - that of dirty, dog-eared, but so welcome cash."</i></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

When important personages visited the island, Maurice would meet them at the dock in his car, entertained the, at the best restaurants and night clubs, arranged for their stay at the Hotel Nacional, and even lent the visitor his car and chauffeur. He proudly bragged that he spent the average of $15,000 a year just on entertaining alone, more than anyone else in Cuba. "I foot all the bills," he explained in a newspaper article in 1941. "I get, of course, discounts from the local merchants."</p><p>At the time, Maurice claimed he had entertained 20,000 visitors to the island. His guestbook boasted signatures of 16,000 names including actors, actresses, sports figures, society mavens, dignitaries and other notables. Celebrities from all over the world had visited Maurice at the French Doll, and whether they were celebrities or not, if anyone showed up with a letter of recommendation, Maurice immediately placed his car and chauffeur at their disposal for their stay in Havana. Maurice, everyone on the island called him by his first name, revealed that each one of his guests is a friend he can call up at a moment's notice. Maurice himself traveled to America periodically to promote the store and the perfumes as well as make new friends. In 1941, he told a reporter that he figured he had 20,000 friends in the United States.</p><p>New York newspapers affectionately dubbed Maurice "Cuba's Grover Whalen." His response to the nickname was generally, "Who is this fellow Whalen? I never heard of him." When it was explained to him that Whalen was the official greeter for New York, who turned over the keys to the city to visitors, Maurice scoffed saying, "Humph. Mr. Whalen, you say, gives away the keys of the city. Why I turn over the city to my guests. Maybe this Grover Whalen is the Maurice of New York, eh?" </p><p>Nevertheless, he admitted that his lavish hospitality was not purely philanthropic. He admitted he started playing host to visitors merely as a gesture of good business to meet them and coax them in his stores. The Batista government soon took him under its wing and made him the country's official host as head of the Cuban tourist commission. He grandly proclaimed that he owned "the biggest perfume and novelty store on the island," a store which took in $200,000 per year. According to an inflation calculator, the equivalent in 2023, is $3,958,012.90.</p><p>In 1946, Maurice, acting on behalf of the Cuban Tourist Commission and accompanied by Capt. Juan Camejo, aide to the chief of the national police, were guests at a luncheon given by the City of Miami. The Cubans presented cigars to the mayors in the Miami area. Also in attendance was the president of the Cuban-Miami-Mexico commission as well as numerous police chiefs, inspectors and commissioners. At the luncheon, Maurice was honored with a gold badge as an honorary citizen of Miami for recognition of his interest in Miami residents visiting Havana.</p><p> </p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><u>End of an Era:</u></h3><p><br /></p><p>When Castro came to power in Cuba a few years back, Maurice and Alberto had the largest perfume business on the island and employed close to 1100 people. All that changed, however, under the "liberator," and Habifs were forced to flee Cuba in 1961.They set up shop in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico, where he had built Perfumeria Fibah into the largest perfume house there.</p><p>Maurice Habif, "Mr. Havana," died suddenly in Puerto Rico in 1966.</p><p></p><p>Ruben-Mendoza-Caveda, commenting on a post on the Collector's Weekly site, said: "Ruben Caveda Eijo was the Chief Perfumist/Developer at FIBAH from 1950 until the company was taken by Fidel Castro's regime in 1961. While the company was founded in the 1920's by the elder Habif (FIBAH is his name backwards) it wasn't until 1950 that the son of the owner Mauricio Habif took over and hired my grandfather who was a young Cuban chemist specialized in perfumes development. He used to work at the famous Augustin Reyes factory but Mauricio Habif offered him the opportunity to be in charge of fragrance development. The factory was located at a beautiful estate just outside Havana named Chateau Madrid surrounded by beautiful gardens with peacocks running around. The younger Mr. Habif's idea was to transform the factory into a touristic destination with store, snacks bar and some other amenities so tourists could spend the day there and purchase the items as gifts to take with them. </p><p>My grandfather created [the perfumes] Intermezzo and Chateau Madrid which were launched in the beginnings of the 1950's. He also created MH, a fragrance for women that was branded using Mauricio's initials. </p><p>There are two other cheap brands developed by my grandfather during the latest years of the 1950's: Clavelito and Riviera... that was the result of essential oils damaged by a sabotage perpetrated by one of my grandfather's assistants. The guy injected acid to the oils and the damage was valued at $14,000 USD (a lot of money in 1957). My grandfather convinced Mauricio to drop the charges against his assistant because he didn't want him to go to prison, so he commit to salvage the oils and launch a cheap type of cologne, enlisting Clavelito, who was a Cuban radio personality who had a show about spiritual stuff and kind of a psych[ic]. Clavelito was the spokesperson for Riviera first, and then asked my grandfather to create a cologne using Basil, using his name, so he could benefit himself with the promotion. My father found out later that the sabotage was actually directed against him, because the perp was envious about his lifestyle, making a lot of money but spending it on books and collectible music albums rather than having a good life. </p><p>In 1961, that guy led the company nationalizing with Che Guevara and made sure my grandfather was never employed by the new communist government. They forced my grandfather to retire being just 44 years old. The guy testified he had mental problems and wasn't trustworthy to work for the revolution. He died in 1978 at 61. The Habif family for Puerto Rico and had plans to continue their work there, but my grandfather was afraid of leaving his house and memories behind so he never left. He died in Cuba. In 1955 my grandfather started using the sticks of tobacco plant as a fixative for perfumes. He was very successful doing so and received a lot of coverage from the media. After Castro's government took over, the government patented it, with no credit whatsoever to my grandfather. If anyone knows anything about the Habif family please let me know. I know some of them went to Israel and some others to Puerto Rico."</p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>GHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08581508408018361307noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878158687769524213.post-37374065429472212962024-01-05T02:50:00.000-05:002024-01-05T02:50:00.124-05:00Madeleine de Madeleine c1978<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

So what does it smell like? It is classified as a spicy floral oriental fragrance for women, it was described as "spicy, for modern women". <br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Top notes: aldehydes, citrus, clover</li>
<li>Middle notes: carnation, gardenia, rose, jasmine, carnation, spices</li>
<li>Base notes: vanilla, amber, oakmoss, musk, patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, labdanum</li>

This bottle was also used for the other early Jean Desprez perfumes: Etourdissant, Jardanel, and Votre Main. I believe this model was used during the war period as the expensive flacons were unattainable due to cost and supply restrictions. The base of the box reads "All my perfumes, regardless of the original models, are presented in the 'Practical Model.' These creations are my property and any imitator will be prosecuted in accordance with the law. Etourdissant - Votre Main - Jardanel - Grand Dame - Parfums de Jean Desprez. 17 rue de la Paix. Made in France."</div><div><br /></div><div>The bottle used for Grande Dame has a lovely paper label depicting a porcelain vase in the shape of a twisted cornucopia resting inside of an ormolu filigree stand, an ormolu Napoleonic eagle insignia is on the side. The image was probably based on an antique Sevres example.</div><div><br /></div><div>Suzanne Wolfe, the company's Paris attorney, said that Desprez got most of his inspirations from looking at priceless art works while roaming the vast halls, galleries and gardens of the Palace of Versailles, something he did every autumn. He also regularly visited the Sevres Porcelain Museum to get inspiration. Wolfe explained that when Desprez sees something he likes, he has it reproduced and used it on his Christmas cards. No doubt he did the same for his perfume labels.</div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij0MrsVKfi3D0JTnBdfHuio4yyhDYNZi_otwg44mNRXMCVKeTNr9zTYLu3OqHVowaJIvw8x4oRkXERF2c1CMSkycvyhRIVMcD1wV1PfxYeeafBBHwGmbPDHiUKYK-LNkribezkeiv5FbDmJyenB2ZvaAKpTiGMNg2QG1UymO1FeUbtEavLSn_z5RBuQoxQ/s136/gran1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="130" data-original-width="136" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij0MrsVKfi3D0JTnBdfHuio4yyhDYNZi_otwg44mNRXMCVKeTNr9zTYLu3OqHVowaJIvw8x4oRkXERF2c1CMSkycvyhRIVMcD1wV1PfxYeeafBBHwGmbPDHiUKYK-LNkribezkeiv5FbDmJyenB2ZvaAKpTiGMNg2QG1UymO1FeUbtEavLSn_z5RBuQoxQ/w320-h306/gran1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtWqemx1EYq1cl6RH_WCTE2FW-f9MhEb7hQL7RTiJ34EiTih9p9d6BOHZyp5QbgHGYPOBwC4mueRhItW6jfK2S3oPMLFTvzipvtdKKloyJ_wUmMA1v7cMsaYwyWq_iCp6RJC_S7bkIfw_bm0fXxLRHSj9p-kWLO__ukpb-WuzAWTyF_QnzbkCS_kSeZJOj/s620/gran1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="556" data-original-width="620" height="574" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtWqemx1EYq1cl6RH_WCTE2FW-f9MhEb7hQL7RTiJ34EiTih9p9d6BOHZyp5QbgHGYPOBwC4mueRhItW6jfK2S3oPMLFTvzipvtdKKloyJ_wUmMA1v7cMsaYwyWq_iCp6RJC_S7bkIfw_bm0fXxLRHSj9p-kWLO__ukpb-WuzAWTyF_QnzbkCS_kSeZJOj/w640-h574/gran1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjusvKnP2J8aVe62lbLgKzL7jEHpZ_SyD7GhJvx08EBb468vBCNPJ_ydx9vhtsjtv0o0d6u9MLgQcElMyHt83G1DO2yDF9c2vR5G6s0UsZHywncJW74K_vX316rcI9ZGkWAaGc3TfMLpOs7/s1600/grand.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjusvKnP2J8aVe62lbLgKzL7jEHpZ_SyD7GhJvx08EBb468vBCNPJ_ydx9vhtsjtv0o0d6u9MLgQcElMyHt83G1DO2yDF9c2vR5G6s0UsZHywncJW74K_vX316rcI9ZGkWAaGc3TfMLpOs7/s1600/grand.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />

Catalyst is classified as a fruity floral fragrance for women. The floral fragrance has top notes of jonquil and rose with mid-notes of jasmine absolute, lily of the valley, violet and herbs and bottom notes of musk, vetiver, sandalwood and patchouli.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Top notes: Bulgarian rose otto, Egyptian jasmine absolute, galbanum, jonquil, gardenia, peach, hyacinth, and Italian bergamot oil</li>
<li>Middle notes: blackcurrant bud, violet, French carnation, tuberose, French orange blossom, narcissus, orchid, chamomile, herbs, lily-of-the-valley, French orris root </li>
<li>Base notes: oakmoss, Indonesian patchouli, Bourbon vetiver, Mysore sandalwood, amber, musk, vanilla and Texan cedar</li>
</ul><div><br /></div><div>"Although it's traditionally been difficult and expensive to distill pure essence of jonquil, making it a rare basis for scent, Catalyst's perfumers mastered the process. Catalyst combines jonquil, otto of rose, tuberose, and jasmine absolute top notes with herbs, muguet, violet and chamomile mid notes. Musk, sandalwood, and vetiver blend as base notes to create a rich floral scent with an enduring character. Catalyst is linear and long-lasting," said Horner.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><u>Bottles:</u></h3><div><br /></div><div>The bottles were inspired by the silhouettes found in Halton's archives, which were donated to the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). Marc Rosen designed the bottles to have a flowing, cape-like shape. The packaging is reminiscent of Halston's signature black silk cape lined with fuschia. The Three bottle designs: flowing cape, gentle flare of a skirt, and a draped one-shoulder dress. "Catalyst is the interpretation of Halston's design philosophy - classic simplicity and elegance," said Horner.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVHgc8fAJ8wqLTnenCr_97GIgKFBUzWZHX4M6_vFXgSKibAzGXCom39-Pd2G1vJknRUBp075mtl0f85b9oJpKIezGdYyadU2fSpIoWg6ei8RT6gk4VIFjjOME9RpWBcngXuzXz58VB8Q55IoVEFWPpwSPP4xf2nExHW3mxMa4xB9--RzGfoHPrie9xbRAo/s1685/cat.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1685" data-original-width="1235" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVHgc8fAJ8wqLTnenCr_97GIgKFBUzWZHX4M6_vFXgSKibAzGXCom39-Pd2G1vJknRUBp075mtl0f85b9oJpKIezGdYyadU2fSpIoWg6ei8RT6gk4VIFjjOME9RpWBcngXuzXz58VB8Q55IoVEFWPpwSPP4xf2nExHW3mxMa4xB9--RzGfoHPrie9xbRAo/w469-h640/cat.jpg" width="469" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Catalyst was available in the following:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>0.125 oz Parfum mini</li><li>0.25 oz Parfum (retailed for $75)</li><li>1 oz Parfum (retailed for $250)</li><li>1.7 oz Eau de Toilette Spray (retailed for $38.50)</li><li>3.4 oz Eau de Toilette Spray (retailed for $55)</li><li>3.4 oz Body Lotion</li><li>6.7 oz Body Lotion</li><li>3.4 oz Bath & Shower Gel</li><li>6.7 oz Bath & Shower Gel</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc2VRPxFy2zEuYCEAcNDtv-F7Iq7SlsD2tE325SXo4-B5UxyYqPAR7x5LJq-HYvEvGgfeI2n1ensh5U0JJb98RVAWkmDxY8r6mdFfD7LuZW_1sT4NhJZHvpoTgpPw2xMaWiadEHHY56qft/s477/cat.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="477" data-original-width="348" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc2VRPxFy2zEuYCEAcNDtv-F7Iq7SlsD2tE325SXo4-B5UxyYqPAR7x5LJq-HYvEvGgfeI2n1ensh5U0JJb98RVAWkmDxY8r6mdFfD7LuZW_1sT4NhJZHvpoTgpPw2xMaWiadEHHY56qft/w466-h640/cat.jpg" width="466" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><u>Fate of the Fragrance</u></h3><br /><br />Still sold in 2010.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
