Movie: Butterfield 8 (1960)

Character: Gloria Wandrous (Elizabeth Taylor)

Fragrance: Caron Fountain Fragrance

Nose: Ernest Daltroff

 

 

 

 

 

Finding the vanity table of the wife, Gloria encounters elegant decants of fine fragrance. Due to the fact that they remain unmarked one must make an educated perfumista’s guess as to their origins. Exclusivity is the key and Caron’s storied fragrances come immediately to mind.

 

Gloria rejects the first two bottles so we must assume she found it did not find either suitably flamboyant. She settles upon the third, we think it was as smoky and sultry as her charactor, housed in a large flacon and she generously applies it to her arms. Gin breath, smoking a cigarette and Caron Tabac Blond on unbathed warm skin—all wrapped in a mink coat. One word: decadent

 

 

Everyone gets a second chance and the Lucky Winner entered our first draw.
