Theatre Magazine, Volume 52, 1930:
"THREE new perfumes by Prince Matchabelli will be available this month to given exotic, tropical lure to these chill autumn nights. 'Babylon', which is just a bit wicked, will counteract the naivete of a "sweet" frock. 'Princess of the Nile' is a spicy perfume appropriately garbed in a bottle shaped like a pyramid. 'Jungle Flower', my favorite of the three, has captured precisely, the luscious scent of hyacinths."
