Spring Fancy by Prince Matchabelli: launched in 1954.
So what does it smell like? Other than the fact this was a floral fragrance, I have no published notes on this composition. I would need a sample to tell you what it smells like.
American Druggist Blue Book, 1960:
Mademoiselle, 1961:
Soap, Cosmetics, Chemical Specialties, 1965:
Harper's Bazaar, Volume 99, 1966:

The goal of this website is to show the present owners of the Prince Matchabelli company how much we miss the discontinued classics such as SPRING FANCY and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back the perfume!
Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the perfume, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories), who knows, perhaps someone from the company might see it.
