Hello and Welcome!
Please understand that this website is not affiliated with the Prince Matchabelli Company any way, it is only a reference page for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by.
The main objective of this website is to chronicle the history of the Prince Matchabelli fragrances and showcase the bottles and advertising used throughout the years.
However, one of the other goals of this website is to show the present owners of the Prince Matchabelli perfume company how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances!
Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table), who knows, perhaps someone from the current Prince Matchabelli brand might see it.
Also, this website is a labor of love, it is a work in progress and is always being updated with new information as I can find it, so check back often!
In 1975, Prince Matchabelli launched his Cachet perfume inside of a piece of wearable jewelry, a pewter Art Deco styled locket decorated with black enamel in a chevron pattern.
McCall's, 1975:
"Lauder also fills fashionable silvery bean pendants with Estee Solid Perfume ($15). And Prince Matchabelli makes two pendants— a silver-plated Aztec dragon and a pewter-and-blue-enamel Art Deco design— with Cachet solid perfume."
Stradivari by Matchabelli: launched in 1942, it was the first perfume the company had released since WWII started. It was named after the Prince Matchabelli Orchestra that was formed in 1942.
Prince Matchabelli "Crownstick" Lipstick, made up of brass and stands 2-1/2" tall. It is topped by a realistic crown replica with a tiny cross on top, similar to the design of their perfume bottles. The name "Prince Matchabelli" is engraved in script wraps around the body of the lipstick.
Stage, Volume 13, 1935:
"Prince Matchabelli's new Crownstick (it sports the famous M'atchabelli crown for a top) comes in several fine colors."
Royal Gardenia by Prince Matchabelli: launched in 1930.
