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!

Sparkling Burgundy Bubble Bath by Prince Matchabelli c1940

Sparkling Burgundy Bubble Bath by Prince Matchabelli launched in 1940.

This bubble bath was probably inspired by Caron's Bain de Champagne, an effervescent bath additive. Sparkling Burgundy was based on the Burgundy wine. It was scented with the Prince Matchabelli fragrance Pot Pourri.




Fashions of the Hour, 1940:
"She will relax in Matchabelli's Sparkling Burgundy Bath of royal purple foam lightly scented with the fragrant Potpourri. 16 ounces."

Glass Packer, 1941:
"Wine has invaded the boudoir, as an ingredient of a novel liquid bath soap bottled by Prince Matchabelli, perfumers, of New York City. Called Sparkling Burgundy Bath, the deep-purple liquid is scented with Potpourri fragrance; a teaspoon whips up to a foam of iridescent bubbles Product comes in a four ounce flacon embossed with stars and the Matchabelli crown."
