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!

  1. I was given this antique bottle in it's red velvet box for Christmas 2018. I was wondering how to tell how old it was and what it was worth. Looks like it came out in 1956 and was still being sold in 1969. My bottle is in perfect condition, not chips, tag still in place, cross stopper is still in one piece, still has a smidgen of residue in it and on the lining of the box. Box has a few holes in the velvet.

  2. I have a full bottle of this incredible fragrance. I inherited it from my mother and have never opened it until today...the scent is deep and warm with floral notes. I have the original red velvet presentation box as well. I was going to sell it but after wearing just a tiny dab on my wrist I have changed my mind. It is very sexy also..
