Algiers was launched by Tuvache in 1940. Tuvache offered five interesting perfumes created from exotic tropical flowers found in the jungles of Algiers and Morocco which were compounded and packaged in the United States. These were promoted as "limited edition" perfumes.
Fragrance Composition:
So what does it smell like? It was a fruity floral feminine perfume. The fruits are sharp and citrusy, the flowers languid and poetic, fragile white hyacinths and narcissus and spicy carnations.
- Top notes: citrus, bergamot
- Middle notes: carnation, narcissus and white hyacinth
- Base notes: oakmoss, sandalwood, vetiver, and amber
The New Yorker, 1956:
"A new challenger in this field is Balenciaga's quaintly charming Quadrille, while Tuvache's worldly Algiers is getting increased attention from women who prefer fruit- laden perfumes."
