Doux Jasmin by Ciro c1923

Doux Jasmin by Ciro: launched in 1923. Parfums Ciro was founded in 1921 in New York, at first obtaining all its fragrances from Gabilla in Paris, already bottled. These included 'Doux Jasmin', 'Chevalier de la Nuit' and 'Maskee', all issued in 1923.




Doux Jasmin was available in the following:

  • Dusting Powder
  • Eau de Ciro
  • Eau de Toilette 
  • Parfum

Fragrance Composition:


So what does it smell like? It was a very sweet jasmine soliflore perfume with a strong top note, but faded rather quickly.



Hearst's, 1929:
"For well she knows that Memory is woven about the elusive things of life ... a strain of music — an enticing perfume. Such a perfume is Ciro's DOUX JASMIN . . . fresh, enduring— ardent as young love — scintillant as the bursting blossoms of Spring. With it, one may weld the silver chain that binds the flying feet of memory. With it, one may find a fragrant way to say Remember Me. ... Doux Jasmin Face Powder in Apritan shade, lends the true Continental sun-bronzed hue."


Drug and Cosmetic Industry, 1937:
"Ciro of Paris presents the flower pot shaped Poudre de Toilette in three floral odors: Gardenia Sauvage, Doux Jasmin, and Camelia du Maroc."

Harper's Bazaar, 1958:
"Jasmine captured at its freshest — that's Ciro's "Doux Jasmin" Esscent. 2 oz., $2.50."


Esquire, 1959:
"Ciro Spray Mist enfolds her. Each Ciro Mist is an exact fragrance duplicate of one of the great Ciro perfumes, beloved by fashionable women the world over. . . Danger, Surrender, Reflexions, New Horizons, Ricochet, Doux Jasmin."
