Surrender by Ciro: launched in 1932.
Fragrance Composition:
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a white floral oriental fragrance for women and was described as a light magnolia scent perfect for warmer weather. I used various samples of the parfum to create a scent profile:
- Top notes: citrus, spices, lily of the valley, neroli, honeysuckle and violet
- Middle notes: jasmine, tuberose, magnolia, carnation, iris, orange blossom, carnation, rose, heliotrope
- Base notes: vetiver, vanilla, ambergris, orris, frankincense, sandalwood, tonka bean, labdanum, oakmoss, balsam.
L'Amour de l'art, 1950:
"Surrender by Ciro: a perfume with a lulling rhythm that charms you with a delicious note based on vetiver."
Bottles:
Surrender was originally launched in a clear crystal faceted diamond shaped bottle, made by Baccarat. It was housed in a velvet, hinged presentation box that had a small mirror that sat behind the bottle, reinforcing the brilliant refraction of the faceted glass bottle. Other less expensive editions were produced by other companies and were contained in different bottles and packaging.
Fate of the Fragrance:
Discontinued. Still being sold in 1969.
