A 1983 ad introduced us to the Lady and Gambler Fragrances, a line inspired by songs made popular by Kenny Rogers:

"Millions of people have loved the song, now the song and the fragrance are united in Lady by Jovan. Here is a fragrance that lovingly expresses the same tenderness and emotion evoked by that song. Romantic and fragile, gentle as a lover’s embrace. Its soft spoken elegance whispers the fine composition of orange blossom and peach, warm jasmine, muguet, rose de mai and chypre."

Fragrance Composition:

So what does it smell like? It is classified as a floral-woody aldehyde fragrance for women. A composition of notes that include orange blossom, mandarin and marigold, apple blossom and peach, warm jasmine, lily of the valley and rose de mai and chypre.

It starts with a fruity aldehydic top, followed by a rosy floral heart, resting on a sensual balsamic base.

• Top notes: aldehydes, peach, fruity notes, green notes, mandarin, citrus, marigold, apple blossom
• Middle notes: damascena rose, orris, violet, carnation, heliotrope, tuberose, gardenia, orange blossom, jasmine, lily of the valley, rose de mai
• Base notes: cedar, benzoin, vanilla, balsam, oakmoss, sandalwood, musk, amber, patchouli

A 1983 ad reads:

"Lady cologne from Jovan. Now, love and romance are captured in a sweet fragrance. It only takes one drop to see why it's the favorite of many women."

Fate of the Fragrance:

I think the perfume was discontinued in the mid 1980s.
