Mink and Pearls by Jovan c1968

"Luxury beyond expectation...without furs, without jewels, you could be in Mink & Pearls.."

Jovan introduced Mink and Pearls in 1968. In its advertisements, it was touted as the most luxurious fragrance ever blended and Jovan claimed it had a secret "narcotic, floral note" hidden deep inside which was probably the tuberose. The perfume was meant to change with the wearer's chemistry to produce an individualistic scent.

"You could wear it for a thousand nights and never repeat the same emotions."
