"Blend Ligeia with Afghani, or Chypre with Sousouki, varying the proportions or adding drops of Ming, Yasmai and Nandita, to make the fragrance different and entirely your own. Babani perfumes are on sale at the Salons of Elizabeth Arden."
"Nandita: a new Babani perfume, but just arrived from Paris. A fragrance exquisitely smart, contained in a black and gold bottle and packed in a gold box with red satin lining and quaint fastening of gold cord and button. $20."
Bottles:
Exceptional clear glass perfume bottle, with rich gilding and black enameled details. Stands 10cm tall.
