Fragrance Composition:
So what does it smell like? It is classified as an aldehydic floral chypre fragrance for women. It starts off with a fresh green and fruity top, followed by a green floral heart, layered over a mossy, balsamic, woodsy chypre base. It evokes the warmth of the Provencal hills. Chypre type, fruity (citrus), green and woody perfume. Rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, mosses and herbs of Provence, musk, and ambergris. Spring-like and youthful, it stands out for its subtlety and elegance. With its carefree freshness, it is said to suit blondes particularly well. A “dressed-up” perfume, ideal for cocktails, premières, and small dinners in a hostess gown.

The New Yorker - Volume 32, 1954:
"Bourjois has put forth a little charmer called Glamour. In this one, a fillip of orange is added to the sharp, clean tang of jasmine; at Altman, $5.50 buys three-fourths of an ounce, in an oval bottle with a gold plastic cover."
