Town & Country was a line of skin treatments and cosmetics used by Helena Rubinstein as early as 1934, however by 1936, it had evolved into two separate perfumes as well.
Country, a light yet sharp and tangy chypre perfume, evoking the fresh woodlands, was made specifically to be worn with daytime apparel, tweeds and sportswear. I consider the Country fragrance to be similar in vein to Blue Grass by Elizabeth Arden and Tweed by Lentheric. There are no published notes anywhere so I am using a sample from an old bottle I had. This is what I detect.
Town, the gay, sophisticated and exotic perfume was made for fancy evening dress, chiffons, organdies, sparkling jewels and luxurious furs. There are no published notes anywhere so I am using a sample from an old bottle I had. This is what I detect. The Town fragrance was an aldehydic floral oriental. It begins with an aldehydic citrus top, followed by an opulent floral heart, layered over an animalic, powdery base.
Country Eau de Toilette as well as its counterpart Town Eau de Toilette was housed inside of a tall, skyscraper shaped bottle that has a patent date of November 9, 1937.
The perfumes were also housed in round bottles etched with town and country scenes.
