Command Performance by Helena Rubinstein: launched in 1947. Created by Jacques Jantzen, named after her first post war makeup line.
Fragrance Composition:
It is classified as an aldehydic floral woody amber fragrance for women. I would describe it as a warm, heady, sumptuous, evening perfume, with a sensual blend of spice and florals.
I just cracked up a vintage 1950s perfume nip of the fragrance, a perfect, hermetically sealed time capsule o give me a true feeling of the fragrance.
Opens with a burst of pungent green blackcurrant and fuzzy galbanum spiked with soapy aldehydes. A lush heart of jasmine, rare roses and carnation is followed by tropical ylang ylang and a hint of lily. The base is redolent of warm, sweet spiced woods and balsamic touches of vanilla, opoponax and benzoin, softened with ambergris, labdanum, tonka and musk. Oakmoss, vetiver and patchouli bring back the green note with a hint of forest verdure.
- Top notes: aldehydes, bergamot, blackcurrant, galbanum

- Base notes: opoponax, vetiver, sandalwood, ambergris, oakmoss, benzoin, vanilla, patchouli, labdanum, musk, tonka bean
