Windsong by Prince Matchabelli was my first "adult" fragrance--I can sing that song from memory to this day. I eventually graduated to Charlie. I'm surprised the article omitted Love's Baby Soft which, despite its name, was the first grown-up fragrance for many girls of my generation.
Hey, if Charles Revson named Charlie after himself and had a huge hit, who's to say his son can't do the same with Jontue?
Everybody, apparently.
I did have a bottle of Hai Karate which lasted for several years.
The commercial I liked was a Christmastime ad for Chanel No. 5, I think. While the Ink Spots sing, "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" a person dives into a pool and a couple says, "Charles." "Catherine."
Yes! That was the first time I'd ever heard that song and went in search of it (which took a while in the pre-google days). The woman who dived into the pool was a French model/actress. Carol Bouquet?
Chanel later used Nina Simone's "My Baby Just Cares for Me" which I also sought out.

I think the tag was "Share the fantasy."

That one with the Ink Spots was great.

That was another great one.
Found it.
