Tabac Blond, The Story, from Caron:
When the US arrived on the world’s political stage in 1918, Europe stared with
eyes wide open. American women proudly showed the old, astounded continent that cigarettes were
no longer the privilege of men, and that the difference between smoking room
and boudoir had been erased…
Placing those long ivory and mother-of-pearl cigarette-holders to
their lips and swathing their femininity in a typically masculine veil, became
the height of Parisian elegance.
To mark the dawn of female liberation, in 1919 CARON dared
to dedicate the deliberately provocative Tabac Blond to these beautiful free spirits. This is the Eau de Parfum
