Tigress was one of the most popular scents by Faberge. It was released in 1938 but it was definitely a 1970s fragrance when Faberge also had Brut and Babe. Tigress is an oriental fougere. A gorgeously sexy amber fragrance. 

Advertising:

• 1930s or 1940s - “the perfect perfume for furs.”
• 1960s - “Wild! Is the word for the uninhibited jungle beat of Tigress Parfum Extraordinaire.”
• 1960s or 70s - “Are you wild enough to wear it? Be your uninhibited self. Live the unconventional life. Run free with Tigress. Perfume and Cologne as wild as the savage jungle." Starring Lola Falana who was apparently dubbed “The Black Tigress”

In 1979, Faberge released a flanker of Tigress called Tigress Musk. It had some of the same notes as the original Tigress but it was heavy on the musk.

By 1985 Tigress seems to have been discontinued.

We are decanting from an unopened bottle of the original parfum version of this fragrance.
