Bombi's Black Magic fragrance launched in 1945 and involved the Emporium Department Store in San Francisco who had printers mix Black Magic perfume with the ink for their full-page perfume ad. As a result, Emporium sold out of its stock of Black Magic in less than a day.
This Floriental fragrance was in production for about 20 years. Their advertising theme revolved around bewitchery and their perfume bottles displayed a black design of a cauldron brewing over an open fire with a plume of smoke rising into the air. One of Bombi's ads shows a spider web and the wording "Bewitchery in perfume" and another read "Magnetic as midnight. Prophetic as a quickened pulse."
Black Magic has been discontinued since the 1960s.
We are decanting from an unopened, boxed bottle of the original cologne version of the fragrance.
