La Rose Gullistan by Babani - Parfum Persan c1923

La Rose Gullistan by Babani: launched in 1923. It was subtitled "Parfum Persan" or Persian perfume.

The very name Gullistan means "The Rose Garden" and is the title of a very influential work of writings by Sa'di.


La Rose Gullistan, Perfume of Persia. In Persia perfumes were first crushed from roses to make an essence sweet as the essence of love. Rose Gullistan, newest perfume of Babani, oldest perfume of the world! Reproducing the seductive ethereal aroma of a Persian rose. Delicately of the seductive glamour of East.
