Daimo by Babani - Parfum Japonais c1921

Daimo by Babani: launched in 1921. This was described as a "Parfum Japonaise"  or a Japanese perfume.



Daimo, Parfum Japonais; picturesque, theatrical, exquisitely unreal. Subtle and interesting - it adds a note of color and sophistication. Daimo is for those hours when imagination and desire whirl you away from facts and dullness. Daimo at once makes you think of Gloria Swanson. It is theatrical, imaginative, make-believe, as exotic and bizarre as her costumes.

Fragrance Composition:



So what does it smell like? There are no published notes on this composition, but it is described as "light and subtle" with "a bouquet of exotic blossoms", so I would assume that it may be a floral fragrance for women with possibly a soft oriental base. I would need a sample of the perfume to tell you what it really smells like.
