VTG 1970s Tuvache JUNGLE GARDENIA Dusting Powder 7 Oz SEALED with Puff

Please use your own words and photos for your listings. Available today is this lovely, circa 1974 to 1976 vintage, internally factory-sealed with box (please note: there is significant shelf wear to the exterior retail box), made in the USA, authentic (Batch Number: G6AB; Reference Number: 8052, Pre-EMB; Pre-UPC), Jungle Gardenia dusting powder in a generous 7-ounce size by Tuvaché, Inc. All photos were taken at high magnification to best show overall item condition. This item dates to the mid-1970s based on several packaging indicators: the higher 8000-series reference (8052) number reflects Tuvaché's 1970s product-line expansion; the batch code (G6AB) is consistent with mid-1970s coding patterns; the Tuvaché, Inc.

10019 confirms manufacture after the 1963 introduction of ZIP codes; the absence of an FDA EMB (Establishment) number (which began in 1978); the absence of an outer box ingredient list is consistent with early-to-mid 1970s packaging; and, finally, the deep green graphic box design represents the brand's updated 1970s presentation. Originally launched in 1932, Jungle Gardenia is classified as a crisp floral scent.

Only bottles distributed from New York, N. Anything marked Chicago, IL or Florida, or showing Yardley, Coty/Jovan, Hypoluxe, or Eternal Fragrances, is a reformulation.

A Brief History of Tuvaché Jungle Gardenia. Tuvaché launched Jungle Gardenia in 1932, creating one of the most recognizable American gardenia perfumes of the 20th century. After founder Bernadine Angus died in 1948, the brand eventually transferred to Germaine Monteil in the mid-1960s, then to British American Tobacco in 1969. A major reformulation appeared in 1986 under Yardley of London (Chicago), followed by Coty's acquisition in 1989 and a brief early-1990s reissue of the 1986 formula.

Subsequent transfers of rights to the "Jungle Gardenia" name in the 2000s produced additional non-Tuvaché versions. Early Tuvaché and Monteil-era bottles remain the most collectible and closest to the original scent profile.

Your item will be carefully packed in a sturdy box. I do not skimp on packing materials. If so, I will change the USA-only designation to accept your location. I do not respond to any requests to undervalue or mislabel merchandise. My goal is for you to be pleased with your experience.
