A beautiful survivor from the golden era of American perfumery, this original Cachet Cologne captures the bold elegance that made Prince Matchabelli one of the most celebrated fragrance houses of the twentieth century. Introduced in 1970, Cachet quickly became one of the company's signature fragrances, admired for its sophisticated green floral composition built upon a rich chypre base. This unused early bottle retains its original heavy glass presentation, silver-tone cap, and silver paper foil base label, making it an increasingly desirable collector's piece.

Available today is this lovely, 1970s vintage, original and authentic Cachet Cologne splash in a generous 2 oz (60ml) size by Prince Matchabelli Inc. of New York, N.Y., made in the USA. (Batch Number: K3) This is a completely full, unused bottle housed in its original heavy glass presentation. Photos were taken at high magnification to best highlight overall item condition. The buyer will receive the exact item pictured. Condition

This bottle remains in excellent vintage condition. The fragrance is completely full and unused. The heavy glass bottle displays beautifully, while the silver-tone cap exhibits only extremely light wear consistent with careful storage. The white enameled front lettering remains fully intact and highly legible. The original silver paper foil label on the base remains securely attached and readable. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description. Collector Notes

Cachet became one of Prince Matchabelli's most successful modern fragrances and remains highly regarded by collectors for its distinctive floral chypre composition and unmistakable 1970s character. Early bottles such as this example are becoming increasingly difficult to locate in unused condition, particularly those retaining their original graphics, cap finish, and foil labels.

Many surviving bottles exhibit noticeable cosmetic wear, evaporation, or missing labels after decades of storage. This exceptionally well-preserved example offers outstanding display appeal while preserving the original presentation sought by collectors of vintage American perfumery. Why This Bottle Stands Out vs. Later Versions

This early Prince Matchabelli presentation reflects the company's original production before subsequent ownership changes and later packaging revisions. The substantial heavy glass bottle, silver-tone cap, white enameled lettering, and original silver paper foil label exemplify the quality associated with early Cachet production and distinguish it from many later commercial releases. Fragrance History

1970: Cachet is introduced by Prince Matchabelli as a sophisticated floral chypre fragrance.

1970s: Cachet becomes one of the company's most successful fragrances and a staple of American department stores.

1980s: The fragrance continues its popularity while packaging gradually evolves through later production runs.

Present Day: Early unused Prince Matchabelli bottles have become increasingly sought after by collectors of vintage American perfumery.

Originally launched in 1970, Cachet is generally classified as a floral chypre fragrance. The composition opens with aldehydes, green notes, spices, and galbanum before developing into an elegant floral heart of jasmine, rose, patchouli, orris root, and vetiver. A rich base of leather, amber, musk, civet, and oakmoss provides warmth, depth, and remarkable longevity, creating the sophisticated floral chypre character that established Cachet as one of Prince Matchabelli's signature fragrances.
