Harper's Bazaar, 1933:
"Coty's Fougeraie au Crépuscule, Guerlain's Vol de Nuit, Patou's Invitation, Caron's lovely En Avion. Corday's La Promesse, Molyneux's Charm, and Chanel's Ivoire — all of these perfumes have a modern and distinctive quality."
Rester Jeune, 1936:
"For a young blonde woman, rather sporty and dressed in white dresses, in piqué or in embroidered lawn, Charm de Molyneux will suit very well; both subtle and fresh, it is reminiscent of honeysuckle, hyacinth, mandarin; Vivre, warmer, with scents of mimosa, will do better for a brunette."
International Associations, 1951:
"MOLYNEUX- N° 5, Magnificence, Chic, Vivre, Rue Royale, Charm, Coffret de 3 Parfums, Eau de Cologne N° 5, Eau de Lavande, Alliance."
