Tabu by Dana

Tabu by Dana

Tabu by Dana is a women's fragrance created by Jean Carles (1892-1966), a legend in the perfumery industry. Jean Carles worked for Roure Bertrand, a company associated with noted fashion houses such as Nina Ricci, Christian Dior, Elsa Schiaparelli and Cristóbal Balenciaga. [1]

The House of Dana was a perfumery established in 1932 in Barcelona, Spain by lawyer Javier Serra. It was later headquartered in Paris. In 1940, it relocated to America during the German occupation of France during World War II. One of the notable creations of the House of Dana was Tabu. The long-running print advertisement -- showing a man with a violin kissing a woman -- is generally considered a classic, and has often been parodied.

Dana Classic Fragrances continues the tradition of selling well-known fragrances.[2]
