Shakti by Coty c1950

The launch of the Shakti feminine fragranced deodorant powder by Coty in 1950 coincided with a pivotal era in history, marked by significant social, cultural, and economic transformations, particularly in the context of women's roles and rights.

It was a clean, subtle, cooling fragrance, "a fragrance which mysteriously blends with and enhances any other fragrance you wear."
