154

In 1931, John Perona opened El Morocco at 154 East 54th Street. Beyond its doors: zebra stripes, Schiaparelli cellophane palms, elegant torsos moving beneath a cerulean sky of twinkling lights, and smoke lingering past midnight. This fragrance recalls that address with a velvety musk and sultry allure—an echo of what awaited those who made it past the doorman dressed in the unmistakable uniform of the foreign legionnaire.
