L'Amour de l'art, 1950:

"Sirocco by Lucien Lelong: tenacious and disturbing, this fragrance of metamorphosis smells of hot sand and brings us the divine scents of the next oasis."

Harper's Bazaar, 1955:

"Sirocco," by Lucien Lelong, belongs to the woody, leafy, mossy group of perfumes — camouflaged here in a gold-plated flacon."

Bottles:

The pure parfum was presented in a beautiful twisted crystal bottle with a ground glass stopper, which I named the "Torsade flacon". Sirocco was also housed in less expensive bottles and presentations.
