Love for Bergdorf[edit]

I love Bergdorf! My fave place to shop! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randyharrisonfan (talk • contribs) 06:43, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings!

There is an error in this article regarding the time that the perfume Number Nine was launched. It wasn't developed during the Andrew Bergdorf years as the following link to a print ad from 1942 indicates.

Also, any reference to the song "love potion # 9" is misleading. The love potion #9 smells like turpentine...I can assure you, Number Nine perfume does not smell like turpentine :)

Thank you in advance for making these corrections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.59.183.127 (talk) 22:19, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Number Nine perfume[edit]

Greetings!

There is an error in this article regarding the time that the perfume Number Nine was launched. It wasn't developed during the Andrew Bergdorf years as the following link to a print ad from 1942 indicates. (Last picture bottom right)

Also, any reference to the song "love potion # 9" is misleading. The love potion #9 smells like turpentine...I can assure you, Number Nine perfume does not smell like turpentine :)

Thank you in advance for making these corrections.

Alsace = France?[edit]

The company traces its origins to 1899 when Herman Bergdorf, an immigrant from Alsace, France. I think that time Alsace belonged to the German Empire.

In Media[edit]

In the 1970 film Aiport: The department store's retail labels were sloppily sewed into furs purchased in France by a returning American traveler hoping to smuggle the purchases in undeclared to avoid paying the duty.

Hopefully this should provide enough information for somebody familiar with proper editing procedures to properly format this update... which I am not. Thanks in advance for your assistance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:98A:600:6211:F586:8506:A762:477B (talk) 03:02, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was also the store that Marlo Thomas winked at a mannequin of herself in the second season opening theme of That Girl, as well as the Peter Griffin parody on an episode of Family Guy. I'm sure there are other parodies of that theme containing this segment as well. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 14:43, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
