Re The Perfume Suite, as per Stanley Dance in the original album notes, "Originally premiered at Carnegie Hall on 19 December 1944, this four-part work was a deliberate attempt to dazzle a seated audience. 'The premise behind it,' Ellington wrote in Music Is My Mistress, 'was what perfume does to or for the woman who is wearing it, and each part portrayed the mood a woman gets into – or would like to get into – when wearing a certain type of perfume.'"
