Golden Forest by Max Factor c1966

Golden Forest by Max Factor: launched in 1966. The only mention I can find of this fragrance is in two editions of the 1966 Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun (reduced editions), I believe the perfume is actually the Max Factor perfume Golden Woods, renamed for the Japanese market only due to someone else in Japan probably having trademarked the name "Golden Woods".
