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".

Available as "Parfum Cologne", often paired with Max Factor's other perfume Cocoanut Grove and sold in a gift set for $2.00, otherwise sold singly for $1.00 a bottle.

So what does it smell like? I have no notes on this composition, but early ads describe it as lilting, so I imagine it was probably a light, floral aldehyde perfume, with some citrus top notes.
