Tova Borgnine Passed Away in February

I’m very late with this news but Tova Borgnine passed away on February 26th. She passed away peacefully at the age of 80. Tova is best known for her legendary Tova Signature Perfume which is a gorgeous, clean white musk fragrance with notes of lavender, jasmine, sandalwood, and amber.

Tova’s been creating cosmetics and fragrances since the 60s after her plan to become an actress fell through. Her love of Hollywood definately comes through in her fragrances which all have a very old Glam Hollywood feel. Tova was married to Ernest Borgnine since 1973 and even published a book about her married life called Being Married Happily Forever”.

Tova and Marilyn Miglin are the creators of my two favorite white musk fragrances! Seriously, they created the essence of Hollywood in both. They each have such a vintage touch.

I was saddened to hear about Tova’s passing. I was so busy in February I wasn’t paying much attention to the fragrance and beauty world so news of Tova’s passing came a little late to me. I’m sure her fragrance legacy will carry on. QVC will be having a live Memorial Stream in the days that follow. No date has been set but QVC will send out an alert via newsletter if you are subscribed.

Rest in Peace Tova. You’ll be missed. Whenever you are, I know you’ll be smelling pretty!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    MM Pheromone and Destiny…yes! Not as fond of the more recent offerings. I have so much respect for MM’s dignity and her ability to carry on after the horrendous murder of her husband. For the younger folks, her husband was killed by Andrew Cunanan, who was apprehended after a cross country spree killing ending with Gianni Versace. I also used her color cosmetics.

    Awww…that is sad news. I have never bought any of her fragrances, but I enjoyed watching her on the Q. RIP Tova. 🙁

      It’s such sad news 🙁 I hope the fragrances remain around as she was quite a master with scent!

    I was sad, too when I heard that Tova had died. I have worn her signature fragrance since it was created. A small sample vial was given as a party favor at a luncheon I attended. I even met her once at her salon in Beverly Hills and she was so warm and gracious.
    More sad news. I just saw that Marilyn Miglin passed. Wearing Pheromone today in her honor.
