CLEOPATRA'S BOUDOIR

The Zutz Cosmetics Company was started by Henry and Julia Zutz in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1923. They made by hand, a variety of women's perfumes and cosmetics in small batches for specialty shops of their time. Henry was trained as a pharmacist and worked in that field for years before starting his own cosmetics company. They ceased production completely by 1946.

Rarely one can find their perfume bottles, which is a green or blue slag glass rectangle with a golden foil label with an Egyptian style lady on the front.

Also to be found are the Zutz potpourri sachets.

Zutz Cosmetics were sold thru a small store named the Thelma and Viola Beauty Shop, ran by Thelma Davis and Viola Harper.
