CLEOPATRA'S BOUDOIR

The usage of celebrities to endorse or create new popularity of a new perfume has been done since the 1800s. The names of well known personalities of the day helped sell perfumes and beauty products to those who wished to emulate the stars themselves.

Early celebrity perfumes included Eau de Cologne Napoleon, Jean Marais

La Rose Jacqueminot was launched by Coty to honour the French general Jacqueminot.

Rigaud launched a line of perfumes named for popular opera singers of the day, Mary Garden, Geraldine Farrar, Emma Trentini, and Carolina White. Mary Garden, had an entire line named after her consisting of perfume, facial powders, toilet water, lipstick, creams, and an assortment of other toiletries.. However, Rigaud may have introduced some Mary Garden products without her consent. As a result, Garden sued Rigaud in 1937, and won! Rigaud wasnt the only perfume company to use Mary's name, the McLean Perfume Co of Detroit launched Mary Garden perfume before 1904, a label around the neck of a bottle states that it won a Grand Prize at the Saint Louis Fair in 1904.

Other perfumes were named for Marthe Chenal.
