Rosine Perfumes

 

In this guide I have listed the various perfumes presented by Rosine, the perfumery by designer Paul Poiret of Paris France. He was the first fashion designer to establish a perfume company.

Les Parfums de Rosine were established in 1911 by designer Paul Poiret with his wife Denise at 107 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honore in Paris. Rosine sold perfumes, toiletries and cosmetics as fitting accessories for his avant garde fashions.  The company was named after Poiret's eldest daughter. Many artists and illustrators worked for Rosine. Poiret lost financial control around 1925 and the business was later acquired by Societe Centrale de la Parfumerie Francais (L. Legrand) in 1930 and managed by Madame Nevarte Cordero. Most of the existing Rosine perfumes were produced until the 1950s in standard presentations.

Poiret's perfumes were created with the help of the perfumer-glassmaker Maurice Schaller, and later with the celebrated Almeras. The perfume names evoked the exotic with names such as Le Fruit Defendu, Borgia, Nuit de Chine, Le Balcon, and Shakhyamuni. Nuit de Chine was created by Maurice Schaller and was originally called Nuit d'Orient.

The perfume Coeur en Folie was introduced at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris.

The perfume bottles for Rosine were produced by Depinoix and Lefebure as well as Poiret's own companies Atelier Colin & Atelier Martine. Most of the bottles were hand painted at Atelier Martine. The packaging of his perfumes resembled the look and materials of his fashions, with great emphasis on vivid colors, opulent textures and harlequin and Oriental lampshade patterns. Arlequinade was directly inspired by harlequin and had gilded triangles on its bottle along with a Bakelite cap shaped like a tricorne hat.

Prince Matchabelli Perfumes

History:

The company was created by Prince Georges V. Matchabelli who was not only a previous Georgian Prince of Georgian Prince and ambassador to Italy, but also was an amateur chemist who began creating perfumes for his friends and family as a hobby. George was a Russian exile who fled the Soviet Union and immigrated to the USA after the Russian Revolution. He and his wife, Princess Norina Matchabelli (an actress whose stage name was Maria Carmi), opened a small antiques shop Le Rouge et le Noir at 545 Madison Avenue. The name derived from Stendhal's novel, red for aristocracy (Matchabelli's origins) and black for clergy (The Miracle, a religious play). They later established the Prince Matchabelli Perfume Company in 1926.Perfumes were personally blended for clients. The first three perfumes were Princess Norina, Queen of Georgia and Ave Maria. The company became known for the many color-coded, crown-shaped bottles that housed such well-known perfume brands as The crown-shaped bottle was designed by Norina after the Matchabelli crown and was introduced in 1928 with labels on the underside. Matching cosmetic cases and sets with miniature crowns.

The color coding of the bottles initially:

  • Queen of Georgia in red/gilded (1928)
  • Princess Norina in red/gilded (1928).
  • Ave Maria in black/gilded (1928).
  • Duchess of York in a periwinkle blue opaline/gilded (1934).
  • Katherine the Great in white/gilded (1935).
  • Beloved in blue/gilded (1940).
  • Crown Jewel in clear/gilded (1946)
  • Wind Song in green/gilded (1953).
  • Added Attraction in red/gilded (1956).

Dating your bottles: The older Matchabelli crown shaped bottles are all glass, including the cross shaped stopper. These bottles seem to command higher prices than the plastic versions. The older bottles have colored glass, the later bottles are colored enamel over glass. The tallest bottles stand 6 1/4" tall and the smallest measure just 1 5/6" tall. The 1950s mini versions omit the cross and have a simple brass or plastic screw cap, these bottles measure 1 5/8" tall and 1 1/4" tall.

Vintage Richard Hudnut Perfumes

 

Around 1880, a small pharmacy was opened in New York city and sold perfumes, cosmetics and assorted toiletries. Richard Hudnut, the son of the proprietor of the shop, became the first American selling luxury perfume presentations, (though some of these were created in France) in an elegant shop which was directly influenced by the French and European perfumeries. In 1916, the company was sold to Henry & Gustavus Adolphus Pfeiffer and Richard Hudnut was no longer involved in the business. As a result of this, Gustavus Adolphus became the president of the Richard Hudnut Company.  In the 1920s, the company had expanded into Europe, and acquired the French style. The company proudced several luxurious presentations during the 1920s but the quality of designs declined gradually starting in the 1930s and right on thru to the 1950s.When Richard Hudnut opened a new shopat 20 rue de la Paix, Paris in 1927, he introduced four new blends of perfumes called Le Debut. Each perfume was of the same Art Deco octagonal shape, but had it's own color to suggest four different moods. Original boxes are rare to find, but if you are lucky enough you might find that Le Debut Vert came in a green box, Le Debut Blanc came in a white box, Le Debute Noir came in a red box and Le Debut Bleu came in a blue box. The rarest bottle color is the white bottle. The perfume bottles came in five different sizes from 5 1/8" tall to diminutive 1 1/4" tall bottles. Matching compacts and vanity cases were also sold.

Please do not confuse this bottle with the blue 1987 bottle for LouLou by Cacharel, the stoppers are completely different.

Caron Perfumes

In the early years of the turn of the century, Ernest Daltroff, was beginning to get fascinated by scent and fragrance creation. So in 1903,  Daltroff purchased a perfumery in Asnieres called Parfumerie Emilia, a northwestern suburb of Paris, Daltroff's first perfume was named Royal Emilia, after the shop. His business was such a success that he purchased another small perfumery and haberdashery store from Anna-Marie Caron, called the Magasin Caron at 10 rue de la Paix, in the fashionable heart of Paris and renamed it Parfumerie Caron. He liked the name and decided it would be easy for his customers to pronounce in any language and remember as well as looking good on packaging. The perfume Royal Emilia was renamed Royal Caron in 1904..

As the clientele grew, he took on a partner, Felicie Vanpouille, a young dressmaker, and Daltroff's lover. She was made the artistic director of the company and was responsible for design and packaging. Many of the perfume flacons used by Caron were designed by Felicie, such as Chantecler, Royal Emilia, and others. But her best known design was for the bottle of Narcisse Noir. This bottle was so popular that it was being copied by other companies for their own versions of Narcisse perfumes. 

The firm continued to prosper and exported perfumes to the United States, South America, England. They opened a branch in 1923 in New York to satisfy their American cliente.  Subsequently the firm expanded in the years between the wars and was awarded the Legion d'Honneur by the French Government for its outstanding economic achievements.

Ernest fled to the United States two years before the start of World War II, he died in 1941. Felicie later remarried and her new name was Felicie Bergaud,and continued to run the firm until she sold it in 1962.

Vintage Houbigant Perfumes

History:

Jean Francois Houbigant established his famous company at the tender age of 23, in 1774. The modest shop was located at no. 19 rue de Faubourg Saint-Honore, Paris and was named "A la Corbeille de Fleurs". His first products were toilet waters, scented gloves and powders.

In 1872, most of the products from the House of Houbigant were sold to the French aristocracy, nobility, clergy and the best known names in France. Among his most famous clients were Queen Marie Antoinette, who reportedly hurried to Houbigant to get her perfume bottles refilled with Eau de Mousseline and Eau de Millefleurs before fleeing from Paris.

The company survived the French Revolution and was passed on to Jean-Francois’s son and then to Chardin, another perfumer, who was appointed Napoleon III’s personal perfumer. In his book Memories of Saint-Helena, Victor Masson wrote that Napoleon’s wife Josephine was a devoted patron of Houbigant, and when her beloved husband lay dying, she had two of Houbigant’s perfumed pastilles burning in his bedroom.

Other famous clients included Princess Adelaide d’Orleans in 1829, Queen Victoria of England in 1838, the Emperor Napoleon III in 1870, and the Tsar of Russia in 1890, all appointed Houbigant as their royal perfumer.

After Chardin, two other perfumers acquired the company, Magny and Gabillot.

In 1881, the company was acquired by Javal & Paul Parquet, who was one of the first to use synthetics in his perfume creations. He was also the creator of the first fougere fragrance called Fougere Royale.

Around the turn of the century, another perfumer joined Houbigant, Robert Bieniame, who became the assistant to and protege of Paul Parquet,  created the classic perfume Quelques Fleurs. Often regarded as the first true multi-floral scent, Quelques Fleurs was the springboard for this type of perfume.

At the 1900 Paris Exhibition, Houbigant introduced a special perfume, Coeur de Jeanette in honour of the exhibition, this scent was created by Paul Parquet. Houbigant participate din all major exhibitions and presentations ranged from luxury to low-priced.

The perfume bottle for the 1903 perfume Les Violettes was designed by the master glassmaker, Emilie Galle.

The 1911 fragrance La Rose France was created by Paul Parquet and named after the variety of rose which enjoyed great popularity during this time.

Raffinee: introduced in 1982, it is composed of over two hundred ingredients, combining floral and oriental notes, including jasmine, rose and hyacinth, laced with spices, herbs and incense, The name is intended to evoke a certain refined elegance, as reflected in the packaging of lacquered red and gold.

Jean Patou Perfumes

History:

Jean Patou was born in 1887 in the Basque region and died in 1936 at the age of only 49. By the age of 23, he moved to Paris and was already a successful dressmaker and tailor In  1923, he purchased a small shop, Maison Parry and had adopted the Patou name. His popularity grew among a loyal, private clientele and he subsequently founded his fashion and perfume house where he presented his premiere collection in 1919. This proved to be such  a great success that he opened a office in New York to fill the demand for his American clients. He also expanded his business to the Coin des Sports boutique, a shop in Deauville and a summer house of couture in Biarritz..

He was the first to introduce sportswear for women, including tennis skirts, tennis shorts, knitted bathing suits, jersey cardigans and introduced complementary accessories for his clothes, putting his monogram on them where it would be seen. Another first was the first suntan lotion, women of the 1920s started sunbathing to attain the bronzed glow from the sun, and Patou introduced Huile de Chaldee. Huile de Chaldee was named after an ancient city in Babylonia that was legendary for its beautiful, amber skinned beauties.

 Patou was among the first couturiers to include perfumes as part of a collection. He introduced his first three perfumes together in 1925, Amour Amour, Que Sais-Je?, and Adieu Sagesse, created with the help of Paul Poiret's perfumer, Henri Almeras. Patou also installed a cocktail bar for the gentleman  while their ladies were being fitted for their haute couture. In 1930, he created a perfume bar for the amusement of his clients, encouraging them to concoct their own fragrances.

Jean Patou wanted to send a gift of appreciation to his many regular international clients who would be unable to visit Paris in that first year of the Great Depression. He asked Almeras to create something very strong, yet simple, no matter what the cost. This lead to the creation of the costliest perfume in the world, Joy. The predominant ingredients of Bulgarian rose and jasmine-one ounce, it is said requires 10,000 jasmine flowers and 28 dozen roses. The bottle was produced in three different designs. The first one, was designed to classical proportions by Louis Sue, the second was inspired by Jean Patou's own collection of antique Chinese snuff bottles, and the third was a cut crystal flacon produced  by Baccarat.

AA Vantine's History and Perfumes

In this guide I have listed the various perfumes presented by the Ashley Abraham Vantine Inc.  of West 39th Street New York City, with branches in Boston & Philadelphia.

Vantine's Oriental Store was a well known gift store that specialized in imported wares "from the Empires of Japan, China, India, China, Persia and the East". It was founded in 1869 by AA Vantine in New York City, establishing one of the first stores to import Oriental goods.Most of their incense burners were also imported from France. Vantine's supplied a touch of the exotic to Americans during the craze for all things Oriental.

Some commonly found items from Vantine's are the metal incense burners imported from France, incense tins, fans, postcards, advertisements, mahjonng sets, vases, Japanese dolls,and powder boxes.

The less commonly found items are:

  • the perfumes (some in their original lacquer boxes)
  • bath salts
  • catalogs
  • lamps and lampshades
  • Oriental rugs & carpets
  • soaps
  • paper lanterns
  • porcelain tableware
  • bronze lamps
  • teas, coffees
  • delicacies
  • toys
  • kimonos
  • bronze & porcelain jardinieres
  • porcelain and cloisonne floor vases
  • wall scrolls
  • paper parasols
  • other parasols had ivory, belt buckles, silver & jade handles
  • dinner gongs
  • chimes
  • carved ivories
  • draperies
  • Baghdad cushions
  • rattan furniture
  • Oriental silk fabrics
  • teakwood furniture
  • solid silver tea services
  • large bronzes
  • Japanese & Chinese brocade bags
  • clothing
  • shawls
  • hair ornaments called kanzashi 
  • jewelry.

Original Vantine's labels on these goods are scarce.

The company also provided mail order catalogues so that customers could "rest comfortably at home in your easy chair, and, at your leisure, select by mail, with absolute confidence, from the largest collection of Oriental goods in America".

Vantine's also had a fan catalog featuring over 100 different fan styles made of bamboo, bone, gauze, sandalwood, paper, silk and some with sequin spangled decorations. The 1906 ad stated that fans make souvenirs and gifts for cotillions, bridesmaids, weddings, dinners, and all other occasions.

On a darker note, Vantine's was bought in 1926 by mob gangster Arnold Rothstein who used the store as a front for his business in drug smuggling. Since Vantine's was a legitimate business with an excellent reputation, customs officials gave the shipments only a cursory search. This drug trafficking operation through Vantine's only lasted until 1928, when Rothstein was murdered.

The perfumes and toiletries listed below are ones that I have found in original advertisements, the dates given are from what year I saw them in an ad, they may have been introduced earlier, but I have no exact proof just yet.

    Lorenzy Palanca. This company was established during the 19th century by Jules Lorenzy at 61 boulevard des dames, Marseilles, France. Although the business primarily sold soaps, around the turn of the century, they also sold perfumes, razors, toiletries and cosmetics with beautiful paper graphics and stunning label designs. The business was successful enough to open major branches in Algiers, Oran, Nice and Toulon, but went bankrupt in 1930. The name Lorenzy-Palanca was subsequently used by a new company, Societe Anonyme Andre Lorenzy.I have listed all the various perfume/soap names I could find from this company, and I know there are more out there, if I missed one, please let me know. These are few and far between. Though it is possible to find old soap labels on the internet, and repros. Remember, when finding labels, the scent names for soaps are always preceded with Savon, the French word for soap.

    Callot Soeurs of 9-10 avenue Matignon,Paris, was established in 1895 by three sisters,Marie Callot Gerber (a designer), Marthe Callot Bertrand and Regine Callot Chantrelle. Under the creative designs of Marie, and designer friend Madame Madeliene Vionnet, Callot Soeurs became a leading fashion house, producing day time clothes, Oriental and period at-home and evening gowns. All creations featured the use of luxurious fabrics, sumptuous embroideries and fine fashion details. In 1923, perfumes, mostly inspired by China were introduced and were available up until the 1950s. The boxes for perfume were in the same shape as the boxes for the fashion house's clothes. The design house of Madame Vionnet of 50 avenue Montaigne,Paris, was established in 1912 by Madeleine Vionnet, who had previously worked for Kate Reilly of London, Callot Soeurs of Paris and Doucet of Paris. She was among the first to introduce collections without corsets,said to be inspired by actress Isadora Duncan, who refused to wear corsets.  Her couture house closed during World War I and reopened in 1919. She catered to the most prestigious of clientele. She introduced perfumes in 1924 and initially offered them only to her clients, there are only two commercial presentations known. Some of her early perfumes had simple letter names. Her salons closed in 1939.

    Bichara Perfumes

    Bichara of  10 rue de la Chausse-d'Antin, Paris France.

    The Bichara perfume company was established in 1896 by Bichara Malhame (from Beirut), who styled himself as "The Syrian Perfumer". The company was first located in Rouen and Dieppe. His perfumes were advertised as "parfums enivrants" (intoxicating perfumes).

    The hair dye "Extrait de Henne Bichara" of 1899 was so successful that it financed the introduction of luxury perfumes. Bichara maintained that luxury image through it's shop and constant exposure in the French press. It was advertised as "Allah est grand et Bichara est son parfumeur" (Allah is good and Bichara is his perfumer"). Bichara also produced fine hennas for the hair, Le Henne Bichara, and kohl eye makeup called Mokoheul, this eye cosmetic was probably introduced in 1913 and stayed very popular into the 1920s. Another eye cosmetic was Cillana which I found reference in a 1913 ad. These two eye cosmetics were advertised as  for "charme, beaute, sante des yeux", (charm , beauty and eye health). Eau des Roses Syrie was a skin brightener which also freshened the skin.

    Around the turn of the century, the company became immensely successful with Sarah Bernhardt as his muse, who publicly endorsed perfumes. Bichara perfumes were her favorites.Bichara's client included the playwright Edmond Rostand who  called Bichara " the poet of perfume". Other notable clients were: Gabriel  Faure, Gabriele d'Annunzio, and Edouard de Max.Bichara supplied the Royal  Egyptian court. In the 1920s, he opened a luxury fashion shop in London, introducing "couture made perfumes". The company exported worldwide.

    One of his finest perfume presentations was for the 1928 perfume Ramses II, in a tall, obelisk shaped bottle decorated with Egyptian hieroglyphs. The bottle was manufactured by the Cristalleries de Saint-Louis. This bottle is rarely found today and when it does surface, it commands high prices fit for a pharaoh himself.

    Another fine perfume presentation was for the perfume Myrbaha, launched  in 1913, Baccarat bottle, frosted stopper in shape of pharaoh's head with grey patina. I have seen this bottle also used for Nirvana, Ambre, Yahvahna and Chypre perfumes. 5 7/8" tall. I have also had this stopper on a very rare pyramid shaped bottle before.

    Early labels on cosmetics and perfumes, portrayed Bichara seizing the mythological Fortune by the hair  with the inscription "Comment Bichara saisit la fortune" ( How Bichara grabs good fortune). An appropriate image since Bichara's original fortune was made on the hair product "Le Henne Bichara". The labels were redesigned in the 1920s by FL Schied in Art Deco style. Bichara also appeared on a Baccarat stopper portraying himself as an Egyptian pharaoh. Bichara Malhame died in 1930 and was succeeded by his daughter, Rose but the quality of perfume presentations declined  and character of company changed, exemplified by Handle with Care in 1945. Bichara continued production into the 1950s.

So great was their success that they had considerable exports to the USA.Isabey participated in the 1925 Paris Exhibition and was awarded gold, not bad for a company that was barely one year old.

    It is possibly to find a frosted glass perfume bottle for the fragrance Lov'Me, it features a nude and her lover on the side. Many people mistake it for a Lalique bottle, but it was not made by Lalique.

    A very rare bottle was produced by Quezal for the Melba Manufacturing Company in 1922 for the perfume Jolly Good (and possibly others). It was a golden iridescent art glass with a tapering body and hexagonal amber stopper. Base will be signed Quezal and Melba.

    Lionceau Perfumes

    Lionceau was established in 1920 at 110 Demours, Paris France, by Michel Schasseur. The company generally produced luxury presentations and had large exports to the United States. In 1922, the company was acquired by the Boston-based food chain, SS Pierce. Lionceau was also affiliated with two other perfume companies:  Elesbe and Demours.

    Demours was established in 1927 at 110 rue Demours,Paris by Michel Schasseur and sold perfumes and cosmetics.

    Elesbe was established in 1922 at 20 rue Dagobert, Clichy (Seine) by Robert-Laurent Levy, Roger de Soria and Pierre Bord with the company's name based on their initials (LSB).

    Lionceau applied for the patent for these bottles in 1927,the bottles can be found in different opaque colors for different scents. An advertisement of the era states that this bottle was designed by Lalique. Bottles are marked made in France on base. The bottles were made in several sizes from 5 7/8" tall, 4" tall , 3 1/8" tall and  2 1/2" tall. The bottles were by H. Saumont.

    Babani Perfumes

    Babani's shop was located at 93, 98, and 98bis, boulevard Haussmann, Paris France and were importers of Oriental wares, as well as a couture house, and also offered exquisite perfumes.

    The Babani company has very obscure beginnings but is believed to have been established around 1895 when Vitaldi Babani acquired an existing shop that specialized in goods imported from China and Japan. He then opened other shops and around 1900, V. Babani diversified with daring fashions and sumptuous Liberty of London fabrics. Then in 1906, he created a style inspired by the Far East, called "Le Niu-Tse".

    Babani was also influenced by the Ballets Russes and introduced oriental and Arabian fashions, made exquisite by the usage of gold embroidery and ornate patterning. He also introduced the "Sphinxia", a special sewing machine manufactured expressly for gold chain stitch embroidery.

    In 1919, his son, Maurice Babani became the second Paris couturier to introduce perfumes. These perfumes featured luxurious presentations of the highest calibre. In 1920, S. Babani was also a prestigious importer of Oriental wares.

    The exquisite perfume bottles were sold in the Elizabeth Arden salons on behalf of Babani Paris. The clear glass bottles had rich gold and black finishes and generally had Oriental themes. The bottles were produced by Maurice Depinoix. Babani expressed his gratitude in creating a fragrance called Mon Amie Elizabeth.

    An original 1925 advertisement for Elizabeth Arden states :

    "Elizabeth Arden has introduced to America the fashion for combining two or three Babani perfumes to accent your varying charms. Blend two or more Babani perfumes to create a personal perfume formula, a new fragrance which no one can identify or imitate, that will emphasize your interesting complexity, will seem to vary as your charming moods, and yet be essentially you. All Babani perfumes will combine in fragrant harmonies. Elizabeth Arden suggests that you blend Babani's Ambre de Delhi with Ligeia. Or Babani's Chypre with Sousouki. Or create a blended perfume quite your own.The perfumes of Babani are imported  by Elizabeth Arden in just the lovely bottles and boxes in which they are sealed in Paris."

    Oriza Legrand Perfumes

    Oriza L. Legrand of 11 place de la Madeleine,Paris.

    Established in 1811 by L. Legrand after purchasing formulas from descendants of Fargeon, the perfumer to the then 10 year old Louis XV. The business was purchased in 1860 by Antonin Raynaud and subsequently succeeded by his widow. The business was later purchased by Armand Schul around 1910 and was later known as Zociete Centrale de la Parfumerie Francaise.In the 19th century, Legrand was the court perfumers to Napoleon III, and the British, Russian and Italian royalty.

    The company had two major innovations during the 19th century, with the 1879  introduction Parfumerie Oriza and the patent in 1887 for solid perfumes. This first commercial solid perfume was named "Essence Oriza Solidifiee". The Parfumerie Oriza was Legrand's first perfume line and icluded related cosmetics and toiletries under one name with coordinated graphics. This line was so successful that the company became known as Oriza-Legrand.L. Legrand was a successful company and won the gold medal in the 1889 Exhibition and the Grand Prix in the 1900 Exhibition. The company produced luxury perfumes. Perhaps the most notable was for Fin Comme l'Ambre in 1913, with a Baccarat bottle made up of clear & frosted crystal with molded heads of lions.

    The perfumes of Oriza L. Legrand:

    • 1862 Aux Violettes du Czar
    • 1879 Essence Oriza
    • 1887 Essence Oriza Solidifiee

    Do not confuse perfumes of Oriza L. Legrand with those of Hector Legrand, these companies are not related in any way. This company was established in 1856 at 118 rue Henry-Litolff, Bois Colombes (Seine). The proprietor in the early 20th century was J. Caron and produced small luxury perfumes, cosmetics and toiletries. Best known for the 1920 presentation of Eglantine de la Reine with the tiara bottle manufactured by Lalique.

    Rimmel Perfumes

    Rimmel was established in 1834 by two Frenchmen, Eugene Rimmel and his father, who was a Lubin trained perfumer. They opened splendid shops in London and Paris. their main shop was at 96 Strand, London. All perfumes were produced in Grasse by the Rimmel family.

    Imaginative products included perfumed jewelry, gloves, fans, cards, calendars, etc.  The company was very successful and in 1851 at the Great Exhibition , Rimmel's giant perfume fountain scented the entire hall.

    Rimmel was appointed Royal Perfumer to the British, Spanish and French royal courts.

    Eugene Rimmel published  The Book of Perfumes in 1864 and it was a best seller for many years. You can sometimes find copies on ebay.

    Eugene died in 1887 and was succeeded by two sons. Despite financial setbacks, the company maintained their luxury image, producing some extraordinary presentations such as Art Moderne in 1925.

    Seely. A perfume & extract company was established in 1862 by James M. Seely in  Detroit, Michigan.Some of Seely’s perfume bottles were meant for apothecaries and barber shops, these are clear glass and have the name of the perfume or cologne etched onto the front of the bottle. The bottles are easily identified as Seely’s as their name is always etched before the perfume name. Other bottles will have paper labels, some are very ornate with chromolithography, others are a little bit more simpler.

    Perfumes were often called “Qualite Royal”. They also produced a hair oil called Seely's Opera Hair Oil. Seely perfumes are not easily found. I have listed all that I could find, if you know of another, please let me know.

    The New York Times had printed an following article on March 7, 1902.

    “The American Perfume Company with a capital of $5,000,000 is a combination which will be effected in a few days by about fifteen of the largest perfume manufacturers and handlers of the United States. Headquarters will be established in New York, whence the movement emanates, and there will be distributing centers in Detroit and Chicago. Detroit firms in the movement will probably be the Michigan Drug Company. F. Stearns & Co., and the Seely Manufacturing Company. - The following are some of the firms outside of Detroit which will join the combination:

    • Colgate & Co.
    • Richard Hudnut
    • Ladd & Coffin
    • Lazell
    • Dalley & Co.
    • Ricksecker & Co.. New York
    • the Wright Company

    William & Alfred Wright established their proprietary medicine company in 1869 in San Francisco. In 1899, Alfred Wright opened a perfumery located in Rochester, New York. He also had a branch in Philadelphia. Many of the bottles I have come across have the Philadelphia address on them. You will also find these embossed with the name Alfred Wright or with the initials AW.

    The perfumes of Alfred Wright:

    • 1876 Mary Stuart
    • 1877 Grand Duchess
    • 1880s Violet of India

    Herman Tappan Perfume Company of New York.The Tappan Company was one of the major American perfume companies during the Victorian era. It seems to have been established around 1881 by Herman Tappan in New York City, who was the successor to Corning & Tappan.

    Most of Tappan's perfumes & colognes were aimed at the middle class and their prices were affordable. Tappan was very fond of figural perfume bottles and many of the colognes of the era were packaged and sold in these little glass novelties. Some of the more notable figurals from Tappan are baseball bats, ladies boots, legs,hands and slippers, and street lamps. In the 1890s Tappan had two patents on figural perfume bottles.

    Tappan perfumes are increasingly hard to find nowadays as original labels are sometimes lost and all we are left with is empty bottles.  The early non-figural bottles are cylindrical in shape and sometimes have the Tappan name embossed along the sides, usually the molded glass stoppers are in the shape of a large letter T. The bottles are generally light aqua color, clear or have turned a sun purple color.

    I have looked everywhere for perfumes and colognes by Tappan, I was only able to find a few, if you know of more, please let me know and I will update the guide. I have placed estimated guesses on some of the circa dates for some of the perfumes & colognes, the others I was able to pinpoint from references.

    Theodore Ricksecker of New York City and Hoboken,NJ.The Ricksecker family established themselves in Dover, Ohio. Theodore Ricksecker eventually became a resident of Brooklyn, and a druggist in New York City in the mid-1800s.  He is credited to have been the first American to establish a perfumery company, launching his first fragrance in 1868.  Over the decades, he became renowned for his rich spice and floral fragrances in perfumes and colognes.  His use of pottery and glass, in a variety of shapes, colors, techniques, and sizes were part of the appeal -- then, as is now for collectors.  In 1889, as an exhibitor in the Universal Exposition in Paris, he won a silver medal for one of his exhibits.Some rare Ricksecker perfume bottles are made up of porcelain, many of these pieces have delicate handpainting and little corks or metal crown stoppers. Even rarer are the perfumes in colorful end of day glass bottles.

    Colgate Company of Jersey City, NJ from 1879 to 1959.The Colgate's Soap and Perfumery Works, later Colgate-Palmolive, was founded in 1806 by William Colgate. Colgate, an English immigrant, set up a starch, soap and candle business on Dutch Street in New York City. Frances Smith was made a partner in the following year and the firm became Smith and Colgate. William Colgate bought out his partner in 1813, the name was then changed to William Colgate & Co.The company moved from New York to NJ and the factory was completed in 1847. The name Colgate & Company was first adopted in 1857, after the death of William Colgate. Colgate & Company began getting into perfume and calling themselves perfumers in 1866. In 1866, the company introduced perfumed soap and began the manufacture of perfumes and essences. Six years later Cashmere Bouquet, the first milled perfumed toilet soap, was registered as a trademark. Colgate & Company produced its first toothpaste, an aromatic dental cream sold in jars. Then, in 1896, the company made toothpaste much more convenient to use by introducing the first collapsible toothpaste tube, one similar to those in use today.Meanwhile in Milwaukee, the B.J Johnson Soap Company, founded in 1864, was about to change its destiny. In 1898 the company introduced Palmolive Soap, a product that was so successful it prompted B.L. Johnson to change its name to the Palmolive Company in 1916.By its 100th anniversary, Colgate & Company,was manufacturing dental care products, laundry soaps, 160 different kinds of toilet soap and 625 varieties of perfume. The US Palmolive Company was expanding too. In 1926 it merged with the soap manufacturers Peet Brothers in Kansas City to form Palmolive-Peet Company. Two years later, this company merged with Colgate & Company and the new entity was known as the Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Company.By 1972, Colgate was trademarking its fragrances and using bottles which bore a Colgate trademark symbol. This bottle lacks that symbol.I have listed all the perfumes I have been able to find,I do know that 625 perfumes were available by 1920, if there is one I missed, please let me know. Thanks

    Solon Palmer of New York, NY from 1878 to 1947.Solon Palmer was established in 1847, as a Perfumer & Chemist. Early cologne bottles were made of a beautiful shade of deep emerald green or rich teal in color and were usually the laydown types. Later bottles are clear glass, or light aqua glass and are cylindrical or hourglass shaped.Solon Palmer produced over 100 perfumes from 1885-1920s,  I listed all I could find, I know there are more to be found. If I missed one, please let me know.Some of the 1920s perfumes may have had earlier launch dates than shown. I listed the perfumes as found in advertisements of the era. I also added "circa dates" to some perfumes where I couldnt find an exact date. Sometimes you might find tax stamps on the bottles, generally these are good indicators of age.

    Edouard Pinaud from 1877 to 1945.The late 1700s origins of the company are obscure, but in 1810, M. Besancon established as small shop that was later purchased by M. Legrand. The business was acquired by Edouard Pinaud, and shop was renamed A la Corbeille Fleurie. From 1840, all products were sold under the Ed. Pinaud name, even though there were many changes to the company name. In 1852, Emilie Meyer became a partner and the business was renamed Pinaud et Meyer, and a second shop, Parfumerie de la Noblesse opened. Business success led to appointment as perfumer to all European courts around 1860.In 1872, ,Meyer's son-in-law, Victor Klotz became partner. After participation in the 1873 Vienna Exhibition, Pinaud became a household name. The company participated in many exhibitions during the 19th century and was awarded many prizes.  The company was a major exporter, especially to the United States, where many Pinaud bottles can be found.At the turn of the century, the Ed. Pinaud building was completed in New York. In 1905, the company was renamed Victor klotz et Cie, later H. et G. Klotz Family business until 1931.

    SMITH, KLINE & FRENCH CO. of PHILADELPHIA. In 1830, John K. Smith opened his first pharmacy in Philadelphia. Over the years the Smith, Kline and Company favorably amalgamated with the French, Richard and Company because of their successful management decisions. In 1891, Smith, Kline and Company acquires French, Richards and Company, which provides the company with a greater portfolio of consumer brands. It changed its name to Smith Kline & French Laboratories to focus more on research in 1929. Years later, Smith Kline & French Laboratories opened a new laboratory in Philadelphia; furthermore, it bought a laboratory called Norden Laboratories which was doing research into animal health to benefit their research in various other areas.

    William H. Brown & Bros (also called Brown & Brothers) perfumery was located in Baltimore, Md. Their bottles are hard to find and I have named all of those I could find in advertisements of the era, so they may have been originally launched years before. I am sure there are more, so if you know of any,  please let me know. I believe their perfume company was established in the mid 1800s. In 1871, their warehouse was destroyed by a storm. They trademarked a perfume called Violet Simplicity in 1900.

In 1987, Charles of the Ritz perfume company was sold to Revlon, in 2002, Revlon discontinued the Charles of the Ritz name, and you will find Charles of the Ritz perfumes under the Revlon name.

    Mary Chess of New York City.  Established in 1932 by Grace Mary Chess Robinson on Park Avenue, small shop opened in 1933. Became a very important perfumer after she introduced "Chess Pieces" in 1938. These figural perfume bottles were in the shape of chess pieces, an artful play on her name. Mary Chess used only natural ingredients in her perfumes, and her first perfume was White Lilac.  I am sure there might be more perfumes to be found, if I left one out, let me know.

  • Molinard Perfumes and Concreta

    Brief History:

    In 1849, a chemist named Molinard Jeune concocted excellent perfumed waters in the secrecy of his laboratory which he then sold from a small boutique in the center of town. The reputation of Molinard's perfumes grew and became established with the creation in 1921 of Habanita, a perfume that to the day remains a great classic.

    CONCRETA: 

    "The genuine wax of the flowers, used directly as a perfume, Just a touch behind the ear, in the hair, on the eyebrows, on the linings of your coat, quite enough to be perfumed.", states a vintage Concreta advertisement.  In 1925, Molinard created the first solid perfumes, called concreta. These solids were the genuine wax from the flowers. This alcohol free formula, is a very guarded secret and has even been patented by Molinard. It is more concentrated than any other perfume, and will last a lot longer as well. Even vintage concreta still retains a strong scent.

    These vintage pieces are presented in little bakelite balls, berets, dice and in flowerpot shaped containers. A very rare set of concreta is the "Les Diamants de la Couronne", this set had five cubes of white bakelite which was swirled with red, green, orange, blue or black, they were housed in an oval box.

    The tops of concreta pots are handpainted, usually with flowers or figures. The labels on the base tell you which perfume is inside. The oldest concreta are the ones that have the ball shaped lids, the later ones are flowerpot  or dice shaped. In the 1940s, all three shapes were offered in an advertisement. Concreta was also available in wooden dice containers, called Le Poker, probably around the 1940s onward.

    Concreta make awesome little collectibles as each one is one of a kind, you might find a tropical scene,Spanish ladies, castle, Flapper girl smoking, flowers,butterflies, or any other motifs on the little pots. Some sellers on ebay even sell little display stands for solid perfumes.In addition to the concreta pots, there are plenty of Molinard Concreta advertisements out there to add to your collection too!

    Molinard's Concreta is still being produced today and sells for $65 retail, comes housed in a beautiful goldtone compact and beautifully packaged, they come in some old favorites as well as newer scents:

  • De Vigny Perfumes

    In this guide I have listed the various perfumes presented by de Vigny from 1921 to 1952.

    de Vigny was established in 1919 by Lucien Vogel with help of his brother Jacques, a perfumer who was later associated with the companies Dana & Molyneux. The company was located at 416 rue Saint-Honore,Paris.

    The company and products were named de Vigny after the poet Alfred de Vigny.  From the beginning, de Vigny introduced perfumes with two distinct personalities- the humorous and the ethereal.

    Michel de Brunhoff designed such notable comical perfumes as Le Golliwogg, Le Chick-Chick, Guili-Guili and Be Lucky.

    Charles Martin created fabulous advertisements and for the ethereal luxury presentations with bottles designed by Lalique, primarily seen in the La Gazette du Bon Ton. Vogel founded Le Gazette du Bon Ton , Jardin des Modes and French Vogue in collaboration with his wife Cosette and her brother, Michel de Brunhoff. The three Lalique bottles used for the early advertisements were Musky, Ambre and Jamerose.

    The company changed their name to Les Parfums de Luxe SA 1921. de Vigny was awarded a gold medal in 1925 at the Paris Exhibition.

    After 1929, without the artistic and creative involvements of Vogel, Martin, Lalique, and de Brunhoff,  the luxurious quality of designs for new presentations declined considerably. From 1933, the de Vigny name was gradually simplified to Vigny.

    The most common of all Vigny perfumes to be found is the adorable Golliwogg. The stopper is made up of black glass and has real seal fur for hair. The earlier bottles of 1919 were frosted glass, and the later ones from the 1920s were in clear glass. Baccarat supplied many of the bottles. The bottles as well as the graphics were designed by Michel de Brunhoff. The rare original bottle has black glass stopper with molded face and hair. the figural bottles ranged in five sizes from the largest at 6 3/4" tall down to the smallest 2 3/4" tall. Don't forget to look for the fanciful powder boxes emblazoned with dear Golli's head and the lotion, tester and sample bottles and the rare bronze and enamel pins with a little grate to hold perfume soaked cotton balls.

    One of the more whimsical perfume bottles was the one made for Le Chick-Chick, which was made for Easter. The crystal bottle had gilded wings  which formed the body of the chick, and had an oversized gilded cap which formed the head. These bottles came in three different sizes from the largest at 5 3/8" tall, to a medium size 3 3/8" and the smallest at 2 7/8" tall. They came housed in floral papered boxes with a drop front

    .A rare bottle to come across is for the scent Guili-Guili. This perfume was based on a real life magician and illusionist from Alexandria Egypt. The bottle had a head and foot of carved mahogany, the head resembled an African mask, covered the inner stopper, while the foot enabled the paneled crystal bottle to stand upright. This bottle stood at 6 1/4" tall.

    The perfumes were simply named after letters of the alphabet, A, B, C, later on came J & N or clever phrases like :Tout Lelong (All Lelong- tout le long means "all along").

    A friendly ebayer sent me some information about the Royal Regiment line:

    "Here is some that I know. Max Factor released Royal Regiment Leather in 1965 and produced it until about 1975. They eventually produced five fragrances, Leather, Dry Lime, Sandalwood, Wild Briar, and Oakmoss. It was presented in an amazing assortment of packaging. I'm always surprised when I see a new (to me) one. There seem to be different packaging in Europe than we had here in the States. The basic theme in America was military. There were at least five statues of guardsmen, there were drums, and cannon. There was Talc and soap, including one on a rope, and one in the shape of a life sized cannon ball, sliced into eight pieces. I have photos of all that I have collected. I have missed some great pieces, and I have found some better ones on ebay. Some have never been opened. Surprising how many after this amount of time. I began using the stuff in 1967 when I was going through Marine Security Guard School in Washington D.C."

    Ybry, Fioret & Myon Perfumes

    In this guide I will discuss the various perfumes presented by Ybry, Myon and Fioret.Don't forget to look for the vintage advertisements for these perfumes. They make excellent additions to your collection and can be found at reasonable prices on ebay.

    YBRY

    Ybry of Paris France, they also had an office in New York City. Ybry perfumes were advertised as being "the most expensive in the world".  Ybry was a luxury perfume house founded in 1925 by a man named Simon Jaroslawski and went into liquidation in 1932. His other two perfumery companies are Fioret and Mÿon, whose perfumes I will also list below.

    Jaroslawski collaborated with Baccarat for perfume bottles but also had commissioned Lalique to create some luxurious glass medallions for the perfume bottles for Ybry and Fioret (alternative name of Les Parfums des Jardins de Fioret). Lalique also produced bottles for the Fioret line.

    Baccarat produced the classic Ybry perfume bottle, a flattened square in colored crystal. These beautiful bottles were made by overlaying colored crystal on white crystal to create an opaque and unique luminescent quality, this same glass was also used for the shortlived Myon perfume line.

    Each different color, was related to a particular perfume, and to a different gem.  The colors range from a red to a pink, slag green to a darker green, jet black, orange to butterscotch, deep purple to lavender. Most of the time, the bottles had matching enameled and gilded metal covers. These covers were placed over the inner stoppers at an angle on one corner of the bottle.

    The atomizers came equipped with either chrome or gilt brass hardware. The colored bottles had round gold foil embossed labels, the black bottles had square, silver foil embossed labels. This bottle recieved a patent granted on 1925.

     

    The bottles ranged in size from 7 7/8" tall down to diminutive sample sizes of just 1 3/8" tall. Check your bottles for the Baccarat acid stamp or paper label. The smallest bottles I have read, were not made by Baccarat.

    The presentation boxes were covered with fine leather and often had color-coordinated small triangular segments and luxurious silk tassles. Other boxes looked like little suitcases and were covered in suede , and held multiple presentations, such as three bottles and two atomizers. Another rare example held two bottles, one atomizer and a Lalique medallion attached to the case with a silk tassel.

    If your bottle is missing a label, the perfumes of Ybry are easy to figure out from the colors of their bottles:

    • Femme de Paris  in green.
    • Desire du Coeur  in red.
    • Desire du Coeur in pink.
    • Devinez  in orange.
    • Mon Ame  in purple.
    • Amour Sauvage  in black.

    The perfumes of  the Ybry line:

    • 1925 Desir du Coeur
    • 1925 Amour Sauvage

    Lubin Perfumes

    In this guide I have listed the various perfumes produced by Lubin of Paris France & New York City.

    Lubin was established in 1798 by Pierre-Francois Lubin as Aux Armes de France. Lubin claimed ownership and use of all the secret beauty formulas of the French court. His success was so great that in the 1800s, Lubin became the favorite supplier of most European royal courts.The firm fortunately fell into the hands of Princess Borghese, who allowed her name to be linked with the Lubin creations. The house of Lubin was the first to solicit the North American market, aiming at the plantation culture of the South.  Felix-Andre Prot successed Lubin in 1853 and the company passed onto his heirs in 1885 and became Paul Prot & Cie around 1900.
