Early 1911 Caron Narcisse Noir Perfume ID#:  11 Perfumer:  Early 1911 Caron Perfume:  Narcisse Noir Description:  This incredible perfume was designed by Ernest Daltroff, who was co-proprietor with Felicie Vanpouille of Caron Paris. Before 1920s, manufacturers used the same bottles. But Caron wanted to create a bottle unique for this wonderful new perfume, so Vanpouille designed a bottle that would stand out from all the rest of the perfumes on the market. This perfume was such a raging success that not only did other pefumers copy the fragrance but they copied the bottle, as well. Caron immediately began to patent their bottles, and other companies followed suit. Caron was in the courts for years about copyright infringement on their designs. Caron was founded in 1903 by Ernest Daltroff. Fascinated by scent, he purchased a perfumery in Asinieres, near Paris, France. He also bought out a shop owned by Anna-Marie Caron and kept the name, thinking that it would sound better for the business . In 1904, Daltroff met a young dressmaker, Felicie Vanpouille. She became his lover and an active business partner, taking over the design and packaging of the Caron products. 1939 brought the threat of war and Daltroff, a Jew, left Paris for Canada. After Daltroff's death in 1941, Vanpouille became the sole owner of Caron. The fragrance was a blend of Orange blossom, bergamot, petitgrain, lemon, rose, jasmine, jonquil, Persian black narcissus, musk, civet, and sandalwood. And I have to say it is the best scent I have ever smelled. This is such a beauty, I hate to part with it. It stands about 1 3/4" tall and has no damage. The bottle is glass and the stopper is black glass with a flower on top. There is a string holding the stopper on the bottle, it is also in excellent condition and I believe may be original. The stopper is clean and the bottle is about 3/4 full. Someone took good care of this one, great addition to your collection! Status:  sold

Frolic By Cheramy Eau De Toilette Perfume ID#:  13 Perfumer:  Frolic By Cheramy Perfume:  Eau De Toilette Description:  Cheramy's first well known perfume was introduced in 1921 by Ramond Couin, called Cappi. The labels on bottles of Cappi products read Cappi and Cheramy New York. In 1922, Houbigant bought Cheramy made it a division to market its lower-priced products primarily to the US market. Bottles created in the 1930s list both New York and Paris on them. I believe this bottle was created within 6 or 7 years of the buy out, as the label reads Cheramy New York. Permit S.D.A.N.Y. 2269, Comp'd in U.S. Cap. 4. oz Net. It is 4 1/2" tall and 2 3/4" at its widest point and 1 1/2" thick. It is a heavy gorgeous bottle with diagonal ribbing around the bottle and a complimentary cream colored bakelite cap that is also sturdy. Has Cheramy in raised lettering on the bottom of the bottle, and the number 1. I believe this may be a very rare bottle. The number 1 may indicate the first scent created and marketed after the merger. Or perhaps this was their first bakelite capped bottle after the glass manufacturers had installed the new bottling machines that allowed them to create bottles in one process with the outside screw threads on the bottles. It does have seams going down both sides of the entire bottle through the neck. But insead of having a flat top it has a top groove to the bottle. I have not seen this on another bottle. It is a quality machine made 1925-1929 heavy walled bottle. The label shows hanging paper laterns and just says "frolic". This seems to me to also reflect the era of the late 1920s. The thin paper label is dirty and a little faded. And does no justice to this beautiful bottle. But it is intact. Now the best part of this bottle is that when I found it is was sealed, with a silver lining on the bottle opening with most of the contents inside. Later when I went to show it to someone and unscrewed the top, the bottle hissed as I was opening it, and the silver foil stayed in the lid. Sigh. I guess I had tightened it too much. Now the foil comes on and off the lid, staying on the bottle. And the liquid appears to be evaporating. I won't open it again. Although it is very pleasant smelling and not as alcoholic smelling as other old Toilettes I have smelled. Status:  sold

Cheramy Sandrine Parfum Perfume ID#:  199 Perfumer:  Cheramy Perfume:  Sandrine Parfum Description:  First released in 1922 and now discontinued. It had a clear plastic cover over the base of the box, but I don't have the cover. I beleive this is from the early 1970s, although I saw that one sold on Worthpoint and the description said theirs was from the 1940s, and it looked exactly like mine, with the plastic cover. But since clear plastic wasn't used until the 1950s, their description seems like misinformation. Notes are Jasmine and Sandalwood. Really nice stuff in unused condition. Status:  sold

Vivienne Narcissus Perfume Bottle Perfume ID#:  240 Perfumer:  Vivienne Perfume:  Narcissus Perfume Bottle Description:  This is a very cool bottle. It has its label around the neck stating it is Narcissus and the one on the back says Vivienne, Reg. Pat. Pending, New York Paris. It has enamelled flowers on the front side, and the foil label with the name of the perfume on the back side. Has a blue stopper, that I don't know if is original or not. The size makes sense to the size of the bottle but the cork has been replaced and so it is not possible to authenticate if the blue colored stopper was part of he original design of the bottle. Sure looks great with the blue stopper. I don't recall seeing another blue stopper like this on any bottle. So the stopper alone is cool, and then the bottle is so unique. Great display piece as it pops out at you in a group of bottles. Real eyecatcher! Can't find any information about this company. I can date the bottle by the fact that it has an applied bottom from a 3 part mold, which was just coming into fashion from 1929 on. Probably also has an applied neck, which would make it a 4 part mold. Status:  sold
