Early 1911 Caron Narcisse Noir Ernest Daltroff Click on each photo for larger view of it 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! sold
