Remiller Perfumes

Remiller Perfumes was launched around 1915 in Paris. They also had a branch in New York City.

Remiller was also associated with Darnee Inc/Darnay of Paris, a subsidiary company of  Owl Drug Store; established in New York in about 1929.

The perfumes of Remiller:

  •  1915 Vernice
  • 1915 Bandolin

Darnay, Inc., a subsidiary company of Owl Drug Store, established sometime in the 1920s. I believe that Darnee was their Parisian counterpart and that Darnay is the Anglicized name for Darnee.

Vernice was their best known line which included perfume, cosmetics, skincare and toiletries for women.

Vernice included:
Perfume
Toilet Water
Complexion Cream
Face Powder
Bath Salts Crystals


Darnee also manufactured rouge, talcum powder, lilac vegetale hair tonic,

    Welcome!

    This is not your average perfume blog. In each post, I present perfumes or companies as encyclopedic entries with as much facts and photos as I can add for easy reading and researching without all the extraneous fluff or puffery.

    Please understand that this website is not affiliated with any of the perfume companies written about here, it is only a source of reference. I consider it a repository of vital information for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by. Updates to posts are conducted whenever I find new information to add or to correct any errors.

    One of the goals of this website is to show the present owners of the various perfumes and cologne brands that are featured here how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances!

    Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table, did you like the bottle design), who knows, perhaps someone from the company brand might see it.

    Also, if you have any information not seen here, please comment and share with all of us.
