Charme Caressant by Dalon c1924

Dalon was established in Paris in 1924 and was affiliated to Pleville, NYAL (Rexall).

Pleville was established by Michel Pleville in 1922 at 38 rue des Mathurins, Paris.

Dalon relaunched Pleville’s 1923 perfume Charme Caressant in 1924, using a new bottle.

Pleville released the perfume Charme Caressant again in 1925 under a new name of Jardin d'Or.

Charme Caressant. This perfume takes it’s name from a cosmetic and toiletry line from Dalon. The line included perfume extract/parfum, face powder in five shades, brilliantine liquid for the hair, vanishing cream, rouge in five shades, toilet water, lipstick in four shades and compacts.
"CHARME CARESSANT BEAUTY PRODUCTS: CHARME CARESSANT FACE POWDER—What entrancing perfume in this exquisite Face Powder. Coupled with the velvety softness of the powder this fragrant perfume has made Charme Caressant the favourite of discerning women. You will like it, too, because it ' clings.' When applied over a foundation of CHARME CARESSANT VANISHING CREAM it will stay on for hours. Dust on liberally with a full puff, then brush off to your liking. Offered in five shades — Rachel, Naturelle, Olive, Suntan, and Blanche. 2/6 and 4/6 a box. CHARME CARESSANT ROUGE—CHARME CARESSANT ROUGE is thrilling ! Petal soft, faintly perfumed, and most important of all, offered in four natural skin tones— Crushed Rose, Orangette, Radiant, and Raspberry. 1/9 a box"
