The perfumes of De Heriot:
Please note: the name Hight of Delight was trademarked in 1921 for a type of candy, it is not related in any way to de Heriot or their perfume of the same name.
Motion Picture, 1944:
"We have it on good authority that servicemen go for light floral fragrances rather than lush heavy ones. With this in mind, we'd like to call your attention to the De Heriot line of colognes, perfumes, dusting powders and sachets. Wood Lilac and Parma Violet are true as the flowers themselves, while White Lace is a delicate bouquet. Prices start at $ 1.25."
The New Yorker, 1957:
"At Altman, de Heriot's shy Parma Violet and French Lilac are encased in charming natural-wicker baskets.A basket of three sachets in either of these is $1.65, and there are all kinds of sets, combining sachets, toilet water, creme de bain, and the like, and ranging up to $ 8.25."
