Hetra Perfume

Hetra was a Czechoslovakian perfume company that operated in the 1920s - 1930s. There is virtually no information on this novelty perfume company. Hetra was imported into the USA by Rochambeau.

 They commonly used German glass bottles as well as fine French and Czech crystal bottles for their perfumes.
