Petales Froisses by Lanvin: launched in 1926. Created by Andre Fraysse. The name means "crushed petals".
So what does it smell like? It was classified as a woody floral fragrance for women. I have no notes on this perfume, I would need a sample to tell you what it smells like.
The perfume was being sold at 75 cents a dram in 1931.

"Jeanne Lanvin sends her newest perfumes L'Ame Perdue (Lost Soul), Comme ci Comme ca (Like this like that) and her Petales Froisses (Crushed Petals)."
The Straits Times, 20 June 1931:
"The charm of perfumes by Lanvin is impossible to describe. Arpege, Lajea, My Sin, Petales Froisses, in a variety of exquisitely designed bottles have a distinctly exclusive appeal which to me is irresistible."
Bottles:
Producers admonish one to eschew hot water and to run cold water on top of bottle while tapping neck gently with a metal instrument (blunt end of knife or scissors).
Fate of the Fragrance:
Discontinued, date unknown. Still being sold in 1938.
