Cheramy Perfumes

Cheramy was located at 19 rue Cambon in Paris. The company was established by Raymond Couin in 1921. The business was sold to Houbigant in 1922 and became division producing lower-priced products, primarily for US market. Received prize at the Paris Exhibition in 1925.
     

Parade, 1927:
"Here are two perfumeries: at Lanvin, the space is vast, around the perimeter of the room, a few display cases are placed in which the perfume bottles are displayed. The architecture is very simple, no unnecessary decoration; in the back, two large glass doors, while on the right a wrought iron grille conceals the elevator cage. We have achieved a promotion of the merchandise, as the directors of this firm certainly wanted. 
The Chéramy perfumery seems more intimate; the space is less vast; the staircase with its frosted glass and wrought iron banister breaks the monotony. On each side, on two counters and in display cases, perfume bottles, sprays and powder boxes are arranged. Basically, the cash counter has very small dimensions to leave as much space as possible for customers who are offered comfortable armchairs to allow them to make their choice in complete peace of mind."
