Welcome!

Welcome to my unique perfume blog! Here, you'll find detailed, encyclopedic entries about perfumes and companies, complete with facts and photos for easy research. This site is not affiliated with any perfume companies; it's a reference source for collectors and enthusiasts who cherish classic fragrances. My goal is to highlight beloved, discontinued classics and show current brand owners the demand for their revival. Your input is invaluable! Please share why you liked a fragrance, describe its scent, the time period you wore it, any memorable occasions, or what it reminded you of. Did a relative wear it, or did you like the bottle design? Your stories might catch the attention of brand representatives. I regularly update posts with new information and corrections. Your contributions help keep my entries accurate and comprehensive. Please comment and share any additional information you have. Together, we can keep the legacy of classic perfumes alive!

Vintage 1920s Swiss Chuit, Naef & Cie Scent Strip Stand

This 1920s Swiss metal scent-strip stand was made by 'Huguenin Freres & Co, le Locle, Switzerland' as indicated from the marks on base: 'HF  HUGUENIN LE LOCLE  SWISS MADE   FAB. SUISSE' for Chuit, Naef & Cie (1895 - 1945) as seen by their monogrammed initials: 'CN CIE' at the foot of the stand.

(Chuit, Naef & Cie is now known as, Firmenich SA, a private Swiss company in the perfume and flavor business.)

The last three images/items (not included in this auction) shows an image of the noted French ("Nose") perfume maker, Jacques Guerlain (1874 - 1963) holding a similar type scent-strip stand in his hand, and a glass scent-strip holder & stand. The glass holder (Porte Mouillette) was produced in the 1960s by Firmenich 'after' the original 1920s version made by French artist/designer Julien Viard for Chuit, Naef & Cie as indicated by their monogrammed trademark logo on base.
