Jeurelle Perfumes

Maison Jeurelle-Seventeen, Inc., International Building, Rockefeller Center, New York was established at Fifth Street, New York in 1933, as a division of Colgate-Palmolive-Peet. It was also known as Jeurelle-Seventeen,  the 'seventeen' coming from the 17th floor where the company was located. The Seventeen department produced cosmetics and skin care aimed at teenage girls.

In 1946, Jeurelle, Inc.,a distributor of perfumes, bath preparations and cosmetics, was purchased by Emerson Drug Co.

The company produced extraordinary miniature perfumes, bath salts and other perfumes. Their perfumes were often housed in Czech cut crystal flacons like the ones below.

In 1938, Caron Perfumes sued Jeurelle. The plaintiff, Caron Corporation, has been manufacturing and selling, in bottles, a perfumed bath preparation, known as "Bain de Champagne". The defendant, Maison Jeurelle-Seventeen, Inc., has been manufacturing and selling, in bottles, a perfumed bath preparation, known as "Bain Mousseux". "Mousseux" is translated as "Sparkling".

In 1941, their bath salts were packaged in decorative hobnail glass bottle, one could use it afterwards, it came with a tiny shovel tied on, and the fragrances included pine, rose geranium and bouquet.'

Jeurelle seems to have been in business up until 1953 or so.

Welcome!

This is not your average perfume blog. In each post, I present perfumes or companies as encyclopedic entries with as much facts and photos as I can add for easy reading and researching without all the extraneous fluff or puffery.

Please understand that this website is not affiliated with any of the perfume companies written about here, it is only a source of reference. I consider it a repository of vital information for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by. Updates to posts are conducted whenever I find new information to add or to correct any errors.

One of the goals of this website is to show the present owners of the various perfumes and cologne brands that are featured here how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances!

Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table, did you like the bottle design), who knows, perhaps someone from the company brand might see it.

Also, if you have any information not seen here, please comment and share with all of us.
