A. Boucicaut and Au Bon Marche Perfumes

Aristide Boucicaut for his Paris department store, Le Bon Marche, also known as Maison Aristide Boucicaut. I know there are more perfumes that may be found, but here are all the ones I was able to locate. Soap names will be preceded with Savon.




In 1924, Baccarat produced a crystal bottle for Boucicaut Maison. All dates are circa. Perfumes and soaps can be found with either the Au Bon Marche or A. Boucicaut name on the labels.
