Les Parfums d'Ysiane

Ysiane of 38 rue d'Enghien,Paris France. Established by D. Ysiane around 1925, a cosmetic and perfume house. Although the company was short lived, they managed to produce some charming presentations. They were affiliated to Parfumerie Diaphane.






The perfumes of Ysiane:

  • 1922 Coquelicot Bleu 
  • 1925 Saturnale
  • 1926 Le Collier de Perles
  • 1927 A Troublante Fleur
  • 1927 Les Nocturnes de Chopin


Bottles:


The perfume Saturnale was housed in a Depinoix bottle designed by Julien Viard. This bottle was originally used by Ysiane in 1927 for their perfume Saturnale, which was rebranded Shanghai by Marcel Raffy and released in 1930.






PTM, 1927:
"Then there is Ysiane's "Les Nocturnes de Chopin," a lovely gift in it's black and gold bottle."




The ad for the perfume Le Collier de Perles was subtitled with "dans la coupe sacrée des offrandes des danseuses du temple ont effeuillé les couronnes des jasmin."  Based on this description, the perfume probably smelled of jasmine.





The bottle for La Troublant Fleur was housed in a wonderful bottle produced by Depinoix, see the original image from a 1926 ad below.

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.
