Parfums Blondell

Parfums Blondell was established in 1928 by Les Fourrures E. Blondell. Like other fur companies in the 1920s, such as Les Fourrures Weil and Les Fourrures Max, Blondell decided to introduce their own line of perfumes which would be suitable for wearing with furs. 

In 1928, the uber exclusive Les Fourrures Blondell brought their perfume Le Sauvage (The Savage) onto the scene. The perfume was contained in an elegant Baccarat #655 pyramidal crystal flacon with a unique design etched on the front, it depicted an Native American trapper with a recently killed fox slung over his shoulder, while behind them an elegant Parisienne is shown wearing a lavish fox stole. By today’s standards, this objectionable design would cause an outrage. 

This bottle was also used for the perfume La Faune des Bois.




Later, E. Blondell launched other perfumes without a fur theme, they were also located in the same building as the Myon Perfumery at 11 place de la Madeleine in Paris. They participated in the 1925 Paris Art Deco Expo.

The perfumes of Blondell:

  • 1928 Le Sauvage
  • 1928  La Faune des Bois

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.
