Maudy & De Musset Perfumes

Maudy of 7 rue Lilas, Colombes (Seine) France, was established in 1928 by Adrienne Foy,  they were affiliated to de Musset and produced luxury presentations..




De Musset was established in New York in 1928 by Marcel Foy in New York in 1928; launched a range of fragrances in c1920 and 1930's and remained in business of short duration. Associated with Legrain.



I believe that De Musset used the perfumes from Maudy, gave them slightly different names and repackaged them for sale in the USA. Both Maudy and De Musset used bottles from Depinoix and Baccarat.
