Parfums De Luzy

De Luzy, established in 1917 at 5 rue Ybry, Neuilly (Seine), by Progalia SA .





In addition to perfumes and toilet waters, De Luzy also manufactured cosmetics such as their famous face cream, called Creme de Luzy which came out in 1925 and their fabulous face powder and rouge. However, the company spent most of its money on advertising and presentation and did not turn a profit. The company was liquidated in 1925.

Bourjois and Chanel perfumer Constantin Mikhailovich “Kot” Weriguine had interned at Parfums de Luzy, working under Claude Fraysse.


Italian artist Leonetto Cappiello (1875-1942) was the main graphic designer for de Luzy and Daver.

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.
