Favolys Perfumes

Favolys, established in 1925 at 1 rue Pierre-Joigneaux, Asnieres (Seine) France, by Rene Desseignes who also established Parfumerie Francis in 1924 and Rendes in 1924, all of these companies were very short-lived and their bottles are rare.



Rendes was established by René Desseignes, name derived from 'Ren' from first name, and 'des' from surname.

Favolys was acquired by Nissery and was renamed Favolys Nissery in 1928.

Dolene by Favolys:

The Neo Classical bust of a woman makes up the bottle for Dolene. Made up of frosted glass, and accented painted details. The dome of the head is made up of painted metal which is removable and reveals an inner glass stopper. A small label reading Dolene is on the lower front of the bust. The back of the bust is molded with "I. Leonard". The presentation case is made up of wood covered with green faux leather and the interior is lined with cream colored velour. "Favolys Paris" is printed along the front of the box. Manufacturer of the bottle is unknown, but could be Verreries Brosse or Depinoix.

 

Unknown Bottle for Favolys:

The exquisite 1920s period bottle below is of colorless crystal with enameled coral branches and black enamel at the collar and rectangular base. The cabochon stopper has corresponding enamel. The bottle represents an ancient snuff bottle. The base is molded with "J VIARD" for Julien Viard. A paper label reads "MADE IN FRANCE". Bottle measures, 2 5/8" tall x 1.75" across at its widest. Box measures, 2 7/8" tall x 2" across. x 1 1/8" deep. The box is a slip case design. This bottle is found with either blue or coral colored enamel. It was also used by the Vibert Freres perfumery company. It is 2.75" tall, 1-7/8" wide, and 1" thick.  "J VIARD "is molded on the underside.

La Poupee Parisienne:

This cute novelty bottle was distributed for Favolys by Rochambeau. The label on the bottle reads "Heliotrope Paris" which I think is the name of the perfume. The box says "La Poupée Parisian" which I believe translates to "The French Doll", referring to the bottle shape. It also has a Rochambeau label on the back side of the box lid. Bottle retains most of its original cold paint but it has some spots that have flaked off. Original bow is present. The bottle measures approximately 2.75" tall.
