Les Parfums de Clamy, Creations d'Art

Established by Philippe de Back in Arcade des Champs-Elysées, Paris in 1913. The name was trademarked in 1900.  Full name of company 'Les Parfums de Clamy, Creations d'Art'.


Philippe Back de Surany (1860 Budapest - 1956 Paris), an Egyptologist, son of Maurice Back.
Branch Manager of the Cairo -Back Orosdi Institutions. He was Knighted by the Emperor of Austria in 1909.

Fabrique de parfumerie (Parfums de Clamy), 30, avenue des Champs-Elysées, Paris, et usine à Asnières, 108, avenue d'Argenteuil. — Maison autrichienne. — M. Navarre, liquidateur.

The company produced luxury presentations featuring Lucien Gaillard bottles. Some of the bottles from 1915-1919 were decorated by the painters Robert and Sonia Delaunay, who were friends with Philippe and his wife.




In 1926, the business was directed by Philippe's youngest daughter, Germaine Carvaillo.

The business could not withstand the great Depression and closed in 1930, subsequently, they sold all of their remaining essential oils and materials to Guerlain. The business was acquired by Grenoville in 1943.

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.
