Parfumerie Hera

Parfumerie Hera, also known as Parfums Hera, established by Marthe-Jeanne Thibault at 81-83 rue de Cherzy, Neuilly, Seine in 1910; cosmetic, perfumes and toiletries. The company also sold gold tipped "Egyptian Soir d'Orient" cigarettes. The company lasted until the late 1920s.

Sketch, 1922:
"Now- that the Hera scents can be obtained in England their irresistible charm is within the reach of all. Delicate and fragrant, they are imprisoned in uniquely shaped bottles which are ornaments in themselves. " Soir d'Orient " breathes of the magic East. Lilac is the very essence of that sweet herald of spring.  The Hera toilet preparations are delightfully- refreshing and beneficial. Blue dentifrice is a natural antiseptic for cleansing the teeth."
