Marie Earle Perfumes

Established in 5th Avenue New York in 1910.



"How the Marie Earle Preparations Came to America. 
Not so long ago it was necessary to go to Paris to consult Marie Earle. And many women to whom money meant little and beauty much went to Paris for the privilege. Opinions might differ about the several great couturiers, but the beau monde was agreed upon the supremacy of one specialist. If one desired youth and loveliness, the order to one's chauffeur was The Salon de Marie Earle. Several great American shops at the request of various women of society's inner circle installed Marie Earle's Preparations. 
Then Marie Earle herself came to New York, upon the invitation of one of her clients and remained to establish a Salon. At first, she was here for only a brief season annually, now her personal services are available to American women throughout most of the year. 
If you would discover why women who can make unlimited choice, have for years, entrusted all responsibility for their continued youthfulness and charm to Marie Earle, you have, but to try her treatments, either at her Salons, or at home, and her incomparable Preparations. These are just a few of her important products."

"Many, many women have the same inward grace the same subtleties of reliiieiiieiit which mark their social leaders.But with them this charm is both their instinct and their friends tell them this hidden in a diffidence while with the society leaders a poiseful confidence in perfect grooming sets the mind at ease and allows a constant emanation of the radiance from within. It has been the privilege and distinction of Marie Earle to bring this clear physical expression of inward grace to many leaders in the highest social circles of America. Her treatments for preserving the freshness and beauty of the skin have prolonged many a social reign."
"The diva, magnificent, dynamic, acclaimed by all the world. What makes her power? So many others just miss being great. With all the elements of success they still lack the spark that fires a personality with magnetism. They have not poise, assurance, confidence in their ability to charm. It is that which sets a woman apart from mediocrity. Marie Earle has helped many famous women to that final important detail of distinction. By grooming by subtle emphasis here and magical there. Marie Earle transforms shy graces into full charms makes mere wistful prettiness kindle to beauty.

Launched a range of fragrances, cosmetics, skincare, soap and bath tablets between 1920 and mid 1940's. In 1928, they acquired the Rallet Perfume Company. The company used Wheaton bottles for its perfumes. 

The bottles were produced at the TC Wheaton Glass Company of Millville, NJ (close to where I live). Wheaton was founded in 1888 and produced bottles for pharmaceutical use, but also for perfumers. By the 1930s, Wheaton was manufacturing bottles for quality perfume brands, both American and European such as Hattie Carnegie, Adrian, Prince Matchabelli, Liz Claiborne, Anne Klein and Shulton.


Some of the Marie Earle cosmetics and powders came in bakelite containers. Acquired by Coty, Inc in 1928.
