Les Parfums d’Argelys

Les Parfums d’Argelys of Paris.


The perfumes of d'Argelys
:

  • 1925 Amante
  • 1925 Les Fleurs d'Argelys
  • 1925 Amour Sans Fin
  • 1925 Eau de Cologne d'Argelys 
  • 1925 Origan Vestale
  • 1925 Pourquoi je t'aime
  • 1930 Cri du Jour


Associated Brands:

Les Parfums d'Arguilla, associated with Parfums Jean Florian (Jean Florian listed as a bankrupted retailer in wholesale perfumery at 31 avenue de l'Opera in Paris in The Moci: International Trade Monitor from 1960). Probably same company as d'Argelys.

I believe that the company was first named d'Argelys, then changed to d'Arguilla and then d'Aguila by the 1940s. The d'Argelys company may have been used for the French and US market, and the other two for the South American market.
  • 1920 Amante 
  • 1920 Eau de Cologne d'Argelys 
  • 1927 Rêve de Noël  
  • 1930 Carnaval de Fleurs  
  • 1930 Amour Sans Fin  


 Les Parfums d'Aguila: (same company as above?)
  • 1945 Carnaval de Fleurs, presented in music boxes  
  • 1945 Reve de Noel, presented in music boxes  



Bottles:



The black bottle and the identical bottle in clear glass used for Amante and Eau de Cologne d'Argelys was made by H. Saumont glassworks in France. This bottle was used by other companies as well such as Miro Dena.
