The Oakland Tribune on November 29, 1934, highlighted Anny Blatt's creative endeavors, noting her versatility and innovative spirit. Known primarily for her elegant knitwear, Blatt extended her design prowess to children's fashion, crafting a charming series of models for ages three to fourteen. This expansion into children's clothing showcased her ability to blend practicality with style, ensuring that even the youngest could enjoy the refined elegance of her designs.
Alongside her work in fashion, Blatt introduced a new fragrance, aptly named "Parfum d'Anny," as a gesture of good fortune. This perfume was crafted with the active, modern woman in mind, intended for sports and outdoor activities. "Parfum d'Anny" was celebrated for its refreshing and refined character, infused with a delightful woodsy tang that added a touch of nature's vibrancy. This fragrance perfectly encapsulated Blatt's unique blend of sophistication and accessibility, offering a scent that was both invigorating and refined, much like her celebrated knitwear.

One wonders: why the shirt makers, the modiste, the shoemakers should not have too, their little perfumes? Nothing seemed to be able to prepare Carrère for the art of perfumer. Or rather yes, because the most known couples, the most expensive artists to the public, came to sit at his tables, to declaim, sing, act or talk ......."
