Société des Parfums de Luxe Burval - Saint-Denis, 161, Boulevard Ornano.
Burval was a short lived French perfume company who produced some very lovely Art Deco presentations using Julien Viard bottles. A particularly beautiful presentation is the frosted bottle molded in the shape of an ancient oil lamp with a tiny nude figure nestled into the handle. This extremely rare bottle produced by Depinoix was used for the perfume "Ambre" by Burval, and also for the perfume company Maharajah.
American Perfumer & Essential Oil Review, 1927:
"Burval is a perfumer who endeavors to show his extracts and essences in curiously shaped bottles. "Heliopsis," for example, is a perfume offered for sale in a woman's bust-shaped bottle of an ivory white glass composition, with golden earrings; the card box is of adequate style. Another presentation is made like a small basket full of flowers supported by a wrought-iron triangular footing; this basket is in reality the main body of the bottle containing the perfumed liquid, and it has to be turned upside down, to disclose the neck and stopper hanging between the iron tripod."
