L'Amour de l'art, 1950:

"Vive la Vie by Jeanne Piaubert: It's a cry of happiness, a dazzling fanfare that seems to escape from a precious bottle, in Murano glass! A perfume of great luxury that brings its exhilaration...It looks like a ray of light playing with the blue reflections of brown hair.

Très en Forme by Jeanne Piaubert: Chic, smart, 'o.k.', catchy like a jab, this 'up to date' perfume suits fair complexions. It comes in a precious bottle, iridescent like a rainbow and blond like the reflections of gold."

Her creations seem to embody not just scents but emotions and experiences, as if capturing a moment of joy or vitality in a bottle. The descriptions of her perfumes, "Vive la Vie" and "Très en Forme," evoke imagery of luxury, happiness, and sophistication, with the use of phrases like "a cry of happiness" and "chic, smart, 'o.k.'" It's fascinating how she associates her fragrances with specific characteristics and even suggests which type of complexion they might suit best.

Fate of the Fragrances:

Discontinued and very hard to find today.

If someone manages to find a bottle of one of Jeanne Piaubert's discontinued perfumes, it's like discovering a hidden treasure—a rare and precious find that holds the essence of a bygone era.
