Calixte, a fashion designer at 227 rue St.-Honore, Paris, launched a short line of perfumes in the 1940s. These are virtually non-existent today.
The perfumes of Calixte:
- 1944 - Marage
- 1945 - Givré, Parfum d'Hiver
- 1945 - Cuir
- 1947 - Ulysse, Parfum d'Aventure
Femme, 1946:
""Cuir" from Calixte seems to us to be reserved for sportswomen, those who smoke, who drive their cars, who are independent and don't like overly suave perfumes. "Cuir" is a deep perfume. Tenacious, based on leather from Russia."
Bottles:
Ulysse - Amusing presentation of the perfume in the form of a cardboard box lined with titled polychrome paper imitating a postal parcel, interior illustrated with a geographical map containing a standard square bottle in colorless glass, with its illustrated label and its pouch for the bag in suede imitation fabrics.

Givre - Rare modernist bottle in solid colorless pressed glass with a cubic rectangular section, in the shape of a square terminal with protruding gadroons, its flat cap covered with its heavy glass capsule with the same decoration. Bottle also used for the Calixte perfume, Cuir. Image: drouot.
