Paquerettes by Roger et Gallet: launched in 1913.
Fragrance Composition:
So what does it smell like? There is no information on it's composition, therefore I am going to assume Paquerettes was a floral bouquet odor as the name means "daisy" and the bottle's stopper is molded with daisies.
Interestingly, the daisy was part of secret code called the Language of Flowers, here are some of the "meanings" for daisies:
- Daisy, Garden—I share your feelings.
- Daisy, Michaelmas—Farewell.
- Daisy, Red—Beauty unknown to possessor.
- Daisy, White—Innocence.
- Daisy, Wild—I will think of it.
Bottle:
The exquisite flacon used for Paquerettes was made by Rene Lalique in 1913. The bottle is a plain clear triangular body with nearly circular tiara stopper decorated with daisies with stems emanating from the tiara stem emulating a vase of flowers. The bottle stands 3.75" tall and has a cellophane label on the front. It was housed in a presentation box covered in orange paper. This appears to be the only bottle style used for the perfume as I have not found another.
Fate of the Fragrance:
Discontinued, date unknown, probably in the late 1920s. It was still being sold in 1925.
