Parfums Charbert, Inc., was a New York-based company located at 730 5th Avenue. The firm was established in 1933 by William Gaxton, Charles Einfield, and Herbert Harris, under the name Parfums Charbert. The company's focus was on creating perfumes and cosmetics tailored to the American middle market, offering products that combined accessible luxury with affordability.
The name "Charbert" is believed to have originated as a blend of the names Charles Einfield and Herbert Harris, with "Char" derived from Charles and "Bert" from Herbert. This naming approach highlighted the partnership and personal connection between the founders, which was a common branding strategy during that era.
Charbert's products reflected the growing demand for elegant and fashionable cosmetics that resonated with the aspirations of middle-class American consumers. Positioned as a domestic alternative to European luxury brands, Parfums Charbert played a significant role in the American beauty industry during the mid-20th century.
