Les Parfumeries de Gabilla

Established in 1910 by Henriette Gabilla, a Syrian perfumer and cosmetician. Gabilla was a major exporter of luxury to lower priced presentations worldwide.

Henriette Gabilla moved to 6 rue Edouard VII in Paris and purchased a perfume factory in 1910 located 203 rue de Paris, Ivry-Sur-Seine. I have also read that Madame Gabilla, was at one time, perfumer to the Court of Russia.


"Elegance in the Continental Fashion American women of elegance appreciate the fine distinction between perfumes made in Paris and others, this difference is characteristic of Gabilla perfumes. They express Paris, they are Paris with all the chic and subtlety of the French capitol. Each lovely Lalique or Baccarat flacon contains Gabilla's incomparable fragrances, straight from the master artist in France. Gabilla perfumes may be procured from department stores and specialty shops of high standing. GABILLA, Paris, MUSARDISES: the Sports Perfume, MON CHERI, MODA."
