 The Cassandra perfume first came out in 1935 in France,  and it was introduced into the USA in 1936. The perfume was created by Jacqueline Fraysse and took two years to perfect. It was available as parfum, cologne and toilet water.

Maudy & De Musset Perfumes

Maudy of 7 rue Lilas, Colombes (Seine) France, was established in 1928 by Adrienne Foy,  they were affiliated to de Musset and produced luxury presentations..

De Musset was established in New York in 1928 by Marcel Foy in New York in 1928; launched a range of fragrances in c1920 and 1930's and remained in business of short duration. Associated with Legrain.

Les Parfums Godet

Godet Perfumery was established at 37 rue saint-Lazare, Paris in 1901 by Julien-Joseph Godet.

Reve D'Or by LT Piver c1889

Reve D’Or by LT Piver was originally launched in 1889 as a woman’s cologne.

Its French name translates as “dream of gold” or "Golden Dreams" and was named after the particular breed of roses with butterscotch and cream petals.

In 1905 it was slightly reformulated and incorporated methyl aldehyde to give it a sparkling top note. The parfum extrait was reformulated in 1926 by Louis Armingeat.

Mori and Valmy Perfumes

An importing company known as Parfums Francais, Inc of New York was in the business of importing French perfumery essences and blending them domestically in the United States to lower production costs. The company purchased surplus crystal perfume bottles from Baccarat, that I assume were no longer going to be produced. Parfums Francais most likely bought them at a very low wholesale price.

Parfums Francais had various French perfumery concerns under their belt: Mori, Valmy, Parfums d'Anjou, Parfums de Choisy and Parfums Odeon. All five perfume company's logos were designed identically.

Mori, Paris was first established in 1908 in Paris France and may have been affiliated to Fontanis. Mori's operations closed in 1931. I am wondering if they were either absorbed by another company named Valmy or if the company name was changed to Valmy around 1933, as some of Valmy's perfumes had the same names as Mori such as Pour Toi, Viens, L'Heure de Minuit.

Cottan, Diamant Bleu & Mouilleron Perfumes

Mouilleron of 2 quai Billancourt, Billancourt (Seine) France, was established in 1819 and had a successful perfumery company until it was acquired by Cottan in 1935.

Prochaska and Edouardo Perfumes

Prochaska perfumery products of Vienna, became Proka Parfumerie in 1925. It was distributed by Parfums Edouardo.

Cristal Nancy

Sometimes, collectors will come across perfume or cologne bottles acid etched with Cristal Nancy.

Cristal Nancy is not Daum Nancy. Cristal Nancy is the name for Cristalleries de Nancy, established in 1921 on the initiative of Jules Bayet, and located directly across from the famed Daum Nancy glass manufacturer on land donated by the Fruhinsholtz Company. Cristalleries de Nancy poached several of Daum's glass blowers and with their help, produced high end, expensive cut crystal products, mainly perfume bottles, which were their specialty. Auguste Houillon, a talented sculptor created many products for the company.

Muguet de Bois by Coty c1913

Muguet de Bois by Coty: launched in 1913 and created by Francois Coty.
