Parfumerie Brecher

Parfumerie Brecher, founded by Paul Brecher in Pontoise around 1910, underwent a significant change in ownership after 1918 when Jacques Ernest Mazurier took over. Mazurier relocated the company to 10 Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle in Paris. Under Mazurier's ownership, the perfumes were labeled as 'Aux Perfumeries Reunites'.

The company had affiliations with Benoit and Marquis de Elorza, indicating its network and possibly collaborations within the perfume industry during that era.
