Le Parfum Ideal by Houbigant c1896

Le Parfum Ideal was created by Houbigant by in house perfumer, Paul Parquet in 1896, but it was launched for the first time at the 1900 Worlds Fair, along with another perfume Coeur de Jeanette.

The quintessential label for Le Parfum Ideal features a Gibson Girl sniffing a flower, this label was made of gilded foil and heavily embossed.

Parfumerie de Jussy Saint-James

Parfumerie de Jussy Saint-James, a prominent manufacturer of fragrances and cosmetics, was originally established under the name Au Jardin Fleuri in the Halle aux Vins district of Paris in 1890. This initial establishment positioned the company at the heart of the thriving Parisian perfumery and wine trade area, where many perfumers and merchants operated.

Originally known as James Ducellier, the business was located at 2 Préau des Eaux-de-Vie, emphasizing its connection to the perfumery and spirits industries. Perfume and alcohol were often closely linked in the 19th century due to the use of alcohol as a solvent in fragrance production. James Ducellier’s establishment likely catered to this burgeoning demand for fine perfumes and cosmetic products during a period when Paris was becoming the global epicenter for luxury goods and personal care items.

As the business evolved, the company saw a change in leadership. Its successor, Veuve L. Dupont et Fils, continued to operate the business, likely bringing a new era of management and potentially expanding the product range or refining its existing offerings. The transition to Veuve L. Dupont et Fils suggests that the family tradition played a significant role in the company’s continuity, maintaining its legacy within the competitive world of French perfumery.

Parfumerie de Jussy Saint-James contributed to the rich tradition of French fragrance and cosmetics manufacturing, sustaining a lineage that began with James Ducellier's pioneering efforts in the late 19th century. Through changes in ownership and branding, the company remained a player in the Parisian perfumery scene, embodying the craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined the French fragrance industry of that era.

L'Institut de Beaute & Klytia Perfumes

L'Institut de Beaute, of 26 place Vendome, Paris. A beauty salon established in 1895 by Victor Francois Merle with Elise-Marie Valentin Le Brun. The beauty salon sold cosmetics, toiletries and some of the finest limited edition perfume presentations, most likely only available at the Paris salon. The salon later moved to 222 rue de Rivoli, Paris. They sold products to the USA under the name Klytia, as this was an affiliated company established in 1895 by Merle.

Madame Valentin Le Brun had royal appointments from the Khedive of Egypt (possibly Abbas Hilmi Pasha), the Queen of England, The Queen of Spain (possibly Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg), Princess Eulalia (Princess Eulalia Maria Antoine Eleonore of Thurn and Taxis) and others. She was also awarded the (Silver Palms medal) as an Officier d'Academie de France.

Klytia is still producing skin care products today, under the Klytia label and the L'Institut de Beaute label (here's a hint for anyone interested in trying their products, I have found plenty of L'Institut de Beaute products at the discount stores Marshalls, and TJ Maxx, all items are priced half or lower of what they retail at higher end stores.)
