Millat Perfumes and Karoff Perfumes

Millat Parfumeur was established by Arthur R Karoff and his brother Robert B Karoff Jr, in Miami, Florida around 1925, they had an office in Paris. I think that the Karoff perfume company was originally named Millat in the mid to late 1920s and by 1930 was renamed Karoff.

Karoff Perfume Company, also known as Karoff Creations, Karoff LTD and Karoff Originals, established by Robert B Karoff at 347 Fifth Ave New York in 1930; launched a range of fragrances, many dime-store novelties in glass bottles by Owens-Illinois Glass Company, also owned Milart.

Milart Associates, was a sales promotion firm that specialized in dime store products as well as in Christmas mailings postmarked from Santa Claus, Indiana.

Robert B. Karoff was also the creator of all Stuart Products Co. packages and sometimes the same Karoff perfumes and presentations will be marked with the Stuart Products name instead. Stuart Products Co. was established by Wm B. Cohen in St Paul, Minnesota in 1935, became Stuart Co in 1947, specialised in novelty products.

Arthur Karoff was shot and killed while in his car in 1957, the murder remains a mystery even today.
