Volcan D'Amour by Diane Von Furstenberg c1981
Choisi Perfumes
I came across a 1925 ad for the Choisi line of toiletries by a scarce company named D'ruvyl. I had never heard of this company before and was only able to obtain info about it from the advertisement. It seems they had offices in New York and Cleveland. Their French sounding name lent an air of sophisticaion to their humble American roots.
Mappemonde Perfume Bottle c1920s
Very rare perfume bottle from the 1920s. It has a small frosted glass airplane for the stopper, the bottle itself is a large world globe on a pedestal, with clear glass representing the oceans and frosted glass representing the continents. It was made to commemorate the epic of aeronautics. The bottle stands 5" tall x 3.5" diameter.
Used by different perfumers for the South American market. This would have had a black and gold box, cover retained by a pink ribbon, bright interior.
Label in pendant with the inscription "Florence" on one side and design of an airplane on the other (circa 1920).
Reference: Perfume Presentations, p.197. € 850/900
