Parfums Rue Dee was located at East 30th Street, New York. They launched some fragrances starting in the early 1930s. I do not think that this company existed past WWII. their items are pretty rare.

Parfums Jacques Griffe
Jacques Griffe, born in Carcassonne, France, in 1910, was a remarkable figure in the world of fashion, known for his mastery of garment construction and his innovative use of fabric. His early career was shaped by the influence of his mother, a talented milliner, and his initial training as a tailor. However, it was his time spent with the legendary couturier Madeleine Vionnet that profoundly impacted his approach to design. Under Vionnet’s tutelage, Griffe honed his skills in handling the bias cut, a technique that would become a signature element in his work.
After refining his craft with Vionnet, Griffe went on to establish his own fashion house in the 1940s. His designs were characterized by their bold use of color and luxurious fabrics, reflecting his love for strong visual statements. Griffe was not only a master of construction but also a visionary who brought a sense of modernity and sophistication to his creations. His work resonated with the elegance of his mentor, Vionnet, while also incorporating his distinct flair for innovation.
Griffe’s career was also shaped by another significant influence—Captain Molyneux, a revered designer of the time, whom Griffe succeeded in the fashion world. This trio of influences—his mother’s artistry, Vionnet’s precision, and Molyneux’s legacy—combined to create a designer who was both technically adept and creatively inspired. Griffe’s boutique and ready-to-wear range became synonymous with quality and style, cementing his place as a master of French fashion in the mid-20th century.

Lotion and Lotion Vegetales..What are they?
Often you may come across perfume bottles simply marked 'lotion" or "locion" (when sold in Spanish speaking countries) and wondered what exactly is this so-called "lotion", it doesn't look like any lotion I have ever seen before. When we think of lotions, one immediately thinks of a thick, opaque milky fluid to be rubbed over the body, these formulas contain emollient ingredients to soften and replenish dry, flaky skin.
