Feerie by Rigaud c1937

Launched in 1937, Feerie by Rigaud emerged during a time of profound transition in both the world and the perfume industry. The late 1930s were marked by significant cultural shifts as societies grappled with the aftermath of the Great Depression and faced the impending threat of World War II. In the world of fashion and luxury, there was a growing desire for escapism and a return to glamour, reflecting an emerging trend of sophistication and a longing for beauty amid global uncertainties.

Feerie, the French word for "fairyland" or "enchantment," evokes a sense of magic and wonder. Choosing this name for a perfume was a strategic move by Rigaud to captivate the imagination of women seeking an escape from the harsh realities of the time. The term "Feerie" suggests a whimsical, dreamlike quality, perfectly suited to a fragrance designed to transport its wearer to a realm of elegance and allure.

The name "Feerie Moderne" underscores the perfume's modernity while retaining its enchanting essence. It was intended to appeal to women who were drawn to sophistication and fantasy, reflecting the glamorous side of life that was often portrayed in cinema and high fashion of the period. These women, likely socialites or those with a penchant for luxury, would have been attracted to Feerie for its ability to evoke a sense of magical transformation and sophisticated charm.

Un Air Embaume by Rigaud c1914

In 1914, Henri Rigaud became sole proprietor of the French perfumerie Veuve Rigaud, whose name then became simply “Rigaud.” For the occasion, he launched the famous perfume “Un Air EmbaumĂ©.” (Perfumed Breezes). Created by Marius Reboul, it was a remarkable success; 30 years after its creation, its users were still faithful to it.

Celebrity Fragrances

The usage of celebrities to endorse or create new popularity of a new perfume has been done since the 1800's. The names of well known personalities of the day helped sell perfumes and beauty products to those who wished to emulate the stars themselves.

Some perfumes were created for the celebrities to be sold under their own names, some were inspired by the person and some were only used to advertise the products.

Early celebrity perfumes included Eau de Cologne Napoleon, Jean Marais

La Rose Jacqueminot was launched by Coty to honour the French general Jacqueminot.

Rigaud launched a line of perfumes named for popular opera singers of the day, Mary Garden, Geraldine Farrar, Emma Trentini, and Carolina White. Mary Garden, had an entire line named after her consisting of perfume, facial powders, toilet water, lipstick, creams, and an assortment of other toiletries.. However, Rigaud may have introduced some Mary Garden products without her consent. As a result, Garden sued Rigaud in 1937, and won! Rigaud wasn't the only perfume company to use Mary's name, the McLean Perfume Co of Detroit launched Mary Garden perfume before 1904, a label around the neck of a bottle states that it won a Grand Prize at the Saint Louis Fair in 1904.

Other perfumes were named for Marthe Chenal.

Antique Perfumes with Egyptian Themes

As the 19th century gave way to the 20th, the craze for all things Egyptian, known as Egyptomania, reached new heights. Capitalizing on this fascination, perfume companies began to market their products with lavishly designed packaging that featured intricate ancient Egyptian themes. Perfume bottles were crafted to resemble artifacts such as scarabs, sphinxes, and pyramids, often adorned with hieroglyphics and vibrant colors reminiscent of the Nile's treasures.

Cosmetic lines embraced this trend with eyeshadows, lipsticks, and rouge presented in ornate containers inspired by the rich aesthetics of pharaonic tombs. Powder boxes, a staple on every vanity, were transformed into miniature works of art, mimicking the opulence of Cleopatra's era. These items were not just beauty products but also decorative pieces that allowed women to experience a slice of the exotic and mysterious world of ancient Egypt from the comfort of their own homes.

By incorporating these Egyptian-themed luxuries into their daily routines, women could evoke the grandeur and mystique of a distant, enigmatic civilization. It was a way to transcend the ordinary, bringing a sense of adventure and historical romance into the intimate setting of their boudoirs.

L'Origan by Coty c1905

L'Origan by Coty was launched in 1905, a time when the world was on the cusp of modernity but still deeply rooted in the traditions and sensibilities of the 19th century. This era, often referred to as the Belle Époque in France, was characterized by cultural flourishing, artistic innovation, and a sense of optimism before the upheaval of World War I. The name "L'Origan," meaning "marjoram" in French, evokes the quintessential landscape of Provence, a region in southeastern France known for its idyllic countryside. The early 20th-century Provençal fields would have been vibrant with the colors and fragrances of blossoming flowers and aromatic herbs, painting a picture of serene natural beauty and pastoral charm.

The fields of Provence were, and still are, famous for their lush, fragrant flowers. Lavender, with its deep purple hues, was particularly iconic, alongside sunflowers, poppies, and roses. These flowers not only provided a visual feast but also filled the air with their sweet and intoxicating scents. Provence was also renowned for its herbs, including thyme, rosemary, sage, and, of course, marjoram. These herbs were not just culinary staples but integral to the region's olfactory identity, contributing to the complex, herbaceous aromas that perfumed the air.

Vintage Boudoirs of the Stars #1

I love pictures of old boudoirs, especially of those belonging to the stars, whether they were their personal sanctuaries of beauty or sets from a movie. The exquisite vanities filled with all sorts of perfume bottles and dresser accessories never fail to pique my interest.




Barbara Pepper (1915 - 1969) - Photo via Rantings of a Modern Day Glamour Girl. In this photo I can identify several perfume bottles of Guerlain's Vol de Nuit/Sous Le Vent, Chanel, Caron's Bellodgia, Caron's Pois de Senteur de Chez Moi, a Lalique perfume bottle, Blue Grass by Elizabeth Arden, Ciro's Reflexions, Infusion de Parfum by Ybry, Essence Rare by Houbigant, Patou's Joy, New Horizons by Ciro, Zibeline by Weil, as well as a few Czech bottles and unknown bottles. She is holding the largest size of the Ybry perfumes, which is for the Toilet Water.

Marlene Dietrich (1901 - 1992), she has tons of bottles, everywhere! I see a Lucien Lelong bottle to the left.





Marion Shilling (1910 - 2004) - Photo via Starlet Showcase. Two gorgeous atomizers, probably from Volupte or DeVilbiss and a large Guerlain, either Mitsouko or L'Heure Bleue to her right.




Miriam Hopkins (1902 - 1972) - Photo via Allure. Several Czech perfume bottles shown here, some with intaglio stoppers.





Liz Taylor, I can see some Czech bottles and Caron's Bellodgia, Czech mini bottle as well as other unknown bottles.






Unknown actress/model, various Victorian to 1920s perfume bottles on vanity, mostly the dauber type. Picture looks to be from the late 1930s - early 1940s.



Janet Gaynor, she has a very tall 1920s perfume atomizer on her vanity!



Beverly Roberts, circa 1937, beautiful Czech perfume in the forefront and nice dresser set with portrait shown.








Evelyn Brent, c1930 with her perfume cabinet holding various bottles, including Ybry on the bottom shelf.



Anita Page, c1920s. Many commercial perfumes including Caron's Nuit de Noel, Caron's Naimez Que Moi, and others. She is sniffing the end of a glass dauber from the matching dresser set on her vanity (you can see the atomizer and powder jar just to her right).

Dorothy Lee, c1930, Czech perfume bottles, Ciro's Chevalier de la Nuit on far left, De Raymond's Pinx on right of dog figure.
