Description: 1929 HOUBIGANT PARIS FRENCH PERFUME COSMETIC COMPACT BEAUTY ART DECO AD 29663 DATE OF THIS ** ORIGINAL ** ILLUSTRATED COVER: 1929SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS/DESCRIPTIVE WORDS: Houbigant Parfum is a perfume manufacturer founded in Paris, France in 1775 by Jean-François Houbigant of Grasse (1752–1807). The brand originally sold gloves, perfumes, and bridal bouquets. The original shop À la Corbeille de Fleurs operated at 19, rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Over the centuries, the House of Houbigant became the perfumer to the royal courts of Europe including Napoleon, Napoleon III, Alexander III of Russia, and Queen Victoria. History of perfume In 1882 the House launched Fougère Royale, the first fougère (or 'fern-like') perfume ever created, establishing a new fragrance family which still remains today the most popular family in men's fragrances. During this period, under the direction of the Paris office, offices were established in the United States, England, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Poland, and Romania. The New York office had its own manufacturing facility to distribute Houbigant goods nationwide. Houbigant was also the first perfume house to discover how to isolate particular molecules from natural raw materials—specifically, coumarin, which is isolated from the tonka bean. In 1912, they introduced Quelques Fleurs, the first true multi-floral bouquet ever created. Up to that time, floral fragrances had been mostly single flowers or were blended with herbs and other essences. The Genealogy of Perfumes cites Quelques Fleurs as an innovation that established a totally new fragrance classification and influenced other compositions for years afterwards, including many of today’s important fragrances ILLUSTRATOR/ARTIST: ADVERT SIZE: SEE RULER SIDES IN PHOTO FOR DIMENSIONS ( ALL DIMENSIONS IN INCHES) **For multiple purchases please wait for our combined invoice.
