The Parfums et Produits de Beauté of Ernest Coty, was a Parisian perfume and cosmetics firm established in 1917 by Ernest Coty and a M. de Bertalot who had just before established Ramses, another perfume company.
Original shop established by M. de Bertalot at 8 bis, rue Martel, Paris in 1917; Ernest Coty and his wife with financial support from the perfume exporters Orosdi-Back acquired the business; managed by Leon Orosdi.
Intentionally traded on similar lines, even down to the packaging as Francois Coty, who took them to court; this ruined business although Ernest Coty produced his own fragrances and cosmetics under own name till the mid 1930’s
Ernest Coty was not related to Francois Coty or the perfumery firm of the same name, however, Ernest traded under the Coty name to bank on the reputation that Coty's perfumes had built up so successfully. Francois Coty had filed a lawsuit both in the United States and France and M. de Bertalot was imprisoned. As a result, Ernest Coty's fake Coty perfume business Parfums De Grande Luxe, Inc. was dissolved but he still continued to trade under the name Ernest Coty well into the 1930s. Ernest Coty was enjoined from using "Ernest Coty" for perfumes and toilet preparations unless accompanied with "Not connected with the original Coty." Coty, Inc.
The defendant, Parfums de Grand Luxe, Inc., is a corporation organized under the laws of the state of New York, and claims the agency for similar articles manufactured in France by Ernest Coty under a contract with him dated November, 1922.
