An unusual perfume bottle was spotted on ebay France...the gorgeous and familiar bottle from Coty was presented with a most intriguing label...it merely says "Coty Parfum Sans Nom". ...so I thought this was strange...I looked all over and could not find this name anywhere in my books or on the internet...so what do we really have here...is it a one off perfume that didn't do so well so Coty sacked it? or...was it a prototype?
From the bottle, it is the old Lalique design that has the "briar" stopper, made by Coty's own glassworks...Do you have any information to share?
The mysterious "Coty Parfum Sans Nom" certainly piques curiosity! While there might not be extensive information readily available, there are a few possibilities to consider:
Without further information or documentation from Coty or other reliable sources, it's challenging to determine the exact nature of "Coty Parfum Sans Nom." However, its mysterious nature adds to its allure for collectors and perfume enthusiasts alike. If you're interested in acquiring it, consider reaching out to the seller for more details or perhaps taking a leap of faith and adding this intriguing piece to your collection!

- Limited Edition or Special Release: It's possible that "Coty Parfum Sans Nom" was a limited edition or special release that didn't gain widespread recognition or distribution. Such releases are often produced in smaller quantities and may not be extensively documented.
- Prototype or Test Batch: Another possibility is that it was a prototype or test batch that never made it to full production. Perfume houses often create numerous prototypes during the development process, and not all of them make it to market.
- Mislabeling or Misidentification: Occasionally, items listed for sale may have inaccurate or misleading descriptions. It's possible that the bottle labeled as "Coty Parfum Sans Nom" could be a mislabeled or misidentified product.
- Regional or Niche Release: It could have been a regional or niche release that was only available in certain markets or for a limited time, making it more obscure and harder to find information about.

Hi, I know this post is about 10 years old, but I have just found a photo of an EXACTLY the same bottle of perfume, made by Coty, but the perfume it held was Miguet des Bois introduced in 1923. The liquid in the bottle is green and when I saw it, i thought about Veronique Coty's Spoturno Perfume release. It was only released last month, but the bottle design is very similar. If you're interested, I can email you a photo I found.
ReplyDeleteMy late father bought my late mother San Nom by Coty in France in January 1946 for her 25th birthday. I have my parents letters..He was in the British army in the No.1 Training Team with the French army he wrote to Mum who was herself in the army still serving in Belgium.. "There is a luxury tax here but the French Gov. have made a concession to allied troops for articles of French manufacture which are being sent out of the country. So I bought the scent at Marie Antoinettes at normal civvy price including tax and the madame packed it up and gave me a receipt. Then had to take the package to a Naafi packing and dispatch office where it was sealed down addressed sent off and all the tax refunded ! That is why, sweet, all the love and kisses were with the letter which you now have ! My mother never forgot the perfume & was upset I could not find the bottle when I cleared her old bedroom in 2017 but we did find your post that brought back memories - only today in an old box did I find my father's letter.
