Hello and welcome! Please understand that this website is not affiliated with Coty in any way, it is only a reference page for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by.

The main objective of this website is to chronicle the history of the Coty fragrances and showcase the bottles and advertising used throughout the years.

However, one of the other goals of this website is to show the present owners of the Coty perfume company how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances!

Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table), who knows, perhaps someone from the current Coty brand might see it.

Also, this website is a labor of love, it is a work in progress and is always being updated with new information as I can find it, so check back often!

Informal Fragrance by Coty c1939

Coty's "Informal Fragrance," launched in 1939, was essentially another term for their Eau de Toilette, emphasizing its lighter and more casual nature compared to the more concentrated Eau de Parfum. 

Advertised as a fresh and delightful option for everyday use, this product was available in many of Coty's popular scents such as Paris, Emeraude, Chypre, L'Aimant, Lilas Pourpre, and L'Origan. 

The marketing highlighted its casual elegance, likening it to the freshness of a cool summer evening and promoting its use for keeping crisp and exquisite all summer long. 

The innovative packaging, including a sky-blue bottle encased in cellophane and the introduction of atomizers, made it convenient and appealing. 

Coty emphasized the rich, lasting quality of these fragrances, yet priced them affordably to encourage lavish use.

"Coty reveals a bottle of "Paris' "informal fragrance" with its sky blue encased in a cellophane box, a set of blue satin pillows In their own box."
