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!

Emeraude by Coty c1918

Emeraude by Coty: launched in 1918, created by Francois Coty. Pronounced "EM-AIR-ODE," meaning "emerald" in French.

It was said that the people of Persia kept emerald jewels in their temples and believed that mysterious powers were hidden within their depths. Fascinated by the Persian reverence for this precious stone, Francois Coty was also enchanted with the Persian legend that these jewels bring divine happiness. He wanted to capture the intrigue of the land and the beauty of the stone in a perfume, so in 1918, he created Emeraude, in which he claimed was "the soul of the emerald in fragrance."
