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!

Au Coeur des Calices c1912

Au Coeur des Calices by Coty: launched in 1912.




Fragrance Composition:


So what does it smell like? It is classified as a floral fragrance for women.
  • Top notes:
  • Middle notes:
  • Base notes:
I do not have any notes for this perfume, however, I would surmise that the Au Coeur des Calices perfume may have contained essences that evoked fresh, springtime flowers. Knowing the bases and ingredients Coty used in his floral compositions, I believe the following bases may have been used: Flonol, for a orange blossom-neroli facet, Rhodinol for rose, methyl ionones for violet, and Bouvardia for a fresh floral bouquet.

Natural absolutes of rose and jasmine may have played their part. Additional floral essences of lilac, ylang ylang, narcissus and lily of the valley were ingredients used by Coty in his other perfumes and may have been included in Au Coeur des Calices. A top note of bergamot could have given the composition a light, airy effect.
