In 1940, Coty introduced an Eau de Toilette concentration which they termed "Informal Fragrances." These were their most popular fragrances which were housed inside amphora shaped stoneware bottles. Each amphora was color coordinated with the fragrances they contained.
- Emeraude was in a light green
- Chypre was in a lighter green
- L'Aimant in pink
- L'Origan in brown
- Paris in blue
These amphoras were created by Zanesville Stoneware Company of Ohio starting in 1940. They measure 5.5" at the lip of the spout. Each bottle holds five ounces of the toilet water. The stoppers are a unique bronze colored metal capped cork. Some of the bottles might retain their original labels on their bellies and bases. The bottom label reads: "Coty New York Paris Informal fragrance. Use this lovely Eau de Toilette as lavishly as you choose. A generous sprinkle in your bath--a dash in your hand basin--in your final shampoo rinse--on your lingerie or 'kerchief'. Impart a touch of fragrance to your accessories or your furs. Take it with you to 'freshen up' while traveling. Cont. 5 oz. Compounded in U.S A."
