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!

Coty Gains Publicity Through Theatrical Display


The American Perfumer and Essential Oil Review, 1927:

 "Coty Gains Publicity Through Theatrical Display - A particularly novel and effective demonstration of perfumery preparations has been carried out at Dickins & Jones, the largest London department store, by Coty (England), Ltd. The most successful revue of the year in London is Charles B. Cochran's 1926 Revue at the London Pavilion. One of the scenes in it is entitled 'Les Aromes de Coty' and features the various Coty preparations.

Mlle, Spinelly, the French leading lady of the revue, appears in this scene as Parfum Paris, Other actresses represent La Jacinthe, L'Or La Violette, La Rose Jacqueminot, L'Origan, L'Emeraude and Ambre Antique

All of these figures were reproduced in a remarkable window display at Dickins & Jones. Each figure stood in a gold frame with a background of black velvet, against which the wonderful design and coloring of the dresses was shown most effectively. In the perfumery department of Dickins & Jones there was an equally attractive display, with a large powder box with a 'living' puff standing just opposite an important entrance. Throughout the whole of the display the Puff distributed to the public little sachets, and also sprayed them with perfume. 

The display lasted for ten days and on one afternoon Mlle. Spinelly devoted her entire time to it, autographing all specialties that were purchased during that time." 




Debussy's Plus que Lente was performed.
