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.

L'Aimant by Coty c1927
L'Aimant by Coty: launched in 1927. Pronounced "LEH MON", the name means "magnet" in French.
In 1926, Coty purchased the Antoine Chiris company, established in 1768, who harvested and supplied raw materials for perfumes, manufactured perfumery bases, essential oils and made perfumes for other companies.
The Russian perfumery A. Rallet & Company was owned by Chiris and produced the perfume Rallet No. 1, originally named Bouquet de Catherine, composed by Ernest Beaux. When the Russian Revolution began, Rallet relocated to France and set Ernest Beaux up with a new laboratory in Grasse. It was here that he met Coco Chanel and worked on making a perfume for her. Ernest Beaux tweaked Rallet No. 1 and thus in 1921, Chanel No. 5 was born.
The popularity of this perfume was so great that Coty felt he needed to make a clone so he and his chief collaborator in perfumery, Vincent Roubert, gave the old Rallet No. 1 a slight adaptation and it was christened L'Aimant.

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."

La Rose Jacqueminot by Coty: launched in France in 1904, in USA by 1906. The perfume, created by Francois Coty in 1902, was named after a highly fragrant breed of long stemmed cabbage roses first grown in France in 1853 who were named as a tribute for the famous heroic general of the Napoleonic war.

Moia by Coty c1922
Moia by Coty was launched around 1922. Created by François Coty. I can find no references to it, it probably was not successful. I did see it was still being sold in 1929.
So what does it smell like? Moia probably refers to Moia Wood, also known as the Cherimoya, small tropical American tree bearing round, heart shaped or oblong fruit. The blooms have a distinct vanilla scent.
