The perfumes were purchased by my grandma (1907-2002) when she was in Paris during the 1920s. The bottle is considered to be both an iconic example of Art Deco design and a landmark in perfume bottle design, and is held in the collections of a number of design museums. It was created by Michel de Brunhoff, prior to his becoming editor of British, and then French, Vogue for three decades. De Brunhoff was inspired by the American jazz bands who came to Paris following the First World War, and by Josephine Baker in particular. The bottle was produced by Verreries Brosse in Seine Maritime. The area where their factory is located is still notable for perfume bottle production, and the firm is still in existence. Despite the design and line name being viewed in some circles today as racist and/or colonialist, in its time the brand was popular with young, liberated women, or flappers, and wearing it signfied being progressive and open-minded. Note that measurements are for the larger bottle. Smaller bottles are half this.
