<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Floramye by LT Piver: launched in 1903. Created by Pierre Armigeant, Jacques Rouché and Georges Darzens. The name is a constructed word, recalling "love of flowers."<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Floramye was available in a variety of products:<br />
<ul>
<li>Parfum (extrait/essence)</li>
<li>Eau de Toilette</li>
<li>Eau Vegetale</li>
<li>Lotion</li>
<li>Soap</li>
<li>Face Powder</li>
<li>Talc</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Fragrance Composition:</u></h3>
<br />
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a floral bouquet fragrance for women.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Top notes: aldehydes, bergamot, orange blossom</li>
<li>Middle notes: heliotrope, jasmine, violet, rose</li>
<li>Base notes: sandalwood, amber, oakmoss</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br />
Floramye has the distinction of being the first perfume to utilize the aroma chemical methyl nonyl acetaldehyde, which was discovered by the Russian born chemist Georges Darzens. It would take nearly two more decades before this chemical would be widely used in other perfumes.</div><div><br /></div><div>L'Amour de l'art, 1950:</div><div><blockquote><i>"Floramye by LT Piver: The charm of several generations is reborn in Floramye - created in 1916 [sic]- and whose fragrance has never ceased to please. Essentially feminine bouquet, it seems to embrace and unfold its scents of bergamot and flowers It's a cruelty-free riddle whose power seems to work on 'gentlemen who prefer blondes'."</i></blockquote><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Bottles:</u></h3>
<br />
Originally Floramye was contained in a simple clear glass bottle with faceted glass stopper. The real attraction was in it's polychromed paper label which featured stunning Alfonse Mucha style Art Nouveau graphics which recalled the images on its presentation box. The face powder box repeated the same imagery as on the presentation box.<br />

<br />
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a floral chypre fragrance for women.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">

Mascarade was suggested to be worn by brunettes. Which to my knowledge means that the perfume was probably a heavy, oriental, spicy, or chypre type fragrance as these were the ones that were most advised to be worn by women who were of brunette and darker complexion during this time period. Blondes and fair complected women were advised to wear lighter, floral, aldehydic, woodsy or sporty type fragrances.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Reste Jeune, 1936:</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><blockquote><i>""Piver has created Mascarade, a peppery and fresh fragrance that blends very well with the scents of the epidermis: a "young" and modern type of perfume."</i></blockquote><br />

<u>Bottle:</u></h3>
<br />
Opaque red glass bottle, arched shape, sloping shoulders, molded with swirling shapes. Matching opaque red glass stopper molded with repeating design. Base of bottle acid stamped "France". Bottle can also be found trimmed with gold enamel and gold enameling on stopper. The small size retailed for $2.45 and the De Luxe size retailed for $25 in 1928.<br />
<br />
This red glass bottle was discontinued in 1936 in favor of a new, simpler design that was much cheaper to produce. The new flacon, called the Harlequin bottle, displays a label featuring the Greek theatre masks. The products available with the new graphics were: extrait (parfum), lotion, face powder and face cream.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Azurea by LT Piver: launched in 1897. Created by Jacques Rouché, Pierre Armigeant, and Russian born chemist Georges Darzens. The name signified the blue of heaven, suggesting that the perfume is as light as the ether.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Azurea was available in a variety of products:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Parfum (extrait/essence)</li>
<li>Eau de Toilette</li>
<li>Eau Vegetale</li>
<li>Lotion</li>
<li>Soap</li>
<li>Face Powder</li>
<li>Talc</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Fragrance Composition:</u></h3>
<br />
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a floral fragrance for women. It is described as sweet, light, fresh, with a bit of spice.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Top notes: citrus</li>
<li>Middle notes: rose, jasmine, iris</li>
<li>Base notes: spices, sandalwood, amber</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Bottles:</u></h3>

<br /></div>
<div>
Azurea was contained in a simple clear glass bottle with ground glass stopper. The real attraction was in it's polychromed paper label which featured stunning Alfonse Mucha style Art Nouveau graphics which recalled the images on its presentation box. The face powder box repeated the same imagery as on the presentation box.<br />

<h3>
<u><br />Fate of the Fragrance:</u></h3>
Safranor seems to have been discontinued around 1920 but reformulated and relaunched in 1922. It was discontinued at some time, but the actual date is unknown. It was still being sold in 1942.<br />

Scarabee by LT Piver: launched during Christmas time in 1909. The name is derived from the sacred and mysterious Scarabaeus beetle, the talisman of the ancient Egyptians. A model of the insect forms part of the design on the boces of perfume.<br />

This gorgeous Art Nouveau bottle was similar to the Cigalia bottle from Roger et Gallet, but it had scarabs instead of the cicadas hugging onto the shoulders of the bottle. Its presentation case was made up of leather tooled to have the shape of the scarab.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The perfumed lotion bottle featured a pair of scarabs molded into the shoulders of the bottle.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Scarabee also was available in scented powder, and its sumptuous clear and frosted crystal powder box was molded with a large scarab on the lid and given cold patination in a sepia color. These items usually do not have the Lalique signature.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The fragrance of Scarabee was classified as green, and probably a chypre.<br />

Velivole by LT Piver: launched in 1910, other sources claim 1912, 1913 as the launch date. Velivole is the French word for "soaring". Velivole was a line that included not only parfum and eau de toilette, but bath salts, face powder, concentrees, eaux vegetales/lotion vegetale, soap, rouge, sachet, cream and talc.<br />

Astris by LT Piver was launched in 1904. Created by George Darzens and Pierre Armigeant. The name is an allusion to that vague period known as the "Age of Astree," the golden age, when peace and goodwill reigned on earth.<br />

It was promoted as a perfume that was for luxury and daring women. Astris was available as parfum, face powder, bath salts, bath powder and sachet.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
In Greek mythology, Astris (or Asteria) was one of the Heliades, daughters of Helios, either by the Oceanid Clymene or the Oceanid Ceto. She married the river god Hydaspes (the modern Jhelum River) and became mother of Deriades, king in India.<br />

Perfumery & Essential Oil Record, 1911:</div>
<div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"L. T. Piver, of 10, Boulevard de Strasbourg, admit that they chiefly use fancy names, chosen specially to avoid any imitation ... Astris " is an allusion to that vague period known as " the Age of Astree," the golden age, when peace and goodwill reigned over earth."</i></blockquote>

<div>
<b>The Age of Astree:</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
The "Age of Astree" refers to L'Astree, a pastoral novel by Honoré d'Urfé, published between 1607 and 1627.<br />
<br />
Possibly the single most influential work of 17th century French literature, L'Astrée has been called the "novel of novels", partly for its immense length (six parts, forty stories, sixty books in 5399 pages) but also for the success it had throughout Europe: it was translated into a great number of languages and read at every royal court. Even today, this novel is regularly republished, both in full and in abridged edition, and even in comic book form. The first three parts were published in 1607, 1610 and 1619; after Honoré d'Urfé's death in 1625 the fourth was completed by Balthazar Baro, and a fifth and sixth were supplied in 1626 by Pierre Boitel, sieur de Gaubertin.The last two are often counted as one.<br />
<br />
The plot is immensely complex, but the main thread of the storyline is the perfect love between a shepherd and shepherdess of fifth-century Forez, the heroine Astrée (named after Astræa) and her lover Céladon (who gave his name to the ceramic). The perfidies and political ambitions of the other characters, which result in many misadventures for the couple, occupy the greater proportion of the novel, which is frequently interrupted by digressions into stories that are strictly unrelated but which serve to flesh out the world in which they live. D'Urfé's descriptions of Forez are sufficiently detailed for many locations to be identified without ambiguity. Visitors to Boën can today follow the chemins de l'Astrée ("paths of Astrée") by visiting the Grand Préin the grounds of d'Urfé's old estate.<br />
<br />
The most important editions are those of 1733, 1925 and 2006. A film version, Les Amours d'Astrée et de Céladon, by Éric Rohmer, was made in 2007. An opera by Gérard Pesson was staged in June 2009.<br />
<br />

<b><u>Fragrance Composition:</u></b></h3>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So what does it smell like? Astris is a fresh floral aldehyde perfume, with cool, metallic notes. It has a blend of rose, jasmine, violet, Queen of the Night flower(nicotiana), and lily of the valley spiked with aldehydes for a sparkling facet resting on a soft, oriental base. Described as having "just the faintest suggestion of autumn sadness in its sweetness" in a 1927 newspaper advertisement.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Top notes: aldehydes, nicotiana, lily of the valley</li>
<li>Middle notes: jasmine, rose, violet, ylang ylang</li>
<li>Base notes: vanilla, amber, musk, sandalwood</li>
</ul>

<div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Bottles:</u></b></h3>
</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
The perfume was originally presented in a clear Baccarat crystal flacon, embraced by a bronze mounting. The name of the perfume was engraved on the bronze plaque in the center of the ornate framework. The bottle featured a crystal lapidary stopper. The bottle stands about 4.5" tall and is housed in a deluxe wooden presentation box trimmed with bronze.</div>

In 1927, a new bottle was produced for Astris. A salmon pink Baccarat crystal star shaped bottle with silver star shaped label, a thoroughly perfect specimen of Art Deco modernism. This luxury edition known as the Flacon de Luxe retailed for $20 in 1927 and held about 2.5 oz. The star flacon was discontinued in 1934.</div>

<h3>
<u>Fragrance Composition:</u></h3>
<br />
So what does it smell like? It was classified as a woodsy odor "with clean cut spiciness".<br />
<br />
"Misti, which captures in scent as well as in name the effect of a dew-drenched, moon-lit garden" as it was described in a 1927 newspaper advertisement. Another 1927 ad mentioned it was a "modernist version of the outdoors at large!"<br />
<ul>
<li>Top notes:</li>
<li>Middle notes:</li>
<li>Base notes: woodsy notes, spicy notes</li>
</ul>
<br />
Misti was suggested to be worn by blondes who love the outdoors. Which to my knowledge means that the perfume was probably a lighter, floral, aldehydic, woodsy or sporty type fragrance as these were the ones that were most advised to be worn by women who were of blonde/fair coloring during this time period. Brunettes and darker complected women were advised to wear heavy, oriental, spicy, or chypre type fragrances.<br />
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Bottles:</u></h3>
<br />
The prettiest bottle for Misti was manufactured by Rene Lalique in 1913. It is disk shaped and made up of clear and frosted glass, accented with blue patina and molded with butterflies. The stopper is molded with a stylized flower pattern. The bottle stands 2" tall and reminds me of an inkwell.<br />

The Pharmaceutical era - Volume 58 - Page 465, 1924:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"New odors called Misti, Velivole and Vivitz are announced. The Misti odor has an especially attractive package, the bottles being made by Lalique and having butterflies pressed into the glass, and the container is of dark blue ornamented with white."</i></blockquote>

Presented in a gilded crystal Art Deco flacon made by Cristalleries de Baccarat, design # 548. This bottle was later used to house Gao in 1927. The stately geometric Art Deco Flacon de Luxe for Misti won an award at the 1925 Art Deco Exposition in Paris. This bottle retailed for $15.00 in 1928.<br />
<br />

In 1930, the bottles and packaging was changed according to a newspaper ad from a retailer that bought out the surplus.<br />

Reve D’Or by LT Piver was originally launched in 1889 as a woman’s cologne.<br />
<br />
Its French name translates as “dream of gold” or "Golden Dreams" and was named after the particular breed of roses with butterscotch and cream petals.<br />
<br />
In 1905 it was slightly reformulated and incorporated methyl aldehyde to give it a sparkling top note. The parfum extrait was reformulated in 1926 by Louis Armingeat.<br />

<u>Original Fragrance Composition:</u></h3>
<br />
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a floral bouquet fragrance for women.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Top notes: aldehydes, syringa, lemon, geranium, basil, cloves, wild African oregano, pepper</li>
<li>Middle notes: frangipani, Japanese hovenia, heliotrope, jasmine, Spanish carnation, lilac, tea rose, orange blossom</li>
<li>Base notes: cedar, Sumatra benzoin, Malabar sandalwood, vetiver, musk</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
A 1934 advertisement in the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette described Rever D’Or as “the softest and rarest of all garden scents - utterly feminine for the new Mode of Femininity that‘s sweeping the country today”.<br />
<br />
Fodor's Woman's Guide to Europe, 1954:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Piver, 10 Boulevard de Strasbourg. "Un Parfum d'aventure"— for blondes; "Cuir de Russie"— bittersweet; "Floramye"— a favorite since 1916; "Pompeia" and "Reve d'Or"-for brunettes."</i></blockquote>
<br />
<br />
The toilet articles fragrant with the Reve D’Or scent were available as:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Reve D’Or sachet.</li>
<li>Reve D’Or perfume</li>
<li>Reve D’Or bath powder</li>
<li>Reve D’Or face powder in Rachel, ochre, naturelle, basanee</li>
<li>Reve D’Or 2 oz toilet water</li>
<li>Reve D’Or 4 oz perfume</li>
<li>Reve D'Or lotion</li>
<li>Reve D'Or bath soap</li>
<li>Reve D'Or brilliantine</li>
</ul>
<br />
Hearst's, 1930:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"And for the new “Lady” is the new Reve D’Or. Acclaimed in Paris, Reve D’Or brings to America its soft fragrance - its elegant delicacy, as feminine as the “lady” herself. Now, enhance it yet more, with Reve D'Or — newest of French fragrances- — created for the new Mode alone. Subtle, delicate, alluring, — it radiates the very essence of your new, feminine self. Piver, oldest of French perfumers, has created Reve D’Or for the new mode. It is here in America in Reve D’Or face powder, in four flattering tins, including the new new Basanee {an "after sun-tan tint") $1 - Reve D’Or Perfume $10 and $4 (also a purse size at $1) Reve D’Or Toilet Water $2.50 - Talc $1 - Bath Powder $1."</i></blockquote>
<br />
<br />
You could also find enameled Reve D’Or compacts filled with the scented face powder too and brilliantine for the hair, which would have given it that wet look so very popular at the time.<br />
<br />
In 1957, LT Piver filed a trademark for the name Reve D’Or for Perfumes, Toilet Waters, Eau De Cologne, Hair Preparations, Face and Toilet Powders.<br />
<br />
<br />

<u>Bottles:</u></h3>
<div>
Reve D'Or was presented in various bottles over the years depending on the concentration of fragrance contained inside: parfum, eau de toilette, cologne, brilliantine, lotion, etc.<br />
<br />
In the early 1920s, Louis Sue and Andre Mare had redecorated the LT Piver salons in Paris, transforming everything from furniture and accessories to the ceiling draperies into a rich interior of deep cobalt blue and glistening gold. This same theme was repeated in the presentation for Reve D'Or. In 1925, Louis Sue designed the entire presentation for the perfume.<br />
<br />
The parfum was contained in a deluxe crystal flacon accented with thick gold enameling. This exquisite bottle was manufactured by the prestigious glassworks of Baccarat.<br />

<u>Fate of the Fragrance:</u></h3>
In later years, it emerged as a Lotion for women and men. I have read that this became very popular in the Middle East and was a staple fragrance in the barbershops of Cairo. It still exists today as lotion splash (also known as an eau de toilette) and eau de cologne spray, and is found at the LT Piver website.<br />

In 1957, LT Piver filed a trademark for the name Reve D’Or for Perfumes, Toilet Waters, Eau De Cologne, Hair Preparations, Face and Toilet Powders.<br />
<br />
LT Piver describes Reve D’Or beautifully here on their website:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>”Slip away into a world of dreams with this cocktail of rare and precious essences. An invigorating, radiant and bright start to the day with notes of orange blossom, tea roses, geraniums and vetiver that gracefully gives way to the magic of the heliotrope – a sensual flower whose delicate fragrance is enhanced as the sun gains in warmth – only to form a unique and bewitching scent that lingers on hints of sandalwood into the night.”</i></blockquote>
