Once upon a time...

...in Paris in the roaring twenties, lived someone who was to leave her mark on Parisian Perfumery. Although almost unkown to the general public, collectors of old bottles will talk about her with an admiration tinged with nostalgia. As former Baccarat employees, they proudly look at the work of their elders, nowadays almost out of reach. This inspired creator, a visionary pioneer and the marketing genius of her age, who gazed at us from her office at 15 Rue de la Paix, was Blanche Arvoy. Hero first steps as a Parisian Perfumer bore names that have a provocative resonance: Allez Hop, Gardez moi, L'Heure Romantique and later on, an evocative Quand? These creations came in genuine works of art (blown and hand-chased bottles from Baccarat.) encased in luxurious hand-made boxes.
