The collection of perfume bottles originated from Carroll's Perfume Co., a notable wholesaler that operated out of Buffalo, NY. Carroll's Perfume Co. was known for its "Cut-Rate" perfumes, toilet waters, and cosmetics, offering both foreign and domestic fragrance products. They represented a range of well-known brands Andre Chenier, Viviny, Betty Faye, Jean La Salle, Armand Duval Dubois, F. Millot & Houbigant. These bottles date from the mid-1930s a period when Carroll's Perfume Co. was actively promoting a diverse selection of fragrances. Several of the perfume brands you have were divisions of a parent company: Viviny Perfumers Inc. of West Haven, Connecticut, doing business as "André Chenier", the name of the famous late French poet, had launched a line of toilet preparations including perfumes and cosmetics in the 1920s. Some of the products were: face powder, talcum powders, face creams, bath salts, lipsticks and rouges. Viviny Perfumers also did business under the various brand names of: Jean La Salle, Dubois, Armand Duval, and Betty-Faye. This era of perfume history is marked by the transition from grand, opulent scents to more streamlined and accessible offerings, reflecting broader trends in both fragrance and consumer culture. The bottles are not only significant for their historical value but also for their rarity, making these a unique and valuable snapshot of mid-20th-century fragrance history. From the 1920s-1930s and are known as "bulk bottles." These were typically used by store owners to decant drams (1/8 oz) into smaller bottles, which customers would either bring in or purchase from the shop. Dram sizes were especially popular during the 1920s-1940s as a cost-effective way to buy perfume. Stores often had their own small dram bottles for selling these decanted perfumes and were given free with a purchase of the drammed perfume. In addition to their main headquarters, Carroll's operated a store in Springfield, Massachusetts. This location, along with others, contributed to their extensive distribution network. Dating from the mid-1930s reflect a period when Carroll's was a major player in the perfume industry. These bottles were used to hold concentrated parfum, which was then decanted into smaller dram-sized bottles for retail. The fact that these perfumes were advertised together during this era adds historical value to your collection, marking a significant period in fragrance history.
