Blanchette by Corday c1924

Blanchette by Corday: launched in 1924. Named after Blanche Avroy, owner of Jovoy and Corday.

 The perfume was first sold under the Jovoy name in 1920, but was later used by Corday with a slightly altered formula.

Blanchette was available in parfum, eau de toilette (8 oz) and a scented face powder.

Fragrance Composition:

So what does it smell like? I have no published notes on this composition. The perfume was described as "frivolous" whatever that means.

Bottles:

Blanchette was offered in three sizes:

• 0.5 oz
• 1 oz
• 2 oz (porcelain lady bottle) bottle stands 4" tall.

In 1925, the 2 oz porcelain lady bottle retailed for $9.95. In 1927, the 0.5 oz size retailed for $3.00 and the 1 oz size retailed for $5.50. 

The deluxe bottle for Blanchette is of ivory milk glass. I believe it has a gilded stopper and gilded serigraphy.

This bottle top is porcelain and in the shape of a seated woman, base which makes up the "cushion" is glass. The porcelain figure is lifted up when one wishes to uncork the flacon. 

Fate of the Fragrance:

Discontinued, date unknown. Still being sold in 1929.
