Les Parfums de Marcy. Established around 1910 possibly by Lazare Bloch at a small factory at Les Lilas. After becoming more successful a shop was opened at 120 avenue des Champs-Elysees in Paris. After the Second World War, the company was then affiliated with Societe Anonyme des Parfums Sidlay, with Paul Heymann as proprietor and true innovator. Many high quality presentations were created such as Les Fleurs Miraculeuses, Le Bouquet Miraculeux, Le Bracelet Miraculeux, and Le Collier Miraculeux. Parfums de Marcy excelled in the execution of trompe l'oeil perfume presentations, several fo which you will see in this guide. The perfumes of de Marcy: 1919 L'Heure est Venue (pocket watch perfume presentation) 1920 Nœdia 1922 Le Panier a Champagne (Champagne basket perfume presentation) 1922 Chypre 1922 Origan 1922 Jasmin 1922 Heliotrope 1922 Ambre 1922 Mimosa 1922 Violette 1922 Muguet 1922 Lilas 1922 Rose 1925 Nested Perfumes (bird nest and eggs perfume presentation) 1925 Le Bouquet du Caméo 1925 L'Orange Variee (perfume presentation) 1925 Noëlys 1927 Le Bouquet Miraculeux (perfume presentation) 1927 Le Collier Miraculeux (pearl necklace perfume presentation) 1928 Les Fleurs Miraceleuses (perfume presentation) 1928 Le Bracelet Miraculeux (perfume presentation) L'Heure est Venue Presentation: L'Heure est Venue perfume presentation consisted of a cobalt blue octagonal clock bottle decorated with white enamel painted numbers. Fashions of the Hour, 1925: "Twelve o'clock and all's well with Marcy's new perfume that comes in a blue bottle made like a clock with the with the hands always pointing at high noon. This perfume in a delicious bouquet odor is made especially for Marshall Field and Company, $3.50." Le Collier Miraculeux Presentation: Le Collier Miraculeux was presented in a simulated necklace of 13 graduated bottles, eleven are perfume bottles and the last two are dummies. The thin, fragile blown glass bottles are covered with the laitance de hareng pearlized finish, fitted with corks for stoppers and arranged upside down in the box to simulate an elegant pearl necklace in a luxury jewelry case. This presentation was also used by Delettrez. Le Bracelet Miraculeux: Le Bracelet Miraculeux, "The Miraculous Bracelet,”was wonderful Art Deco period perfume presentation from 1928 and a true work of art. It was a set of five colorless glass vials topped with large red, black or blue glass stoppers simulating precious gemstones. Inside the blue presentation box is a cream colored inner box with fitted compartments to hold each bottle in place. In between the bottles are clear rhinestone stations, which, when the inner box is closed, gives the appearance of an 8" long bracelet. The bottles measure just over 2" tall. All the bottles contain Lilas parfum. Nested Perfumes: The Nest presentation included three egg-shaped bottles, resting upside down in a "nest" lined with velvet. I have seen this presentation in both gold and blue velvet nests. Gold label titled on one side. The presentation included the perfumes: Violette, Ambre and Chypre. L'Orange Variée: The L'Orange Variée perfume presentation, was a half peeled orange made up of painted composition which held 8 glass bottles in the shape of realistically molded orange segments, each with its own label, sealed with cork and wax stoppers. Each bottle was held in place by having the neck inserted into a metal frame concealed inside the simulated orange peel. The scents included were: Chypre, Amber, Heliotrope, Rose, Jessamine, Mayflower, Mimosa, Muguet, Les Lilas, Violette. Each segmented bottle measures 2" tall. The orange holder measures 2.75" diameter x 1.5" tall. The orange box measures 3" x 3" square. To take out the orange slices containing perfume, take peel in one hand, turn over in other hand. The slices will come out by their own weight. Le Panier Champagne: The Le Panier Champagne novelty perfume presentation from 1922, consists of four identical clear blown glass flacons, each shaped like a champagne bottle, with cork stopper, with their two paper labels. Bottles presented in a box, covered with paper, simulating wicker basketwork, with two handles of cord, and a label in front reading "Les Parfums de Marcy Les Lilas - Paris", noting location of factory in Les Lilas, France and headquarters in Paris. Another label reads: "Modele Depose (Tribunal de Commerce No. 4174). Carrier measures approximately 2.5" wide and the bottles are approximately 2.75" tall to the top of the corks. A 1922 advertisement introduces the Champagne perfume bottle set: “Packed in a little wicker basket with handles are six bottles so small that one can with safety call them teeny . Even the corks pop authentically to carry out this fragrant jest of Marcy the parfumer of Paris for instead of champagne each bottle contains Perfume: Jasmine, Mimosa, Chypre, Violette, Ambre, Rose, Muguet or Heliotrope” A 1926 advertisement in a newspaper reads: “LES PARFUMS DE MARCY these delicate French odors whose novelty packages are perhaps just as…Some oranges others champagne bottles and corks…” Bouquet Miraculeux:This pretty little presentation was a fragile, blown glass amphora bottle on a pedestal foot. It was covered in the laitance de hareng pearlized finish. Le Bouquet Camée: “The Cameo Bouquet." This presentation included a opaque black glass flacon, in a square shape. Its front featured an applied cameo with "de Marcy Paris" underneath. The luxurious presentation box imitates a red leather covered jewelry box, titled on the inside “de Marcy Le Bouquet de Caméo”. The bottle stands about 2.6" tall. The Pinch Bottles: A cute set of three fragile, blown pinch glass bottles made up a sweet presentation. Each bottle was given a metallic colored finish and fitted with a black button stopper. CLICK HERE TO FIND PARFUMS DE MARCY PERFUME BOTTLES

Heath Nash is a designer and maker from Cape Town. After majoring in sculpture at UCT, Heath started using the paper-skills developed there to make lights, eventually leading to the exploration of local craft materials and techniques – wire, binding, recycled materials. This led to a range he calls ‘other people’s rubbish’ made from old used plastic bottles. In recent years, Nash has exhibited worldwide, including Tokyo, Milan, London, Vienna, New York, Los Angeles, Helsinki and Stockholm. He was the South African Elle Decoration designer and lighting designer of the year in 2005/6, and won the British Council title of ‘South African Creative Entrepreneur of the Year’ in 2006/7.
