In this guide I have listed the various perfumes produced by Callot Soeurs, Louiseboulanger, Cheriut and Madame Vionnet.

Callot Soeurs of 9-10 avenue Matignon,Paris, was established in 1895 by three sisters,Marie Callot Gerber (a designer), Marthe Callot Bertrand and Regine Callot Chantrelle. Under the creative designs of Marie, and designer friend Madame Madeliene Vionnet, Callot Soeurs became a leading fashion house, producing day time clothes, Oriental and period at-home and evening gowns. All creations featured the use of luxurious fabrics, sumptuous embroideries and fine fashion details. In 1923, perfumes, mostly inspired by China were introduced and were available up until the 1950s. The boxes for perfume were in the same shape as the boxes for the fashion house's clothes.

The design house of Madame Vionnet of 50 avenue Montaigne,Paris, was established in 1912 by Madeleine Vionnet, who had previously worked for Kate Reilly of London, Callot Soeurs of Paris and Doucet of Paris. She was among the first to introduce collections without corsets,said to be inspired by actress Isadora Duncan, who refused to wear corsets.  Her couture house closed during World War I and reopened in 1919. She catered to the most prestigious of clientele. She introduced perfumes in 1924 and initially offered them only to her clients, there are only two commercial presentations known. Some of her early perfumes had simple letter names. Her salons closed in 1939. You can find more fashion info about Vionnet online.

The design house of Louiseboulanger was also affiliated with Callot Soeurs. Louiseboulanger of 3 rue de Berri,Paris was established in 1923 by Louise Boulanger who catered to small elite group. The fabulous Marlene dietrich was a client. Louiseboulanger only launched one perfume commercially. Her house closed in 1939.
