In this guide I will introduce you to the vintage perfumes of Lionceau Paris.

Lionceau was established in 1920 at 110 Demours, Paris France, by Michel Schasseur. The company generally produced luxury presentations and had large exports to the United States. In 1922, the company was acquired by the Boston-based food chain, SS Pierce. Lionceau was also affiliated with two other perfume companies:  Elesbe and Demours.

Demours was established in 1927 at 110 rue Demours,Paris by Michel Schasseur and sold perfumes and cosmetics.

Elesbe was established in 1922 at 20 rue Dagobert, Clichy (Seine) by Robert-Laurent Levy, Roger de Soria and Pierre Bord with the company's name based on their initials (LSB).

 Solid perfumes also were packaged in bakelite containers, such as this one:

Lionceau applied for the patent for these bottles in 1927,the bottles can be found in different opaque colors for different scents. An advertisement of the era states that this bottle was designed by Lalique. Bottles are marked made in France on base. The bottles were made in several sizes from 5 7/8" tall, 4" tall , 3 1/8" tall and  2 1/2" tall. The bottles were by H. Saumont.
