In this guide I have listed the various perfumes produced by Volnay of Paris France & Suresnes France.

Established in 1919 by Rene Duval, who had previously worked for perfumer Coty and established Brahma perfumery in 1912, producing Oriental style presentations. Volnay soon became very successful and had opened branches in London, Milan, Brussels, New York, South America and Australia.

Volnay also produced perfumes for other companies such as Fontanis. Volnay created some of the finest presentations utilizing unusual names and eclectic styles inspired by exotic and romantic themes.

Best known for the use of a pearlized finish on their perfume bottles, such as the one for Perlinette in 1925. Lalique manufactured some bottles for Volnay, including the ones for Gri-Gri, Chypre Ambre, Ambre de Siam, Violette, Mimeomai, Jardinee and Mousse Ambre.
