Cachet Perfume Bottle
This is a Perfume bottle. It was produced by Lucien Lelong. It is dated 1950–65 and we acquired it in 1991. Its medium is mold-blown glass with applied metalic cord; gold foil on paper (label); cardboard with applied woven and printed textile, silk cord (packaging). It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
Lelong, a well-known couture and ready-to-wear fashion designer in Paris in the World War I era, established Parfums Lelong in 1926. The company produced at least seventeen different fragrances, including “Cachet,” which launched in 1948. It was a green chypre perfume, meaning it had a mossy finish, suggested by the liquid’s green color and the molded acanthus leaf decoration of the glass bottle.
