Chemist and Druggist, 1915:
"PARFUMERIE CARON - Arthur H. Cox & Co Ltd., Brighton, have been appointed sole British agents for the firm of Parfumerie Caron, 10 Rue de la Paix, Paris, and carry stock of their exquisite products, which include perfumes and face powders with the distinctive names: Chantecler, Elegancia, Infini, Isadora, Mimosa, Mode 1915-1916, Modernis, Narcisse Caron, Narcisse Noir, Petit Mimosa, Rarissime, Rose Précieuse, and Violette Précieuse. These appeal to the refined and the rich, and although the prices are high, there is value for the money in quality and style. For example, Petit Mimosa is a fine, enduring, and subtle perfume, put up in a quaint shaped stoppered bottle, the stopper of which is secured with gilt wire, and the label is an embossed gilt metal disc cemented to the front. It is enclosed in a lemon coloured case, and retails at 10s 9d off which the retailer gets a liberal discount. Messrs Cox have an illustrated circular about the products, a copy of which will be sent to any of our readers who asks them for it. It is a model circular."
