Hello and welcome! Please understand that this website is not affiliated with Caron in any way, it is only a reference page for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by.

The main objective of this website is to chronicle the history of the Caron fragrances and showcase the bottles and advertising used throughout the years.

However, one of the other goals of this website is to show the present owners of the Caron perfume company how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances!

Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table), who knows, perhaps someone from the current Caron brand might see it.

Parfum Radiant c1913

Parfum Radiant: created in 1913.





Fragrance Composition:


I have no published notes on this perfume, it was simply described as "heavy" in a 1921 newspaper ad. Other Caron perfumes considered "heavy" in that same ad were Narcisse Noir, Tabac Blonde, while some Caron perfumes were deemed "light" such as N'Aimez Que Moi, Isadora and L'Infini. Heavy perfumes of the period included oriental types with opulent florals, precious woods and warm spices.

Bottle:

Parfum Radiant was contained inside of a square shaped bottle, molded with a frosted stalactites or icicle pattern starting at the shoulders and continuing down the sides. It is fitted with a frosted rosette stopper, which features a embossed gold foil paper label.  The bottle was created by Julien Viard. I believe that the parfum was available in three different sizes. One bottle used for the parfum stands 7.87" tall. 

The same bottle design was used for the Eau de Toilette, the base of the bottle is molded with "Eau de Toilette." Bottle stands 9.5" tall, I believe this held 4 oz.

Parfum Radiant was available in two sizes with retail prices of $8.00 and $12.50 in 1921.

 




Fate of the Fragrance:


Discontinued, date unknown. Still sold in 1937.
