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.
Rare amphora bottle, convex curved belly, fully coated with gold (wear) with bell shaped stopper curved, titled. Model designed by Felicie Bergaud. h: 17cm
The Eaux de Caron collection was composed up of three fragrances, that were issued starting in 1995 until 1997. The line also included: body lotion, shower cream, powder, soap and deodorant.
En Avion by Caron: launched in France in 1929, in USA by 1932. Pronounced "ON-AH-VEE-ON", the name means "By Plane" in French. Created by Ernest Daltroff as a tribute to not only the vogue of air travel, but to both the aviators Jean Mermoz, Hélène Boucher and Lena Bernstein, the latter surpassed the record for time in the air by a woman.
Bellodgia by Caron : launched in 1927, created by Ernest Daltroff. Pronounced "BELLO-JEE-AH". The perfume was inspired by the Italian town of Bellagio on Lake Como.
Bain de Champagne: (Bath of Champagne) Created in 1924 by Ernest Daltroff. Reportedly created for a Californian or Texan millionaire who liked to use champagne in his baths, albeit it got too expensive so he commissioned Caron to create a fragrance that would mimic the ritual.
Aimez-Moi: launched in 1996, in USA in 1998. The nose behind this fragrance is Dominique Ropion. It was directly inspired by the 1916 Caron fragrance N’Aimez Que Moi.
Adastra by Caron: launched in 1936. Created by Ernest Daltroff. Introduced and sold at the World's Fair in 1939. I believe the name comes from the Latin, "Ad Astra" which translates to "to the stars". The theme of the 1933 World's Fair was a "Century of Progress" and all things futuristic.
