“Vera Violetta” ROGER & GALLET, Paris — “Vera Violetta” (1892) The brand’s timeless classic, a true symbol of the violet trend during the Belle Époque. The bottle, made of clear glass with a square cross-section and beveled edges, is topped with a faceted diamond-shaped stopper. It retains its neck band bearing the “RG” monogram and features its original label framed with gold seed beads, titled “Essence Vera-Violetta - Roger & Gallet - Paris.” On the back, a second label bears a charming usage tip: “Exposure to bright light is harmful to Vera Violetta. To obtain the true scent of violets, apply the essence a few hours in advance to the items to be perfumed. ” On the side is the company’s round “Grand Prix” stamp. 10 × 4 × 4 cm.
