In 1914, Henri Rigaud became sole proprietor of the French perfumer Veuve Rigaud, whose name then became simply “Rigaud.” For the occasion, he launched the famous perfume “Un Air Embaumé.” (Perfumed Breezes). Created by Marius Reboul, it was a remarkable success; 30 years after its creation, its users were still faithful to it.
The sumptuous flacon for Un Air Embaume is very distinct and made up of clear and frosted glass, the sides are molded with nudes rising in smoke from perfume burners, the bottle was then decorated with applied sienna colored patina. The bottle was advertised as being manufactured by Lalique, but there is no existing reference to this being made by Lalique in any of the Lalique literature. The bottle was actually produced in the Bresle valley in France by the Darras Glassworks.
