Description

In 1954, Coty came out with a fragrance that had no actual name other than "Question Mark". It is believed that the name was in reference to Francois Coty's early airplane, Le Point d'Interrogation (the Question Mark). It was one of the airplanes that Coty owned with somewhat strange names such as Trait d'Union (The Hyphen), The Hyphen 2 and Period.

A promotional contest launched along with the release of the fragrance. The advertisement read:  

"Anyone could win this fabulous Paris Vacation for Two! Just name this new Coty fragrance! Here is another exhilarating fragrance from Coty.
