Emeraude by Coty is an oriental fragrance for women. Launched in 1921 it was created by Francois Coty and is a beautiful vintage fragrance - a sharp, aldehydic and citrusy scent that mellows out into a creamy amber/vanilla dream.

Emeraude is a true gem. A drug-store classic and the most widely known and beloved of Francois Coty's fragrances. It was very popular in the 1960s.

It was part of the advertising era that catered to men. One of their magazine ads read: "When was the last time he woke you just to hear your voice? Want him to be more of a man? Try being more of a woman. Emeraude by Coty."

Interesting to note, is that Emeraude is part of the Smithsonian's collection of cosmetics and personal care products displayed at the National Museum of American History. 

Emeraude is still available for purchase.

This is the original vintage eau de cologne version.
