Qui Sait? by Lancome c1946

Qui Sait? by Lancome: launched in 1937. Created by Armand Petitjean.

Peut-Être ("Perhaps" in French) became Qui Sait ("Who Knows" in French) in 1956, however I have found publications dating to as early as 1946 using the name Qui Sait (US Patent Office info). The reason for the name change is that it would be easier for Americans to pronounce.

The name Qui Sait was used previously by another French perfumer, Lournay in 1925.

Spoutnik Perfume Presentation c1958

In 1958, in order to commemorate the launch of Sputnik, Lancome introduced two Georges Delhomme designed "Spoutnik" limited edition perfume presentations, one was a blue tinted opalescent glass moon faced purse flacon for the perfume Magie. This bottle was also used for other perfumes. Only 100 bottles were manufactured.

Melisande Perfume Presentation c1954

Lancome introduced "Melisande" in 1954, a beautiful figural bottle of a standing lady made up of pink tinted opalescent glass. This luxury presentation was used for various perfumes including Magie, Fleches D'Or and Tresor and was designed by Georges Delhomme and produced at Verreries Parant.  Founded around 1824, this glassworks is more recent than the Verrerie Blanche, associated for a while with the Baccarat crystal factory.








Art et la Mode, 1954:
"MAGIE" de LANCOME présenté dans la statuette de cristal MELISANDE." 

L'Art et la mode, 1959:
"Tresor and Fleches d'or, contained in a frosted crystal bottle representing the beautiful Melisande with long hair: the exquisitely feminine art object..."


L'Art et la mode, Issue 2763,
"Mélisande is a lightly colored crystal statuette, whose material evokes and gives effects comparable to those of a hard stone. It is a small masterpiece of line and taste. Mélisande contains, at your choice, the Lancôme's famous perfumes: Magie, Trésor, Flèches or Kypre, which are the richest compositions of our time."
