Fragrance house

Vigny

Vigny was a Parisian perfume house founded in 1919 or 1920 by brothers Lucien Vogel and Jacques Vogel, and named for the French poet Alfred de Vigny. Initially known as Parfums de Vigny, it adopted the shorter name Parfums Vigny, or Vigny, in 1933. Jacques Vogel served as the house perfumer, while Lucien Vogel helped shape its visual and publishing context. Vigny’s early identity was expressed through theatrical, character-based bottles and packaging associated with Michel de Brunhoff, Lucien Vogel, René Lalique, and Baccarat. The house exhibited at the 1925 Paris International Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, with designs featuring butterflies, birds, and Golliwogg imagery. Le Golliwogg, an early fragrance launched around 1918–1919, is the clearest defining example, with a distinctive bottle and packaging designed by Michel de Brunoff and Lucien Vogel. Heure Intime, released in 1933, used packaging with jazz-dancer silhouettes and was documented as a floral parfum. Consulted sources list Vigny’s recorded fragrances as discontinued.
