Bernard Lalande

Parfums Bernard Lalande of Paris, France. Active in the 1980s-1990s. Available only at French airports as souvenir perfume sets.  Traded under the name S.A.R.L. Etablissements Bernard Lalande. He produced Men's Toilet Water, After-Shave Lotions, Deodorants for Men, and Perfumes. Today, no one owns the trademark.

The bottles were made by Saint Gobain Desjonqueres, the marking is "SGD" on the base of the bottle.  Some bottles were designed by Pierre Dinand.

The mini bottles are clear glass squares with plastic caps. The caps have a plug inside to keep the perfumes from leakage during travel.


  • Parfum Jasmin (sweetened jasmine, oakmoss, sandalwood, other light florals such as lilac)
  • Parfum Ambre (at first sniff - it smells a lot like Shalimar to me, heavy on the ambergris, opoponax, benzoin and vanilla-- beautiful)
  • Parfum Vert (green galbanum freshness, light floral scent, oakmoss some animalic notes)
  • Parfum Boise (woodsy notes of cedar and sandalwood, patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver on amber, incense and spices)


These actually smell very nice to me with complex dry downs and not cheap or shrill smelling notes.


Sometimes you can find a figural Eiffel Tower bottle filled with the scent Bleu de France. The bottle was made up of frosted and clear glass and was designed by Pierre Dinand in 1989 celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower's construction.

Welcome!

This is not your average perfume blog. In each post, I present perfumes or companies as encyclopedic entries with as much facts and photos as I can add for easy reading and researching without all the extraneous fluff or puffery.

Please understand that this website is not affiliated with any of the perfume companies written about here, it is only a source of reference. I consider it a repository of vital information for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by. Updates to posts are conducted whenever I find new information to add or to correct any errors.

One of the goals of this website is to show the present owners of the various perfumes and cologne brands that are featured here how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances!

Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table, did you like the bottle design), who knows, perhaps someone from the company brand might see it.

Also, if you have any information not seen here, please comment and share with all of us.
