The 9 colour plates by Bernard de Monvel, Carlègle, Paul Méras, André Marty, Georges Barbier and Georges Lepape illustrate nine different perfumes by Rigaud: Prince Igor, Près de vous, Muses de bois, Lilas de Rigaud, L'Heure charmante, Œillet d'Andalousie, Mary Garden, Des roses, Un air embaumé.
The house of Rigaud perfumed the greatest female celebrities of the time, actresses and journalists. The perfumes often take the names of Belle Époque celebrities or pay tribute to them. The singer Mary Garden, who was very popular in the United States, gave her name to the eponymous perfume "Mary Garden".
