François Coty

François Coty (1874–1934) was a perfumer; the works on record here are L'Origan and Le Chypre.

His life dates are Wikidata’s; the works and houses are the Osmothèque’s list, read row by row. Nothing private is recorded; each public professional fact carries its source. A silhouette, not a likeness: no portrait is shown.
