In 1924, with the House now operated by grandson Jacques Worth, the house ventured into the perfume market. The company's first fragrance, developed by perfumer Maurice Blanchet, was the aldehydic floral perfume, Dans La Nuit. Glass-maker René Lalique was commissioned to design the bottle. Followed by the perfumes Vers le Jour in 1924 and Sans Adieu in 1929, both housed in exquisite Rene Lalique flacons. Je Reviens, a best seller was introduced in 1932 and Vers Toi was added in 1934.
Les Perfumes Worth was established as a separate business and would launch over 20 fragrances between 1924 and 1947.
The house remained successful under Worth's descendants but would face increasing competition. In 1950 the House of Worth was taken over by the House of Paquin. In 1952 the Worth family influence ended with the retirement of great-grandson Jean-Charles (1881–1962). In 1956 the house shut down the couture operations.
After the closure of the Paris couture house Les Perfumes Worth was bought by Société Maurice Blanchet. It was sold in 1992 to David Reimer and became part International Classic Brands. It was later acquired by Lenthéric in 1999 and is now part of Shaneel Enterprises Ltd.The House of Worth is a French house of high fashion that specializes in haute couture, ready-to-wear clothes, and perfumes. The historic house was founded in 1858 by designer Charles Frederick Worth. It continued to operate under his descendants until 1952 and closed in 1956. The House of Worth brand was revived in 1999.
