notes: label: Description
content: Richard Hudnut was one of the first American cosmetic manufacturers, selling his perfumes and cosmetics from his father’s New York pharmacy at a time when perfumeries from Paris were in vogue. In 1889 he organized R. Hudnuts Pharmacy Inc. to continue selling his perfumes, which became exceptionally popular, selling in department stores as well as pharmacies. This bottle of Hudnut’s “Tres Flores” or “Three Flowers” perfume was sold around 1915, and came in a satin-lined, lithographed paper box.
