Djer Kiss-Kerkoff was established in France in 1903, a perfumer with a shop on the Champs d'Elysee, soon after the New York Company Alfred H Smith became the exclusive
importer of French Djer Kiss products, packaged in America. His son Rowland H Smith carried on the company and the Fairies theme was designed by Willy Pogamy and Maxfield Parrish between 1916 to 1925
