A pocket atomizer named "Le Frisson" was patented in 1930. It was given the patent number BF 688.483 to Societe du Vaporisateur Le Frisson. (inventor Marcel Cuel).
Atomizer patent 1,737,299 was granted in 1929.
The latest I have found the company name was in a 1963 volume of Foreign Commerce Weekly - Volume 69, Issues 26-52:
"Finger-operated sprayers, small, adequate for perfume , cosmetic uses desired by manufacturer of similar products from US producer. Le Frisson , 38 rue d'Hauteville, Paris 10."
The patent is for the atomizer hardware, the name "Le Frisson" is sometimes found stamped on the collar, but I have seen these unmarked too. The hardware can be found with or without a bulb and could be had in either a nickel or gilded finish.
These atomizers are of either frosted or clear glass and are decorated with hand painted enamel embellishments. Often the signature "Frisson" is seen near the enameled decor with a long tail descending from the n, this often looks like it reads as "Fling", "Fring" or "Fing" as it is very stylized. The frosted moon shape flask I have not yet seen except in the advertisement below, which was from a trade magazine.
