George Barbier: Parfum Tendre (1922) Vintage French Art Deco Poster

Breathe in the elegance of the Roaring Twenties. This museum-quality Giclée reproduction features George Barbier’s 1922 masterpiece, Parfum Tendre, an enchanting vision of love and luxury for Rigaud Paris.

In 1922, George Barbier was at the height of his fame, creating a bridge between high fashion and fine art. This advertisement for Rigaud Paris showcases his signature blend of classical mythology and modern glamour. By utilizing the Commedia dell'arte figures of Pierrot and Columbine, Barbier infuses the perfume advertisement with a sense of theatrical romance and mystery. The Art Deco sensibilities—from the geometric balustrade to the stylized flora—reflect a world of newfound freedom and artistic experimentation. It remains a quintessential example of how the 'Golden Age' of illustration turned commercial beauty into high-concept art.

Barbier's illustrations are celebrated for their fine detail and subtle color washes. Our archival Giclée print is digitally mastered to preserve the delicate stippling of the twilight sky, the vibrant pinks of the gown, and the crisp, flowing lines of the original calligraphy. Printed on premium 100% cotton rag paper, it ensures the dreamlike atmosphere and sophisticated charm of the 1920s original remain a breathtaking focal point in your home.

A sophisticated Statement Piece for a vanity area, a dreamy bedroom, or a gallery wall dedicated to French fashion. This George Barbier Print is an exceptional gift for perfume collectors, fashion historians, and lovers of vintage Parisian style.
