Le Parfum d'Yvonne Printemps by Isabey was launched in 1929, a time when Hollywood and the broader world of entertainment were experiencing significant changes and developments. The late 1920s was the tail end of the silent film era, with "talkies" (films with sound) beginning to revolutionize the industry. This period also marked the height of the Jazz Age, characterized by the exuberance of the Roaring Twenties, with its cultural dynamism and shifts in social norms.
