The House of Worth was a French house of high fashion that specialized in haute couture. The historic house was founded in 1858 by designer Charles Frederick Worth. It continued to operate under his descendents until 1952 but finally closed in 1956.
In 1924, with the House was operated by grandson Jacques Worth, when he led the house to venture into the perfume market. The company's first fragrance, developed by perfumer Maurice Blanchet, was Dans La Nuit. Glass-maker René Lalique was commissioned to design the bottle. Les Perfumes Worth was established as a separate business and would launch over 20 fragrances between 1924 and 1947.
Requête by Worth was first launched in France in 1944, then came to the USA by 1945. The name literally means "request" in French. In the 1940s, Requête was suggested to be worn by a young woman, as a perfect daytime perfume. Stunning and flirty, this is a super feminine fragrance.
