Sergy, Promesse d'Amor, 'Promise of Love', 50 ml. or 1.76 oz. Flacon, Parfum Extrait, 1930, Paris, France ..

Gueldy was established in 1905 by Lelaurin and A. Sergent at 370 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honore in Paris. Gueldy. Inc., also operated at 21 East 40th St.. New York. By 1913, the company was later acquired by P. Thibaud et Cie, a major toilet articles company affiliated with Gibbs, an English toiletries and toothpaste company, established in 1712.

A. Sergent also established Parfums de Sergy in 1930, which produced slightly lower priced perfumes for women who wanted beautiful perfumes, but couldn't afford a very expansive bottle. Later, Parfums de Sergey merged with Gueldy. Sergy was also reported as "Gerly". Sergy perfumes then gained more status as a result of its merger with Gueldy.

Sergy may have been associated with Parfumerie Francelys, as one of their perfume bottles was the same shape. Gueldy became a major company with large exports. It won a gold medal at the 1925 Paris Exhibition.
