1946ref. 82411Paris Aljanvic 1946 1 vol. Broché plaquette in-4 carré, brochée, couverture illustrée, non paginée. Edition originale de cette élégante plaquette réalisée à l'occasion de la naissance de "Signature", le premier parfum de Carrère, comportant la reproduction fac-similé de textes autographes inédits, dont une préface de Colette de 5 pages et les témoignages de Jeanne Lanvin, Gaby Morlay, Géori Boué, Elisabeth de Grammont et Micheline Presle, une partition d'Arthur Honegger, et 8 illustrations à pleine page accompagnées de textes dont 5 en couleurs par Christian Bérard, J.-G. Daragnès, Roland Oudot, Touchagues, Dignimont, et 3 en noir par Jean Cocteau, Marie-Noël, Maurice Chevalier. Un des 3000 exemplaires numérotés sur Rives, avec deux prospectus joints et une carte imprimée d'hommage de Maurice Carrère.Personnalité incontournable du Tout-Paris, Maurice Carrère avait créé dans les années 30 un célèbre cabaret-restaurant rue Pierre-Charron. Grand animateur de la bonne société, il fut également décorateur, créateur d’ambiances, organisateur de spectacles et… créateur de parfums. Dans les lettres que Colette lui adresse, elle le tutoie et signe «ta vieille amie». En 1946, elle donne à Carrère un texte pour le lancement du parfum «Signature». Il figure en bonne place, sur cinq pages, reproduit en fac-similé, aux côtés des textes et des dessins du Gotha de l’époque: Jeanne Lanvin, Gaby Morlay, Micheline Presle, Christian Bérard, Daragnès, Touchagues, Dignimont, Jean Cocteau, Maurice Chevalier, Arthur Honegger, etc. «Quand il s’agit de luxe et de variété, l’invention française refuse de se reposer: Carrère veut sa place dans la lice. Je la lui donne de confiance. Nous savons qu’il consacra, à la gloire de la gastronomie française, une main d’amant, un œil de pilote, un nez de limier. Ce n’est pas trop de trois sens fins, pour le service de la femme et de l’élégance française.»Malgré le tirage important de la plaquette, elle est devenue rare, surtout en bonne condition.Texte repris dans Colette, Le Second métier de l’écrivain. Textes choisis et annotés par Frédéric Maget, éd. de L’Herne, 2014. (Notice de Frédéric Maget pour le catalogue de la collection Colette des Clarac)
