Beauty – Perfume Atomizers

In 1887, Dr. Allen DeVilbiss, a nose and throat specialist in Toledo, Ohio developed an atomizer to spray his medicated oil into his patients throats. Several years later he establishes a manufacturing company in order to produce this medical atomizer. Joining his father in the company, Dr. DeVilbiss’s son Thomas reengineers his father’s medical atomizer and creates the first perfume atomizer known as the ‘perfumizer’.

Many of these perfume atomizers were of unusual designs and a number of them were unique enough that they were patented. Developing glassware designs of their own, DeVilbiss contacted glassware companies in the United States and overseas in which their atomizers could be mounted.
