In 1934, Chanel introduced a three piece perfume presentation set which held quarter ounce glass flacons of any scent. This was known as the "Three Moods Presentation". The presentation box can be found in two different shapes: a round hat box shaped coffret meant to sit upon the vanity table, and a rectangular box meant for travel. Both boxes held three small bottles of perfume.
The Three Moods gift set was sold well into the 1960s and could be had in various different Chanel perfumes: Chanel No.5, Glamour, Gardenia, Bois des Isles, Cuir de Russie, Jasmin, Chanel No. 22, Chanel No.55.
The deluxe "Vanity" set was housed inside of a round hat box styled coffret.
