In 1799 the business was passed to his son who, in 1805, handed on the business to a first cousin, Pierre-Guillaume Dissey; he had been a young apprentice to Louis-Toussaint Piver; in 1813, Piver became a partner in the business and together with Dissey developed a range of products that featured elegant packaging — a promotional tool which was later used to great effect by François Coty.
When Dissey died in 1823, the business became L.T. Piver; became a leading and prolific perfume company particularly in the early 1920’s; premises at 23 boulevard des Italiens, Paris. Company re-launched in association Parfumerie E Coudray, in c2000 - part of Rhone-Poulenc (France) Group.
