Appreciate the humor. Toujours Fidèle — "ever faithful" — a lover? The name suggests romance. But the "ever faithful" object of the title is man's best friend — a dog — a French bulldog or, perhaps, a pug.
The bottle is referred to as "pillow shaped " — but you might call it a pillow for a dog — or a doggie bed. Humor again.
The design of the bottle has been attributed to Baccarat (1912) and to Cristalleries de Nancy (1909 and 1912) by various sources. There appears to also have been a 1928 reissue by Baccarat with molded label, frosted stopper and gray patina.
Some examples exist signed by Baccarat, others signed by Nancy. Still others are unsigned.
The bottle appears to have been produced in more than one size as its common with successful fragrances.

Hi,
I have this bottle with the frosted, gray patina dog. It has the same Toujours Fidèle by D'Orsay on the bottle, however, the bottom has an acid etch that says CRISTAL at the top with a longer vertical line that has two shorter horizontal intercepting lines at the top and bottom with a C on one side and a N on the other. Then under that it says NANCY. All of that is within a circle and under the circle it says FRANCE.
This seems to contradict your info of:

What do you think?
