It is almost impossible to find another powder box like this one anywhere this is an extremely rare perfumed powder box by houbigant of paris. The name of the powder or scent is coeur de jeanette. I believe that this powder jar is made of cardboard or heavy paper, and my guess is that it's from the earlier part of the 1900s, though i was unable to find enough information to solidify this hypothesis. Approximately 2.5 inches square and 1.5 inches high.

In overall very good vintage condition, considering this is likely about 100 years old, but this does have some wear and marks as shown in the photos. It is also leaking a little bit of the powder which has spilled over the edge, but there is plenty of powder inside, as you can see in the photos.

When applied, this has a translucent, pale pink appearance. This item is made of cardboard, powder and textile.
