For the last several days I have been nostalgically thinking about Christmas gifts that my Father gave to my Mother when I was a child. Invariably it was an "Evening In Paris" perfume set, with perfume, cologne and eau de toillette. I think you could buy it in a Five & Ten Cents store or at Rexall Drug stores. When I was old enough, I went with my Father to buy it. It was always blue glass bottles on white satin, and I remember it sitting on my Mother's vanity in their bedroom. I have a whiff of a memory of the scent on my mother.
The first perfume that I remember myself wearing was "White Shoulders" by Eyvan, the perfume, body lotion and the powder. Such a thrill to get it as a gift.
