My mum used Evening in Paris... She would dab it behind her ears on very special occasions .. We were given the bottle once it was empty.. We treasured it..

I recall being able to recognise Castrol R but that was for 4 strokes. Just checked Google and see you can still buy it.

Eau de Cologne.  My mum and auntie had solid perfume stick which supposedly were cooling.  Handy for ladies of a certain age.  :grin:

My vintage perfume would be Coty L'aimant.

Ohhh I remember that, my eldest sister used to have it on her dressing table. :grin:
I used to love 2 of the vintage Avon perfumes. Topaz and Somewhere. :clap:

My Mum used Evening in Paris too, then it was Coty L'Aimant, I don't remember any of the others.  My first  favourite was Youth Dew :smiley:

We just went into any shop and sprayed ourselves with whatever was on display.. and it wasn't always the samples.. I don't even think they did samples back then.. We would have nicked them..
We didn't use posh perfume.. that was for the rich..
