What Vintage Perfume Am I Describing?

[Chinajan]

I was talking to an elderly acquaintance some time ago and she was reminiscing about her favourite perfume as a teen. This would have been around 1940s/1950s and I believe she said her mother had some too, so probably from earlier than that.

I remembered that a relative of mine had the bottle she described and I had thought it was Evening in Paris/Soir de Paris, but having researched that none of the vintage bottles are 'it'.

It was a tiny bottle, dark blue I think, circular and squat, with a very distinctive tall, pointed, ridged gold screw on lid. The lid was taller than the actual bottle.

Any ideas?

Google ‘soirée de Paris’ soirée is evening, not soir.

[woofgang]

did she say how it smelt?

My grandmother used to use the same perfume. I googled Evening in Paris perfume and quite a few images came up.

[Chinajan]

Soir is evening, Zacs.

Floral woofgang.

I thought 'Evening in Paris' straight away. Mum used it and I can still see the blue bottle in the bathroom.

[Chinajan]

Thanks Milo - yes, I've done that and none of the vintage bottles look anything like the one I describe.

[Zacs-Master]

China, if you Google hat I wrote, you’ll see the very bottle you describe.

[Zacs-Master]

Soirée is the female of evening. As it’s a ladies perfume, this would apply.

I don’t know why I bother.

Evening in Salford?

4711 original ?

[MargoTester]

^ evening in Paris . This looks like the bottle you describe

[Zacs-Master]

Indeed it is Margo. China seems to be being somewhat churlish.

[Chinajan]

Thanks Margo - I'd already googled that and got the same results. None of them are the bottle I described. The lid was taller than the tiny, squat bottle.

By the way, it was a dab-on type.

[Chinajan]

No mally but thanks.

[Zacs-Master]

Could it be your memory is deceiving you? The links Marge and myself have posted show a perfume called Soirée de Paris (as your relatives
‘s recollection) in a squat blue bottle similar to what you describe.
Seems like too big a coincidence for it not to be that.

Evening in Salford, love it !!

Je Reviens by Worth maybe?

I also wondered about Je Reviens but if the top really was longer than the bottle then none of the suggestions so far are correct.
