Bourjois/Evening in Paris has a fascinating history – documented on the Boujois web site. The company was started in 1863. The company made perfumes, soaps and makeup etc. (Look under “Brand History”.) The company was started in 1863 in Paris – and it had theatrical origins. In 1924 “Mon Parfum ” was created – followed by “Soir de Paris” in 1928. I love the Evening in Paris blue bakelite containers such as the Door, the Owl and the Clock – but they are hard to find complete! Also the beautiful blue glass bottles. The vintage containers are so much more interesting!
