Tal 1013,
A Daily Chronicle representative, who called on some famous establish ments in New Bond-street, was told, amongst other interesting facts, that not only are Society and middle-class
fore, but they are showing greater discrimination.
As if fe corroborate this a fashion- ably dressed woman at the moment caine into the establishment to par chase a bottle of scent. Before making her choice she sniffed (de- licately at no fewer than 14 different samples drawn out for her selec- tion.
MEN ADDICTED TO SCENT. Nor are men, observed the mana-i geress, when the lady had left, one whit behind the women in matter of scents. The use of scent by the perfumed popinjay," as he may be called, is a reaction against the hard conditions of life in the army. You would be astonished to know the number of men who consistently we expensive scents. They spray their ties, waistcoats and bair, and some Itimes the glove-seldom the hand- kerchief.
Ladies added the manageress, sometimes bring their dogs to be specially perfumed..
An American woman, said she, brought her pet into the shop, selected an exquisite rosewater, and Ead Fin thoroughly sprayed all over with the luxurious Equid before she walked out satisfied.
Asked what the cost of the scent was, the manageress replied, 25s, an ounce,
GREATER RANGE OF CHOICE, Returning to the use of scent by women, the informant said:
Women have a greater range of choice in Oriental perfumes now than-ever-before. The mystery-"- of the Eastern perfumes seems to be more to their taste nowadays, and we are exporting more to all parts of the world than previously. The French market has also had a big effect on perfumeries. I do not suggest that the old style foral scents are no longer used.
Three old-world flower perfumes have rever lost their attraction- Jasmine, Miquet and Violet. The last named has never waned in popularity. But it is the "mixtures," or Eastern blends, that have proved so fascinat ing to the modern woman.
Having chosen a perfume, a wo man who can afford it will have her bath crystals, face powder, hair wash and other toilet requisites all of the same sweet flavour, no matter what the cost and some of the rarest Indian extracts are as much as seven to ten guineas for a bottle holding little more than an ounce.
