You are what is called a "soft touch" and anyone with a good story ean catch your ear and empty your pocketbook.

"ENVOL"
"Envol is Lancome's latest creation.
It is a most original perfume which will arise intorest among an international clientele. Similar to none, "Envol" is a. testimony for the accomplishment of what can be achieved in the highest standard of flower perfumes. "Envol" is based on the lily combined with rose and jasmin. Fresh and subtle, dellcate and caressing, its fragrant value increases until the perfume unveils on a rich note of woods which gives it the tenacity the modern woman wants and which is found in no other perfumes for the younger public.
"Envol" means the taking off of a bird and this name has been chosen because the perfume is as soft as a feather's touch.
It is by no means easy to make a high- class flower perfume because most are either heavy and covering pr evaporating without leaving memories. "Envol" will satisfy the young girl and the young woman who feels that a perfume must suit their personality.. It is essentially, in our modern times, where everything becomes synthetic and artificial, a symbol and a remembrance of the values of nature of which the flowers symbolize, since the oldest ages, youth and charm.
Lanegme, the perfumer and creator of Paris, la happy to submit "Envol" to the distinctive public of Hongkong, who will discover that no other perfume spreads as much youth and loveliness as "Envol"
