    This review is for the original fragrance. Launched in 1928 (France) and in 1929 US. Created by Ernest Beaux, the fragrance was a soft classic sweet floral parfum with top notes of violets and...

    I got this, very unexpectedly in a chemist in the red light district of Amsterdam. It was on sale beside a lot of other things that I could not identify the use for and frankly wouldn't want to. ...

    Ahh in a world where super-soapy fragrances have become their own genre this nostalgic powdery aldehyde seems totally fresh. I actually really like this scent. I've never smelled the original, but...

    Earlier this month, I was elated to find a half-full bottle of Evening in Paris at a vintage store. There was no box, and the label was completely missing, but it was definitely Evening in Paris...

    I love Evening in Paris by Bourjois. I have the reformulated version by the Chanel group and I think it smells great. Very rosy, usually I cannot wear rose scents but this one goes great with my...

    This review is for the new formulation as I have yet to find a vintage version that hasn't gone off. Goes on Chanel-ish. Fades to a nasty Jasmine-LOV that always smells like rotting white flowers...

    Wow, I guess I'm on the wrong review category, because all I have is the original Evening in Paris. I have the powder and the fragrance from the early 60's, which was in my older sister's storage...

    I really wanted to try this reformulated version and was going to purchase online. However, while shopping at Marshalls I found it on clearance for $16 and was about to grab it up. There was an...

    One of the reviews of Soir de Paris mentions it's soapy scent then says that's because Soir was the most popular perfume after WWII and soap companies based their product on it. The interesting...

    I have the updated version of Soir de Paris, and found it to be a lot like the current Chanel #5 - aldehydic floral over contemporary woods. Starts more floral, gradually that wears off and the...

    This was my grandmother's favorite perfume and the first gift my grandfather bought her when they were dating. About 5 years ago I found a full, original bottle at an antique store and gave it to...

    The reformulation is quite different from the original. Both are wonderful fragrances, but I think I like the original better.

    Funny how both Guerlain's L'Heure Bleue and Soir de Paris can be so blue. Unlike the Guerlain, Soir de Paris (Evening in Paris) is a summery breeze along a sweet-scented Seine. The jasmine flowers...

    Although it's been reformulated, I still got a definite scent memory of the original, my Granny's favorite. Apologies to the reformulation purists (and I tend to be one of them), but this...

    I love old perfumes. When I found that this one was being made again, if altered somewhat, I searched around and ordered it. I might have preferred the unchanged scent as I was able to compare it...

    Originally launched in 1929, it was a favorite of 1950s women (especially my mom), then disappeared by 1969. I was thrilled when it got reformulated and relaunched by Chanel "nose" Jacques Polge in...
