Must you marinate in it?

Evening In Paris…during a garbage strike.

Is the Seine flushed with chemicals tonight?

That fragrance was sold at Woolworth’s cosmetic counter in the 50’s.

Cue “An Evening in Paris” title song :

I’d say it’s time to retire that stupid pseudo-WW1 gas mask look.

Evening In Paris? Haven’t seen that one in decades.

Well, it’s certainly strong!

Apparently they did not mention which evening in Paris. In this case it must be Nov 16, 1940

More like a night in a stockyard.

wow! I remember when you could buy those really tiny bottles of perfume at the Ben Frankline store and “Evening in Paris” was one of them! in a cobalt blue glass bottle

Is today’s strip a commentary on the perfume or Paris itself?

I cannot stand to smell perfume when I am in a restaurant! I want to smell my FOOD. Actually, I have come to very much dislike ALL perfume and cologne. Unless it’s extremely light. No one should smell your cologne unless they are hugging you. That. Close. >sigh<

I don’t know what what the City of Venice,Italy is like these days or smells like,but back in the mid 80’s it was Very shall I say “RIPE” and was the Only Place I volunteered to Stay Onboard for Engineering Watches and turned down Liberty. You could Smell the waterways from where our Ship was Anchored. It might be cleaned up now,but back then,No Way ! The canals doubled as their sewers. This was verified by those who went ashore on Liberty. I don’t think Paris could of ever been like it or worse.

“Evening in Paris” was a very popular perfume in the 50s and 60s.

One day I thought the woman in the cubicle next to mine had spilled a bottle of perfume, the odor was so pungent. No, it’s just what she had “dabbed on” that morning.

There ARE some people, like me, who have a very real & annoying sensitivity to aerosols such as perfumes. Perfumes are nice – in very small doses! Please. Thank you.

If I can smell you before I see you, you definitely have too much of something on.

The full name is “An Evening in Paris During a World War I Gas Attack”.

Bottled in the finest sewers in Paris.

“Smells more like ‘Low Tide in El Segundo’!”. Any sitcom fans out there?
