Combat, 1954:
"Eau Ramage by Bourjois: She appears laughing under her little parasol. And the flowers of her printed dress give off their scents of tender daffodils, vanilla quarantines and wisteria, in the clusters of which the twilight lingers. finely musky background emanates from her... A hint of mint and watercress refreshes everything. envelop them in mist, to taunt the tropical gravity there together."
