Hearst's, 1929:
"For well she knows that Memory is woven about the elusive things of life ... a strain of music — an enticing perfume. Such a perfume is Ciro's DOUX JASMIN . . . fresh, enduring— ardent as young love — scintillant as the bursting blossoms of Spring. With it, one may weld the silver chain that binds the flying feet of memory. With it, one may find a fragrant way to say Remember Me. ... Doux Jasmin Face Powder in Apritan shade, lends the true Continental sun-bronzed hue."
