This is from a few listings of 1930s / 1940s Art Deco Perfume Bottles and Novelties that are listed in my store.
By 1931, Bourjois had made Evening in Paris available across the world and it became the leading Bourjois series by 1934. Its popularity helped insulate the company from the worst economic effects of the Great Depression.
The Evening in Paris range included all the usual items found in an extended Bourjois series including Evening in Paris Eau de Toilette, Bath Crystals, Face Powder, Dusting Powder, Compact, Lipstick, and Rouge. Demand peaked towards Christmas and the company introduced new gift sets, novelties, and coffrets at the end of the year specifically for this market in a range of prices to suit different budgets.
There is a fascinating history of Bourjois toileries at this website:

This is a lovely wee lot of late 30s boxed Evening in Paris items. On offer here is a little box of face powder (unused and still sealed). The colour is peach. The diameter is 6.2 cm and 3 cm in height.
Then we have a little miniature perfume bottle in its original card box. It is full of perfume and never used. The bottle (including stopper) is 5.7 cm. The width is 2.5 cm. The box is in fairly fine condition and decorated on the front with the Eiffel Tower and in the distance Notre Dame.
The last item is a long faceted Bristol blue glass bullet shape bottle. It has its original label slightly rubbed - and is original silk tassel. It is undamaged. The length from tip to top of the stopper is 7.5 cm. It does not have perfume - as it would have been retailed to be popped into your handbag or wee purse and filled from a larger bottle.
This is a fair price for this vintage Bourjois collectable novelty perfume bottle.
I am pricing it at £25 for the unopened powder and £25 for the perfume & bottle. This is a fair price with its original 30s packaging too! And £20 for the long glass bottle (due to the scuff to the label).
