Clair de Lune,

".....and its perfume mingles with the moonlight,

.......In the calm, sad and beautiful moonlight,

Who makes the birds dream in the trees

And sob with ecstasy the jets of water,

The tall, slender fountains among the marbles." - Paul Verlaine

Pan, 1920:

"If Paul Poiret of Paris prepared a perfectly priceless perfume, what is the appellation of the perfectly priceless perfume that Paul Poiret of Paris prepared ? (In case you don't know, the answer " PIERROT.")"

Pan, 1920:

"Still feeling in need of comfort, I went to buy some scent, for a really good perfume, as you know, acts like a balm to the soul, a pick me up to jaded nerves, and is truly worth a guinea a drop, and if you are anything like me, you will not be content to run one special perfume for any length of time, but demand a different scent for every day, for every mood, for every frock, and in Poiret's Rosine creations you can satisfy every need. The bottles are quaintly devised - the scents adorably named. 

I tried to decide between "Forbidden Fruit" (the bottle shaped to resemble a golden apple) and smelling like all the orchards in Kent, and slender, gold-flecked exquisitely hand-painted with birds and fishes, containing a spray like the scented mist that clothes that newly awakened dawn; but I eventually carried off "Pierrot," a dainty conceit of frosted glass, with a black stopper, and an impudent-looking Toby-frill round its neck, and a perfume that suggested dimity and apple blossom and a pure and blameless life) so appropriate, you know). 

I loved " Borgia," a dreamy, languorous scent and, best of all, the bright little Rosine powder- boxes in their gay coats of flowered chintz."
