Hello and welcome! Please understand that this website is not affiliated with Bourjois in any way, it is only a reference page for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by.

The main objective of this website is to chronicle the history of the Bourjois fragrances and showcase the bottles and advertising used throughout the years.

However, one of the other goals of this website is to show the present owners of the Bourjois perfume company how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances!

Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table), who knows, perhaps someone from the current Bourjois brand might see it.

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."
