"Smart women carry bag-dabs you one? If not call at The Gift . Fields, Risco resident, to Cape... bag-dabs the latest French perfumery, BAG DABS— direct from France. A solid perfume Mother will Appreciate. Will not evaporate, turn rancid or spill in her hand bag. Four odors: Narcissus, Lakme, Jasmin, Orange Blossom, in two sizes $1.25 - $1.75."
"Satisfactory solid scent at last! The season’s successful novelty. Packed in French hand painted, non-porous, unbreakable boxes (not celluloid). “Edouardo” brings from their factory at Grasse what every perfumer has been trying for and what every woman wants - a solid perfume - that can be carried safely and daintily - that will not turn rancid, evaporate, nor spill in the bag. Just the thing for prizes, favors of the small gift - inexpensive, lasting and exquisite. The colors denote the odeurs: Narcissus in Blue, Jasmin in Green, Lakme in Red, Orange Blossom in Amber, and Rose in Pink"
"One need no longer leave their favorite perfume on the dressing table. Edouardo Bag-Dabs may be had in sets of three different odors. A dab from each makes an individual blend. This satisfactory solid perfume is now being imported by Edouardo and is for sale throughout the country in the better shops under the name "Edouardo's" Bag-Dabs. Edouardo Bag-Dabs, both perfume and boxes, are made in France. Be sure to ask for Bag-Dabs by name. Parfums EDOUARDO."
"If you are a user of the famous Bag-Dabs, you will appreciate the appeal of Lilas de Paques. Lilas de Paques is bottled and sealed in France, and is exclusively an Edouardo product. The beautiful hand'painted containers are also imported from France."
"Solid Perfume Sticks. There is nothing new about solid perfume, of course. Parfums Edouardo was probably among the first to introduce it in the United States early in 1926 in the form of "Bag-Dabs." Narcissus, Jasmin, Lakme, and Orange Blossom fragrances came in solid form packaged in hand- painted, non-porous, unbreakable containers."
