L'Atlantique, 1952:

"Paquin's music box which plays 'The Third Man' or 'La Vie en Rose,' contains three Paquin perfumes, '9 x 9,' 'Ever After' and 'Espoir' in a charming blue box edged in gold, which becomes a cigarette box when bottles are empty. A novelty is the 'Clochette' or bell of black lacquer basketry with a one ounce bottle of perfume on a red setting; this is also a music box!"

Combat, 1954:

"Eau Ever After by Paquin: after its tangerine note at the start, which gives dominance of jasmine and tuberose, here is a radiant perfume. It is swollen with promises, like the little phrase from which it borrows its name, and on which all the English tales: '...and they were happy ever after'. Diluted in an eau de cologne, it symbolizes the happy magnificence of a harvest day. Ruth faces the sun with her dark hair. Boaz closes the arm on the perfume she left."

Combat, 1955:

"Ever After by Paquin - especially recommended for blondes and blondes and young girls. Very fruity, however, it is not reminiscent of any known plant. It is the spirit of youth, deep and captivating and, like it too, imprints everything of risk and enthusiasm."

Fate of the Fragrance:
