The advertising and the bottle’s aesthetic make you fall in love instantly. Bourjois really knew how to market their perfumes. The concept was to capture the beauty of a romantic date in a forest with a stunning lake. Of course, we’re talking about the 1950s, where men wore perfect suits and stiffened haircuts, and women wore beautiful printed dresses with elegant hairstyles. I own the cologne shown in the center image, though mine is a light brown color. I also tried the Eau de Toilette. As for the scent itself, I expected an intense floral, but instead I found a soft chypre. If you’re looking for a comparison, Miss Dior sits much more floral next to Ramage; Ramage is earthier and amber-toned, with leather and woods that are very sweetly musky, giving it that calm, romantic side from the ads. Bourjois manipulated notes of vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli, and moss to create a sweet, musky projection. At first, the aldehydes, bergamot, and jasmine play against the rest, though I sense more of the jasmine as a lily-of-the-valley. An interesting creation by Bourjois; Ramage is incredibly rich.
