This is from a few listings of 1930s / 1940s Art Deco Perfume Bottles and Novelties that are listed in my store.
By 1931, Bourjois had made Evening in Paris available across the world and it became the leading Bourjois series by 1934. Its popularity helped insulate the company from the worst economic effects of the Great Depression.
The Evening in Paris range included all the usual items found in an extended Bourjois series including Evening in Paris Eau de Toilette, Bath Crystals, Face Powder, Dusting Powder, Compact, Lipstick, and Rouge. Demand peaked towards Christmas and the company introduced new gift sets, novelties, and coffrets at the end of the year specifically for this market in a range of prices to suit different budgets.
There is a fascinating history of Bourjois toileries at this website:

This is a lovely vintage late 30s boxed Evening in Paris coffret set. It is still in its original box. The base is card and printed on the base with the blue and silver bourjois pattern - this is a little area of scuffing - which is to be expected with it sitting on a shelf or table for 90 years. The main contents are covered by a clear plastic lid (with 1930s printed white Bourjois logo on the lid) - and on top of the clear lid is a cardboard cover. There is the original 1930s paper label on the top of this describing the contents.
The set consists of the miniature bristol blue glass perfume bottle. This is 5 cm in height including the metal stopper. The width of the bottle is 3 cm. The set has never been used and the bottle is still 3/4 full of the fragrance. The powder is still attached to the display box and has never been used or opened. It is 6.2 cm in diameter with a height of about 3 cm.
The outer card box is 13.5 x 8.5 x 4 cm.
This is a fair price for this vintage Bourjois collectable novelty perfume bottle.
I am pricing it at £25 for the unopened powder and £25 for the perfume & bottle. This is a fair price with its original 30s packaging too!
