Perfume ads and sad reflections
Today I happened to find a copy of a women's magazine dating 1989. Judging from pictures, commercial ads and fashion shoots it doesn't seem 23 years have passed, but a whole century! Among the first things I noticed, advertising and pictures in general were rather chaste, and also the articles reflected a certain modesty, a forgotten bon ton that raised a little nostalgia. But what struck me most were perfume ads. In the mag I counted 17, plus three advertorials, for a total of 20 perfume advertisements . And it's not a Christmas number (perfumes ads increase at Christmas time).
