A new line of Fragrances, ata
fraction of the cost, has surfaced
on the North Shore,

ft’s Not Parfums de Toilettes are
causing a revolution among the
French perfume companies,

This new fine carries scents
remarkably similar to 12 of the
world’s leading French perfumes
— like Georgio, L’Air du Temps
and Chanel No. 5 — yet claims not
to duplicate the originals.

INDIVIDUAL NAMES

Each boute therefore is labelled
with its own name, such as Eva
with its similar long-lasting delicate
fragrance as Andais-Anais, or
Hommage with its similar seent to
Oscar de fa Renta.

Alan Bianchard, said the idea
behind It’s Not was to create a
totally new and original perfume
with a scent Canadian women were
accustomed to,

The vibrant colors incorporated
into the simple package, and the
$22.95 price tag for a 3-1/3 ounce
atomizer, makes it’s Not an at-
tractive product.

FOR WOMEN who like to indulge in fine French perfume,

lifie flowers and herbs.

tled in Canada was introduced fast

After its resounding success, {1's
Not is now being marketed in
British Columbia.

Blanchard says there is a huge
market eager to enjoy the luxury
of rich fragrances at a sixth of the
cost, and he said he hopes /r’s Not
will become a household product.

10 scents for women and two for
men.
