"La Parfumerie Diaphane dont la célèbre poudre de riz Sarah Bernhardt a depuis longtemps consacré la réputation dans le monde entier nous offre aujourd hui une nouvelle création d élite l'Eau d'Ambre. Cette eau de toilette d une grande persistance de parfum et d'un arôme délicat qui révèle la véritable élégance s'emploie indistinctement sur le mouchoir ou dans le vaporisateur. Le public mondain a déjà accordé à l'Eau d'Ambre ses lettres de grande naturalisation."
