"...a renaissance of unsophistication Parfum La Jacee irresistibly it creates as atmosphere of alluring pureness and naive simplicity. A lovely box in black of East Indian design.."
Another 1927 ad reads:
"Before even the earliest of Spring flowers show green tips, Coty introduces a charming odeur that is entirely new. It is called La Jacee. As pleasing a friendship or birthday gift as a man can bestow. Let us look now at Coty's bottle, ' La Jacee.' It sits squat and low."
