Bourjois is a French cosmetics company founded in 1863 by Alexandre-Napoléon Bourjois. Originally focused on theatrical makeup, it grew into a widely respected beauty brand, especially in the 20th century. The Evening in Paris line (called Soir de Paris in French) was launched in 1928. It became one of the most famous perfumes and cosmetic lines in the world, especially in the U.S., thanks to its distinctive cobalt blue and silver packaging and affordable luxury appeal.
