From the October 1, 1912 New York Times:
Paris–Ultra-smart Parisians in search of a novel sensation have discovered a new use for scent. Instead of using morphia, cocaine or caffeine, they now employ as a stimulant hypodermic injections of otto of rose and violet and cherry blossom perfumes.
An actress was the first to try the new practice. She declared that forty-eight hour after the injection of the perfume known as ‘new mown hay’ her skin was saturated with the aroma.”
