A Brief Note From 1912 About Smart Parisians

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.”
