Nope, Not a Figment of My Imagination

Indelibly marked in my memory.  My bottle was smaller, but the image is the same.  Image taken from the Maja perfume Pinterest board: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/coletah/maja-perfume/

When I was a girl perfume samples would get passed on to me, either by my mother or my paternal grandmother Margaret.  I think Grandmother would get a ton of these samples at at the upscale cosmetic counters she frequented.  I loved these little things--I pretended they were fancy liquor bottles for my Barbies.  One that I always remember had a Spanish lady in red and black on the label.  Looking up "perfume Spanish lady" today on Google brought up the exact image I was thinking about.  Maja perfume.  I'm not sure how that smells when still good. I have some dim memory of it smelling like all the others by the time it got to me--old perfume past it's expiration date.

The blog Myrurgia Perfumes has more info.
