L'Atlantique, 1952:

"Thirty years as a top-selling perfume is the record behind Corday's 'Toujours Moi'; to celebrate such fame a sister perfume was brought out last summer, 'Toujours Toi'. The row of Corday bottles on the dressing table must also include 'Fame', a light perfume, if one is blond, or 'Tzigane', a spicy scent for brunettes. 'Jet' is discreet enough for all complexions."

Bottles:

In 1973, Fame Eau de Toilette was offered as a gift with purchase in a round glass disk shaped bottle with a unicorn on the front, this vial was suspended from a metal chain and could be worn around the neck.
