Vintage Tabac score

Bought a boxed bottle of Tabac Eau de Cologne today in a thrift shop. $7. The bottle is glass and seems about 5/8 full. The packaging is in pretty good shape. Brown box, with black/silver accents, and the "TABAC" label goes cockeyed and runs into an orange stamp and white "Original Maurer + Wirtz" seal.

The only thing resembling a lot number is "No. 425402" on the back.

There is a product insert that details all items in the Tabac line.

Any ideas of what year this came from? As I've never had experience with Tabac before, or vintage colognes, I'd like some advice on application/wear.
