Le Parfum du 68 by Guerlain

Welcome to the number 68 of Les Champs Elysees

                                         Photo source: Internet.

1913, Guerlain moved his boutique to the Champs-Elysées, just a few hundred meters from his first factory. To celebrate the opening of his new boutique, Jacques Guerlain created Parfum des Champs-Elysées for his Parisian admirers. The frarance came in a magnificent turtle-shaped bottle in Baccarat crystal, a witty allusion to the exceedingly slow pace of construction.
A century later, Guerlain continues to reinvent itself. The legendary address—68, avenue des Champs-Elysées—elegantly embodies French art de vivre. Artists and craftsmen of worldwide renown have redesigned this superb setting for a new century of beauty and passion, a new adventure for Guerlain.
To celebrate this newest chapter in the epic story of Guerlain, Thierry Wasser has created Parfum du 68, taking inspiration from the very essence of the house’s identity. Made in Guerlain’s image, the fragrance, like the house itself, weaves a thread between the past and the future. More than a homage, it is a declaration.
The scent, floral and woody, plays off the contrast between warm and cool spices and harmoniously blends everlasting flower and rose in a unique floral duet. A bouquet of heliotrope and benzoin envelops the fragrance, leaving behind a trail that is irresistibly Guerlain.



REVIEW
Welcome to the number 68 of Les Champs Elysees. Like the immortal legend of Guerlain immortelle flower is the cornerstone of this spicy woody creation composed by 68 elements. Amongst those precious ingredients, sparkling citrus on top, dusty benzoin, cool and warm spicy notes, a veil of flowers, creamy tonka bean and airy incense creates a warm, sensual and everlasting alluring base with a very prominent "Guerlinade" aura dressed in smooth sueded leather. A true modern classic that weaves a thread between the past and the future.

Superb work by Thierry Wasser.

Sample thanks to my friend Laura at Guerlain counter at El Corte Inglés.


Bienvenido al número 68 de Les Champs Elysees. Al igual que la leyenda inmortal de Guerlain, la flor inmortal es la piedra angular de esta especiada y amaderada creación compuesta por 68 elementos. Entre esos ingredientes preciosos, cítricos brillantes en la parte superior, benjuí polvoriento, notas especiadas frescas y cálidas, un velo de flores, haba tonka cremosa y aireado incienso crean una base cálida, sensual y eterna con una aura y una "Guerlinade" muy prominente, vestida de suave ante. Un verdadero clásico moderno que teje un hilo entre el pasado y el futuro.

Sobresaliente trabajo de Thierry Wasser.

Sample gracias a mi amiga Laura del espacio Guerlain en El Corte Inglés.

BLACK by Puredistance Master Perfumes

Imagen
A breathtakingly elegant, addictive, charming and evocative perfume that is truly memorable THE PERFUME "You are allowed to let your mind and senses fly and paint your own picture based on those lines, colors and textures" BLACK  is an experience in its own, a fragrance that is imposing, but refined and elegant, powerful but delicate, dark but bright, mysterious and sensual, a composition that I can define as a dangerous treat and an olfactory journey through different phases like a book, a movie or a piece of music can do, even a painting where the individual is always subject to its own interpretation and able to feel whatever that paint evokes in its own mind without judging which materials the artist used, which is the formation or references, the inspiration,etc., you are allowed to let your mind and senses fly and paint your own picture based on those lines, colors and textures. NOTES As a consequence of the concept of BLACK (that treasures the beauty of...

MUNLARK ASH BY MIHAN AROMATICS

Imagen
Straight from the heart of a forest in Australia comes Munlark Ash, the latest addition to the Mihan Aromatics portfolio THE PERFUME Munlark Ash is reminiscent of the undeniable beauty of Australia’s bushland and outback. Made with rich spices and woody notes, the parfum’s delicate smokiness alludes to what remains undisturbed, and undiscovered. Alongside cedar wood, black pepper and fir needles, Munlark Ash honours  the Australian Blue Cypress Tree traditionally known as ‘Munlark’ by the Rembarrnga people of the North ern Territory. The parfum celebrates  the complexity of Australia’s flora and fauna, alongside the Indigenous Australians to whom it belongs.   Resinous, cleansing, nostalgic and arboreal Munlark Ash cherishes the nurture provided by Australia’s land and trees, encouraging indulgence in the rejuvenation they offer. To mark the release of Munlark Ash, Mihan Aromatics have collaborated with Heath Wae, a Byron Bay b...

Cafe Tuberosa by Atelier Cologne

Imagen
Hyper realistic fresh coffee beans. One of the best coffee based scents that I've ever smelled Opening with the most realistic coffee note I've ever smelled merged with the typical citrus freshness of Atelier's DNA and heritage thanks to the mandarin and the bergamot. To the hyper realistic fresh coffee beans is added a tuberose that begins being green and becomes juicy and creamy as the time goes by to join a wonderful and syrupy rose, the cocoa and the vanilla, creating a sensual mix that I find super addictive The fragrance ends up resting on a base of cocoa, vanilla with floral nuances and aroma of coffee. This is probably one of the best coffee based scents that I've ever smelled. The longevity is fantastic and the sillage pretty good Once again a fantastic creation by Atelier, Bravo! Notes: Calabrian Bergamot, Sicilian Mandarin, Guatemalan Cardamom, Rose Oil, Indian Tuberose, Coffee, Madagascar Vanilla and Cacao Pod. Apertura con la nota de café mas realista ...
