Michael Edwards's Family Classification: Floral Oriental
Description: Jean-Charles Brosseau, hatmaker, was looking for a perfume that would bring back the memories of his grandmother's face powder, his youth, family Sunday gatherings and home-baked pastries: a perfume that would also suggest hats and furs! He proposed this idea to Americans who immediately saw its potential for success. The fragrance and the perfume bottle were created in short order and what followed was a real infatuation for this debut perfume which dared to combine gourmet praline and cosmetic notes.
Top notes: Aldehyde, rosewood, geranium, peach
Heart notes: Rose, orris, lily of the valley, ylang-ylang, sandalwood, cedar, vetiver
Base notes: Tonka bean, vanilla, honey, cinnamon, heliotrope, iris, musk
Ombre Rose l'Original 4 piece gift set (Eau de Toilette Spray 100ml, Body Lotion 50ml, Ombre Rose Eau de Toilette 5ml mini, Fleurs D'Ombre Rose Eau de Toilette 5ml mini)
The Alessandro Dell'Acqua signature fragrance was launched in 2000. The face of the fragrance is Helena Christensen. A beautiful blend of floral oriental it features fresh geranium, sweet pea & coriander blend on a heart of peony, rose & hibiscus and bewitching base of incense, sandalwood & musk. A scent that is ideal for those romantic occasions.
The top note of Mahora quickly suggests mystery. Is Mahora the name of a woman, a new continent, or does it refer to the secret garden that everyone carries within? The question remains unanswered. Jean-Paul Guerlain's journeys through the world led him to Mayotte Island where he picked a ylang-ylang flower, then to Nabeul in Tunisia, where he gathered citrus fruit, and to India where he discovered sandalwood and jasmine. He brought home each of these impressions to create Mahora.
Daring and provocative, enigmatic and mysterious, Poison is a perfume with much to say. Dazzling with its spicy heart notes, Poison's message is seductive and perhaps even troubling.
