Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Ma Robe Plissée

French Maison Guerlain has given us a beautiful collection of little black dresses over the years. Dresses you could wear any time of the day, and always chic and feminine. La Petite Robe Noire Ma Robe Plissée (Ma Robe Plissée/Pleated Dress) is a new little black dress that comes out in June within the La Petite Robe Noire collection. The fragrance La Petite Robe Noire from 2012 is the pillar for this line, with the most recent edition being La Petite Robe Noire Velours.

The new edition is announced as a ‘must-have’ of Parisian chic; worn as a casual, weightless and elegant, ‘athleisure’ style, pleated dress ideal for a weekend of cruising at the French Riviera.

Top notes: Mandarin, Cherry, Apricot
Heart: Rose, Almond, Black tea
Base: Patchouli, White musk

A green Eau de Toilette that whirls together the radiance of citrus fruit, the bite of green notes, and the indolence of almond and delicious apricot notes. A wave of exhilarating rose petals then makes an entrance. And last but not least, curls of white musk and patchouli distinguish its unforgettable sillage. Thierry Wasser has composed a bespoke piece: a creation that boasts an intoxicating delicacy and a rare elegance.

The legendary ‘inverted heart’ flacon has been given a bold, modern new spin. In its crystalline transparency tinted a delicate luminous pink, a deceptively casual, yet utterly chic dress is revealed – perfect for setting sail!

Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Ma Robe Plissée will be available as a 30, 50, and 100 ml Eau de Toilette. Come into the wonderful world of Guerlain.

 

 

 

 

Kenzo World Power

Fashion house Kenzo presents a new perfume for women World Power. The new fragrance belongs to the Kenzo World Collection. It has been made to be an olfactory manifestation of creativity and composed without any floral notes. The new creation, Kenzo World Power, is following other editions of the Kenzo World Collection: Kenzo World from 2016, Kenzo World Intense from 2017, and Kenzo World Eau de Toilette from 2018. At the beginning of 2019, Kenzo World presented a limited collection of the first three editions of the Kenzo World Fantasy Collection in unchanged compositions.

An oriental perfume that dares to free itself from floral codes for a femininity full of strength and authenticity.

Kenzo.

This new edition perfume is infused with a freshly salty/sweet aroma to make it more lingering and more summery. The composition of a strong character invites us to write our own rules, with a focus on clear expression, to show who we really are. Our power, to show it to the world.

Kenzo World Power is giving specific contrasts: bitterish, sweet, and gourmand. In the opening, cypress plays a major role; it is borrowed from a masculine olfactory wardrobe, giving this female composition an aromatic and spontaneous opening. In the core of the composition are salt crystals that form special nuances toward the gourmandish and with almondy tonka beans in the base, to make it a daring, fresh and light fragrance to be worn during the day.

Kenzo World Power preserves the same bottle shape as the previous editions, this time with a body of transparent glass and sunny and bright yellow liquid inside. It was created as an ode to diversity and freedom.

Kenzo World Power is available as 30, 50 and 75ml Eau de Parfum.

 

 

 

 

By Kilian Love, Don’t Be Shy Rose and Oud

Kilian’s classic Love, Don’t Be Shy gets interpreted in the new limited edition for 2019 with Rose & Oud. The edition is the first of the new Special Blends series that highlights the incredibly rich and varied aspects of oud oil.

Love By Kilian Don’t Be Shy Rose and Oud gets its name inspired by love and of the exquisite composition of expensive oud oils. Created by the famous perfumer Calice Becker, the new edition perfume is a powerful, and tantalizing fragrance made of Bulgarian roses, oud, and agarwood. 

Called the ‘Wood of Gods’, oud is formed in the truns of Agar trees where black resin produces a captivating fragrant oil. Like a fine liquor, each year this Agar tree produces a vintage that is then blended to perfection by Kilian Hennessy.

Love, Don’t Be Shy Rose and Oud celebrates the floral facet of the original fragrance with the warm, beautiful and iconic Bulgarian Rose. It also unveils a new facet through an intoxicating Oud from Southern Asia. Two precious oils, so celebrated in perfumery for centuries, make the core marshmallow delicacy into a deeper dare to love like its home.

As it is engraved on the bottle, this is a Special Blend for 2019. The black lacquered flacon is decorated with a gold plate with handmade carvings of precious ingredients. Oud and gold are synonymous with their value and rarity. The flacon comes in a black lacquered wooden box with a golden key.

Love By Kilian Don’t Be Shy Rose and Oud is available as 50ml Eau de Parfum.
