Created with the support of Online-store ILE DE BEAUTE
This collection of I conceived a long time. After all, not everyone knows about the flavors that are very strongly influenced the perfume industry, and entered into the history of perfumery.
Frankly, flavors I would like to introduce a lot more, but cut back on its list of 14 options. Today will tell you about the seven masterpieces.
Few of them have survived to this day in its "original form." The formula has changed due to bans the use of any components in the formulation, but perfumers do everything possible to reformulate their masterpieces with minimal losses.
Very lucky our parents (those who were born in the Soviet Union). Their familiarity with perfume began immediately with masterpieces, so now they feel more boring, fruit and confectionery kompotik vanilla.
Masterpiece №1. CHANEL № 5 (1921)
Let's start with the well-known masterpiece. Someone may not know the fragrance in all its concentrations and flankers, but about "the fifth Chanel" just heard.
Respect what is available under the brand Chanel, but not a fan of most Coco, which during the Second World War, went over to the SS. Madame was just hitrosdelannoy. And if not for Winston Churchill, our all known icon of style and would have stayed behind bars because of collaboration with the Nazi regime.
aroma chanel №5 was released in 1921, it was created by perfumer Ernest Beaux Russian origin. as Bo himself wrote that the fragrance was created in 1920 on returning from the war, and inspired him to Murmansk lakes. I myself was in this amazing city 5 years ago: the lake, the truth does not check out, but the polar night and the big snowdrifts met :-)
Ernest Beaux offered Coco Chanel to choose from 10 flavors. Coco stopped on aroma number 5. Weight in the selection of flavor was the fact that the number of 5 Mademoiselle Chanel felt happy for myself.
Excellent advertising in 1954 aroma Marilyn Monroe made that a reporter's question that she wears when she goes to bed, said: "A few drops of Chanel №5".
And what now?
Of all the modern versions of the "five" and the floral-aldehyde fragrance advise you to look at the Chanel No 5 L'eau. Lite "five", rose and ylang here act in the title role for the nose. Aroma adapted to all situations: everyday work, important events, but at least for training in the gym, you can wear it.
Masterpiece №2. ESTEE LAUDER YOUTH DEW (1953)
Aroma, which began with the American history of perfumery.
Released in 1952, it was originally presented to the world as a bath oil. A year later, due to its great popularity among Americans, released in 1953 in the spirit of concentration. It was the first American-made perfume.
Youth Dew fragrance was created by perfumer Zhosefinoy Catapano, under the strict control of most of Mrs. Estee Lauder.
Estee Lauder idea was that flavor was available, and the ability to move away from the graft Europe the right to use perfume in the evening. Lauder wanted her scents that people can use at any time of the day. Perfume was at 70% of essential oils, over the years the formula has changed, but its meaning is not lost flavor.
And what now?
Youth Dew even in an updated version sounds old-fashioned, I had the opportunity to compare the vintage flavor with a new one.
Eau de parfum for me to smell the wax, wrapped in peel, incense, spices and ambergris. The aroma is incredibly durable and with a rich plume. Respect for the brand, the new version is not rolled up to the trivial.
Masterpiece №3. YVES SAINT LAURENT OPIUM (1977)
Oh, and I have done Opium noise at the time. Mrs. Estee Lauder accused Yves Saint Laurent that Opium suspiciously similar to its offspring Youth Dew.
The public blamed the addictive title and slogan, which refers to the relationship: "OPIUM — for those who are addicted toYVES SAINT LAURENT".
Do you think all these prohibitions and censure stopped Yves Saint Laurent? Certainly not, the flavor in the first months after the publication of his collected on sales of about $ 3 million, and eventually became a bestseller that changed the world of perfumes on its head.
The aroma is rich in sound and was in his time, as they say now, haypovym.
And what now?
Opium reissued more than 30 times, but even an updated version reveals a powerful "spetsievoy bomb" of pepper, coriander, cinnamon and laurel. But then the aroma becomes soft, creamy, clearly audible incense. The luxurious and, they say, more delicate its earlier versions.
Masterpiece №4. GUERLAIN SHALIMAR (1925)
Jacques Guerlain created it in 1921, but saw the light of this truly legendary fragrance only in 1925.
The first oriental fragrance, the creation of which was inspired by the history of Guerlain Shalimar Garden. According to others, Jacques Guerlain, exploring ethyl vanillin, added to another composition GUERLAIN home "Jicky", released in 1889, at the end he got the legendary SHALIMAR. the bottle was designed by Raymond Guerlain crystal Baccarat.
And what now?
Poor house Guerlain, he hardship to litigation and the constant change of the bottle design. A lot of fakes were on the scent, the very first bottle fake appeared already in 1927. More than 50 times the vial was modified.
But even today, in an updated version Shalimar remains regal both in the bottle and flavor: candied candied fruit, pleasant vanilla, very bright on sunny days. Appreciate even those who this whole vintage is difficult and unpleasant to the nose.
Masterpiece №5. LANCOME CLIMAT (1967)
I am sure that some of you (or your grandmother and mother) remembers the aroma of "Twist of Fate", which wanted to get myself every woman of that time. Behind him there were huge queues, and the men saved their money to give her lover a treasured bottle.
However, despite such a huge popularity of perfume, in the mid-70s Lancome decided to stop the production of fragrance, created by Gerard PIMU. Reissue held in 2005 to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the company Lancome.
Updated aroma suffered severe changes both in the bottle and in the formula ("Thank you" IFRA standards that can not be simplified to perfume). For 40 years, the perfume industry has undergone great changes in the form of prohibitions on certain components. Perfumes have good to try to recreate so loved by many Climat. What do you think happened is they?
And what now?
LANCOME CLIMATAs they say, is not what it used to be. But this is not surprising. But in the modern version of the exquisitely played with floral-aldehyde notes and tonka bean and vetiver make a velvety composition.
Masterpiece №6. THIERRY MUGLER ANGEL (1992)
The debut fragrance from designer Thierry Mugler created by perfumer Olivier Cresp. The aroma of lightning was the best gourmet flavor, the success of which so far no one has managed to surpass.
In addition, he was the sweet aroma, until Angel in 1992, such a sweet flavor simply did not exist. He has collected a whole sweetness of honey, caramel, chocolate, coconut, melon, vanilla. The aroma is considered one of the most persistent.
On all fronts Angel was the most-most: among the best gourmet flavors, sweet and very first perfume pale blue.
And what now?
Chocolate Patchouli - a highlight of Mugler. With them it is necessary to meet all who are not indifferent to the theme of perfume. Angel and its flankers created a whole army of fans and admirers. About Flanker Angel and Alien is a separate item, they are no worse than their ancestors.
Masterpiece №7. CHRISTIAN DIOR MISS DIOR (1947)
aroma Miss Dior It was presented to the light in 1947 simultaneously with the first collection of clothes from Dior.
Christian Dior is not just "threw" the idea of the fragrance perfumers, and immediately took a full part in the creation, not just mix the ingredients. Dior did not stop even the fact that when testing the flavor to all my friends girls reviews were mostly negative. Not everyone understood this song, because it was a new trend in perfumery.
But truly revolutionary fragrance still saw the light thanks to cunning and to some extent the audacity of Dior. At the entrance to the show he put models, which sprayed all arrived for the event. Showing completely absorbed the fragrance Miss Dior, which brought the flavor incredible popularity.
about changes Miss Dior and flankers of the famous fragrance can speak for a long time, and perhaps this will be a separate topic for an article. And I hope that Demachy kgda ever fired. Otherwise, from Dior will remain only memories.
In the second part I will prepare the same seven flavors that changed the world not only perfumes but also our with you.
