The harmonious contrast of the Only The Brave fragrance
Only The Brave is a fragrance that offers several successive olfactory accords bringing together two opposing smells. The first of them plays on a fresh and animal association of lemon and styrax. The second is less explosive but deeper. It assembles cedar and amber for a warm, dry and powdery finish. Finally, Only The Brave is further enriched with a fresh and vibrant note of coriander, the tangy breath of mandarin and the powdery elegance of violet. The benzoin finishes coating the whole thing with sweetness.
The two sets of Only The Brave

Only the Brave, the embodiment of masculine strength
Only the Brave, the embodiment of masculine strength according to Diesel
Only The Brave is like its bottle: a punchy fragrance! It is a symbol of masculine strength as seen by Diesel and he likes to surprise, just like its case which does not go unnoticed. The latter then contains a dynamic and woody juice that warms up with oriental and leathery notes. If its start is very lively, its heart is more flowery, aromatic and woody, while its base is oriental. Only The Brave is especially not made to leave you indifferent and it will then seduce all the confidence that is in you.
Diesel’s strong man
Only The Brave is a fragrance that embodies absolutely everything you love about a man. It is the symbol of strength which mingles with serenity. It is a scent of conviction and assurance, the essence of men who are not afraid to bang their fists on the table and take charge of their lives. Its primary vocation is then to infuse enough energy to find the strength to be accomplished on a daily basis. With Only The Brave, the wearer becomes their own hero for a day. He embodies the one who plays with his strength, who controls his desires and who fulfills his dreams. The Diesel man is himself: Sometimes an athlete who trains, an artist who paints a picture, an actor who shoots an action scene, a rescuer who comes to the aid of a man in danger… He is him – even whether he is in New York, Taiwan or Paris. Only The Brave embodies all of these men at the same time while making them unique. Also, it is now the turn of Liam Hemsworth to embody this new modern hero. The 25-year-old Australian actor, star of the Hunger Games saga, has been chosen as the face of the fragrance. Also, he is more attractive and confident than ever. He is Only The Brave, simply brave.
Only The Brave, a woody and oriental scent
To create Only The Brave, Diesel did not call on one but three perfumers, namely Olivier Polge, Aliénor Massenet and Pierre Wargnye. Only The Brave is like the saying that “opposites attract”. This perfume plays on contrasts to better merge them. The top note is made up of the vegetal side of lemon facing the animal aspect of styrax. The lively and dazzling freshness of the citrus notes opposes the virile and leathery power. Then his heart is warmer. Cedar envelops us in its dry and almost powdery heat, and is accompanied by the more velvety warmth of amber. Finally, the whole is illuminated with violet, benzoin, tangerine and coriander. The whole is very fresh and wonderfully symbolizes strength and freedom.
Loverdose? It certainly speaks to you! So quickly discover the latest fragrance for women in the Loverdose series by Diesel RedKiss .
It was in 1961 that Yves Saint Laurent founded his fashion house of the same name. His style is avant-garde, but also provocative. He likes to shake up classic codes and be where you don’t expect him to be. A fervent ally of women, YSL has contributed to their social liberation. He caused a scandal in particular with the “40 collection”, which took up the retro style worn by women during the Second World War. It will also shock public opinion and many countries with “Opium”, a sulphurous feminine fragrance.
Opium or the story of a myth
Certain perfumes influence an entire life, thus placing themselves in a position of legend, of myth. This is the case for “Opium” released in 1977. This fragrance, complex and opulent, is to this day one of the greatest successes of the YSL house. Regarding the much criticized choice of the name of the perfume, the couturier explains “If I chose Opium as a name, it is because I intensely hoped that it could, through all its incandescent powers, release the divine fluids, the magnetic waves, the eye-catchers and the charms of seduction which give birth to mad love ”… Unfortunately, public opinion does not agree, considering the name of this perfume as an invitation to consume illicit substances, an incentive to debauchery. Some even speak of “intellectual pollution”. Opium, a scent of addiction ”…
Surprisingly, this made women want to try this perfume, which has been adored all over the world, and still enjoys enormous success. “Opium” is a myth, because it is the first time that a perfume dares to speak of sex, drugs or even transgression, since we are, let us not forget, in 1977. “Opium” is a real revolution , but not only olfactory.
The mysterious notes of Opium
It is two talented perfumers who are at the origin of this legend, namely Jean-Louis Sieuzac and Raymond Chaillan. “Opium” takes off on the freshness of orange. This is immediately contrasted by strong and spicy notes such as cinnamon, chilli and pepper. The heart of “Opium” is floral and ultra feminine thanks to the association of jasmine, carnation, ylang-ylang and rose. Finally, the base is sensual, enveloping, intense and very powerful. It mixes Siam benzoin, vanilla, patchouli and opoponax (which is a resin extracted from a shrub, which is found mainly in the Middle East and whose smell is similar to that of myrrh) . As for the bottle, it is the work of Pierre Dinan. It is inspired by an Inrô, a small medicinal vial once used by warriors from the Far East, the Samurai. The latter wore it inside their belt. Initially, the “Opium” bottle is made in a nylon plastic shell. Its transparency will, however, reveal its amber-colored juice. The black and braided cord that leaves from the cabochon creates an ultimate link between the woman and her perfume.
More than a perfume, “Opium” is an ode to freedom. The “Opium” myth has toured the whole world, emphasizing once again the provocative side of Yves Saint Laurent.
Opt for an extreme look with the new Waterproof Liner from Chanel
A more intense look with the Chanel Liner
Cleopatra, Audrey Hepburn, Amy Winehouse… All these great women have in common to have marked history with their audacity and their devastating charm. But did you know what they have in common when it comes to cosmetics? All three are eyeliner enthusiasts! This is also one of their main attributes: a bewitching and unforgettable look, sublimated with a black line capped like a comma. For hundreds of years, eyeliner has been one of the most popular makeup products for women. Today, it is reinventing itself thanks to the know-how of Chanel who soberly decides to call its novelty “Le Liner de Chanel”.
A flexible applicator for smoother movement
The Chanel Liner is presented in a small black tube, at the same time sober, refined and elegant. With him, there is no question of the superfluous. In reality, the Chanel Liner bottle goes above all for the essentials to simplify its handling. Its brush applicator is particularly flexible. Thus, it perfectly follows the movements of the eyelid and glides over it with lightness. Very precise, it allows easy application. His lead, meanwhile, is just as useful for drawing a thin line as a thicker line. With a single gesture, the Chanel Liner stretches the gaze and makes it more bewitching!
The waterproof formula of Chanel Liner
If the liner is traditionally black, Chanel dares the eccentricity and declines its product in 7 different shades: deep black, ultra brown, black red, metallic mauve, golden bronze, silver gray and cobalt blue. Whether you are looking for a versatile style or more extravagant, the Chanel Liner has something to satisfy all your desires. Its colored pigments are contained in a waterproof texture which guarantees it an exemplary hold in all circumstances, without the slightest transfer. Indeed, the Chanel Liner does not fear excess sebum, humidity or perspiration. Its formula also contains a latex film, which allows the product to stretch to the maximum to make its application easier and comfortable.
What gestures for the Chanel Liner?
Chanel Liner can be applied in different ways. For natural makeup, we recommend that you draw a very fine line at the upper base of your lashes. For a more intense rendering, on the other hand, start from the inner corner of your eye with finesse and gradually increase the thickness of your line to its outer corner, in order to draw a comma. Know that stretching your makeup out of your eyes will make it look larger. On the other hand, keep a light hand on the makeup of your lower eyelid. A line that is too imposing on the bottom of the eyes tends to weigh it down and make the eyes smaller.
Tom Ford is a talented designer and a visionary at heart who has never ceased to evolve the world of luxury, haute couture and perfumery. Moreover, he did not hesitate to declare: “I want to create the first true luxury brand of the 21st century. This is how he succeeded in creating a succession of ever more innovative and refined creations. In this continuity, he presents us this time a new juice intended for the summer season. Orchid Soleil should therefore see the light of day by July 2016.
Obviously, as the name of Orchid Soleil suggests, this one is a perfume mainly sewn around the orchid. However, it actually displays a complex recipe revealing the beauty of multiple ingredients. Orchid Soleil is immediately heckled by the assertive personality of pink pepper. This spice is associated here with the zesty acidity of bitter orange. Likewise, the cypress immediately brings a more woody, aromatic and camphoric content to the whole. Then, Orchid Soleil turns to a more floral heart. The red lily reveals all its power, showing itself in turn green, suave, spicy or sunny. Tuberose, for its part, is more heady, fruity and luminous. Finally, Orchid Soleil is gradually moving towards a smoother background. Vanilla develops suave, leathery and animal accents. Patchouli, meanwhile, leaves behind camphoric, woody and humid scents. This intensity is nevertheless softened by the presence of chestnut and whipped cream. Finally, it is at this moment that the orchid comes to close the turn of its floral and delicate touch.
The refined aesthetic of Orchid Soleil
On the bottle side, Orchid Soleil was very strongly inspired by the look of its elder brother, Black Orchid, a fragrance that appeared in 2006 and particularly emblematic for the brand given that it was the brand’s first essence. This one however exchanged its black hue for more copper tones. Nevertheless, the whole is still very elegant and refined, worthy of all the perfection of the Tom Ford house. The look of this case is designed in a very Art Deco trend. Everything is worked with the greatest care, from the delicacy of its fluted glass to its hand-tied lace at its collar or its 23-carat gold-plated inscription directly on its glass. Undeniably, Orchid Soleil is seen as the epitome of the Tom Ford spirit .
In 1895, Estelle Arpels, daughter of a precious stone trader married Alfred Van Cleef, son of a diamond dealer. While their love is unconditional, they also share the love of gemstones. In 1906, the couple founded the Van Cleef & Arpels house, which they naturally set up on Place Vendôme.
The brand will know, a success never denied and Van Cleef & Arpels is known for making jewelry and jewelry sets of incomparable quality. It was in 1976 that the brand launched into perfumery with “First” . In 2009, the brand will unveil “Orchidée Vanille”, a most exotic fragrance.
Van Cleef & Arpels Vanilla Orchid, a vanilla with a thousand and one facets
Here, the Van Cleef & Arpels house makes us discover vanilla in many facets, but especially as we rarely see it. “Orchidée Vanille” is part of the “Extraordinary Collection” of Van Cleef & Arpels, whose main vocation is to highlight a noble and natural ingredient. If the vanilla is at the same time soft, sweet and greedy, it is the exotic facet which will nevertheless dominate the fragrance. Vanilla is the fruit of a green orchid, native to Mexico.
It was the Spaniards who discovered vanilla in the 16th century. In 1630, King Louis XIV ordered that vanilla vines be brought to Reunion Island to be planted there. In 1964, thanks to the creation of the AOC “Vanille Bourbon”, the Vanille Bourbon from Madagascar, that of Mayotte, Mauritius and Reunion are brought together to benefit from the appellation “Vanille Bourbon”. The presence of the orchid alongside the vanilla reinforces the exotic side, the elegance and the femininity of the “Orchidée Vanille” fragrance.
Orchidée Vanille, a fragrance between indulgence and sensuality
“Orchidée Vanille” transports us through exotic lands and offers us a most exotic journey. Soft and warm, vanilla is here accompanied by floral, fruity and woody notes, cradled by languid musks. It is a perfumer who knows vanilla perfectly well, Randa Hammami, who is at the origin of this composition.
The fragrance begins with the association of lychee with mandarin for a tangy and sweet side, but which transports us from the start to these bright exotic lands. Then the heart of “Orchidée Vanille” takes on very feminine floral notes and combines vanilla with Bulgarian rose and violet flower. Finally, the base of “Vanilla Orchid” is intended to be as exotic as it is sensual thanks to the presence of white musks, Toul balm and cedar wood to leave an unforgettable trail behind.
The bottle of “Orchidée Vanille” is the same as all those in the “Extraordinary Collection” of the Van Cleef & Arpels brand. Rectangular in shape, it features an imposing glass. In the center, a sober embossed label indicates the name of the perfume as well as a number. The latter corresponds to the test number chosen by the Van Cleef & Arpels house.
The Décléor brand is a key player in cosmetics . In this case, it is the world’s leading aromatherapy brand and continues to conquer the planet with the impeccable quality of its products. In this case, it has acquired over 35 years of expertise and incorporates the best of nature into its products. Also, in this year 2016, and more particularly in October, a whole new range of care products dedicated to the skin of women over 50 will be launched. The Orexcellence range consists of five regenerating products. Its ambition is to reveal the natural beauty of your skin and to preserve it over time. The latter reveals the expression of your beauty and offers a lasting radiance to your skin.
The natural active ingredients contained in the Orexcellence range
In order to sublimate your skin, Décléor has incorporated many natural components into its formulas. Each of them delivers particular benefits and thus makes your skin more radiant, dense and toned over the course of their applications.
Magnolia gives them a soft, fresh and lemony scent while delivering its calming and relaxing properties. What is more, it has an anti-inflammatory skin power which makes it an ingredient particularly recognized in cosmetology. Peony, for its part, has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, it helps to fight against the swelling of the eyelids. Likewise, it is an excellent antioxidant which helps fight aging of the skin. Lychee also reinforces this effect and has the property of dilating blood vessels. Thus, it facilitates the purification of the blood and the cells of the epidermis. In addition, it has many minerals such as potassium and magnesium. Thus, it strengthens the tone of the skin and is a major ally for blood circulation. Likewise,
The different treatments present in the Orexcellence range from Décléor
This Orexcellence range then consists of 5 specific treatments. The Eye Youth Care is particularly dedicated to the eye area. Indeed, it is a very fragile area of the face which is often called upon by the repetitive movements of our eyelids. Thus, it should be taken care of day after day. Likewise, Décléor Youth Night Balm helps to take care of the skin at the most opportune moment: at night. Indeed, it is at this moment that it regenerates best. In addition, the Concentrated Youth Cream as well as the Youth Oil Serum of the range provide a real booster effect. Their benefits are instantly visible and increase with each application. All of these treatments can be applied daily and help make the epidermis more radiant over the long term. Furthermore, the use of these can be supplemented by a Youth mask. This should ideally rest on the skin for ten minutes and should be applied once or twice a week.
Ottoman leather, the oriental scent of Parfum d’Empire
Cuir Ottaman is the third fragrance in the Parfum d’Empire range . As often, its name draws its origins from that of an ancient fallen empire. More than a perfume, Cuir Ottaman evokes a whole universe: the latter is located halfway between Scheherazade and Suleiman the Magnificent. It combines mystery with the charm that we love so much in the eastern part of the globe. In addition, it gives off a scent of leather with warm, amber accents, a leather that can be worn by a woman as well as by a man.
Leather Ottaman , a fragrance created by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato
Marc-Antoine Corticchiato is none other than the nose that created Cuir Ottoman, as well as the other essences of the Parfum d’Empire collection. The latter is above all a horse enthusiast since his childhood. He would even have liked to make it his profession, but certain turning points in his family life forced him to choose a more academic path. Also, when the mission was offered to him to make a leather-based perfume, he could not help but automatically think of this sublime material covering the saddles of horses. In addition, this talented creator was born in Morocco. So when he created this perfume, he simply took inspiration from his roots and mixed in all the love he always had for sun-drenched plants. Moreover, for him, Parfum d’Empire is a brand that likes to claim the richness of the raw materials used in its creations. These are sublimated and Cuir Ottaman is therefore a perfume that has simply extracted what nature has done best for us to transcribe it.
Empire perfume and its leather scent
By the time Ottoman Leather came out, leather was not very popular in perfumery. Its design took a year of work. The most complicated thing was then to find top notes and heart notes managing to calm all his animal ardor. The perfumer then found his happiness in the Iris of Florence. Leather Ottaman has a lot of it. However, it is an ingredient which is extremely expensive and which is one of the noblest raw materials in perfumery. Also, with its iris heart, Cuir Ottaman is undeniably a very prestigious product. In addition, it is also embellished with tonka bean from Venezuela and jasmine from Egypt. The leather accord is mainly made up of cracked cyst, styrax, birch, raw patchouli and absolute animal vanilla. Cuir Ottoman evokes the magic of harems but above all, the skins of animals which, at that time, were tanned with iris … hence the idea of this perfume. Everything is then enclosed in a classic bottle, with the same shape for allthe line of Parfum d’Empire products . It is simply adorned with an iridescent blue label, paying homage to the starry nights of the Ottoman Empire.
Aziyadé, the provocative essence of Parfum d’Empire
Aziyadé was the 10th perfume of the Parfum d’Empire brand . Also, the least we can say is that it does not lack character. It delivers warm and sensual scents and evokes all the richness and opulence of past civilizations.
Aziyadé, the evocation of a past glory
Parfum d’Empire is a brand that seems, by its name, to devote a special cult to ancient civilizations. Also, it is not the Aziyadé perfume that will prove to us the opposite. This juice is a true evocation of an empire made of wealth. Its opulence evokes fertility and lust. The latter is synonymous with drunkenness. Her voluptuousness seems almost sovereign. It is played with extravagance and then asks only to be released from its bottle. Aziyadé is a perfume that seems to honor the flesh, love and celebration. In this sense, it reminds us of the mundane evenings of past empires and the lust that reigned there.
The opulence of Parfum d’Empire
Aziyadé is an opulent fragrance. Also, it draws all its richness from spicy notes. The latter immediately reveal its aphrodisiac aspect. Indeed, Aziyadé combines cinnamon, cardamom and ginger. In this case, this combination of scents was once used in seduction rituals. They were seen as particularly effective in warming the skin. In other words, Aziyadé plays the erotic card and proudly sports a very carnal aspect. The whole is then embellished with the comforting and warm scent of vanilla. This one is still spiced up with patchouli, cumin and frankincense. New, this is a nod to the sacred ceremonies of ancient Egypt. Aziyadé thus gives off a very special aura. It is unlike any other and its wake is recognizable among all.

Oud de Carthage, the mystical Orientalism of Boucheron
Boucheron is an exceptional jeweler who undoubtedly possesses one of the richest heritages of all those present on the Place Vendôme. His art consists of sublimating the most beautiful precious stones on the planet and revealing their emotions to the world. Frédéric Boucheron has always been fascinated by stones. Thus, it is to the four corners of the world that this one was going to collect these last. As if to pay tribute to this global quest for beauty, Boucheron has today decided to launch a collection of fragrances paying tribute to the most beautiful places that Boucheron passes through. This is where the Oud de Carthage perfume was born.
Boucheron takes us on a trip
As the name of this perfume suggests, this one is very much inspired by Carthage. This place is located northeast of the Tunisian capital. Today, it is one of the most exclusive municipalities in Tunisia. It also brings together many residences of ambassadors and wealthy Tunisian or expatriate fortunes. So, it is not surprising that Boucheron has maintained close ties with this place for many years. What is more, besides its sunny and luxurious aspect, Carthage also has a timeless part. Indeed, in the midst of modern life, many archaeological sites are resurfacing. The latter are also classified as World Heritage by Unesco. Remnants of crusades also mix different cultures.
The oriental and woody composition of Oud de Carthage
To make the Oud de Carthage perfume, the Boucheron house called on the perfumer Dominique Ropion. He chose to materialize the luxurious and golden part of this place by the presence of honey in the top notes of this perfume. This sweet ingredient is associated with an overall breath, which only increases its mysterious side. Then, its heart is enveloped in tonka bean while labdanum envelops everything in its amber, floral and somewhat animal scent. Finally, the oud wood wins out, releasing its precious and characterful aspect in its path while associating it with the sensuality of leather.
Oud Essentiel, the new Absolu d’Orient from Guerlain
In 2016, the house of Guerlain had made a name for itself by developing an exceptional perfume called Amber Eternal. This one joined the collection of the Absolus d’Orient. Following on from this fragrance, Guerlain now presents Oud Essentiel. This unisex juice is offered to us in limited distribution and highlights one of the most precious woods used in perfumery. Marketed in a 125 ml bottle, this one already promises to enchant you with its mysterious and madly sensual aura.
Guerlain’s Absolus d’Orient collection
The Absolus d’Orient collection pays tribute to exotic and noble raw materials in perfumery. Thus, through this assortment of fragrances, Guerlain takes us on a journey. These essences are promises of escape. Guerlain has already created a succession of Santal Royal and Ambre Eternal perfumes . From now on, it is the turn of oud wood to serve as a source of inspiration.
A very popular material in the East, it is also one of the most expensive. Moreover, its price sometimes even exceeds that of gold. The oud leaves behind a woody, leathery and animal trail. Very popular with initiates, the oud has also been used for centuries for medicinal and spiritual purposes. Thus, the new perfume from Guerlain has a universal and timeless scope. If this raw material has been ignored by perfumers for many years, it has been of interest to this sector for some time. It is therefore quite natural that Guerlain turned to this wood to make this new exceptional perfume.
The bewitching fragrance of Oud Essentiel
Oud Essentiel is an essence that we owe to the talented perfumer from the Guerlain house: Thierry Wasser. Occupying this position since 2008, he greatly contributes to spreading the image of this brand throughout the entire planet. This time, he chose to sublimate the oud wood with a combination of spices, flowers and leather. Oud Essentiel takes off with a scent of saffron. Once again, through this choice of ingredients, Guerlain affirms its prestigious image. Indeed, saffron is also called “red gold”. This spice is also one of the most expensive in the world. The rose then takes its place at the heart of this essence. It brings here more nobility and gradually gives way to a more woody trail.
This contains cedar and guaiac wood. Leather, on the other hand, brings more animality to this perfume. Finally, Oud Essentiel is still coated with incense, revealing a more mysterious side. Like each of the essences in this collection, this one is presented to us in a cylindrical bottle entirely lacquered in black. Inspired by the silhouette of Guerlain’s legendary bee bottle, it intensifies its share of mystery more than ever and instantly plunges us into a very oriental universe. Thus, its label is dotted with numerous arabesques and its golden color only gives more chic to its visual.
