Cœur Battant, all the palpitations of Provence in the new Louis Vuitton perfume

Since its creation, the Louis-Vuitton house has been attracted by travel, a distant elsewhere and a desire for a change of scenery. It is also thanks to its trunks intended for travelers that the Louis-Vuitton house became known. While many of its perfumes have thus found their source of inspiration in exotic countries, the latest can originate not far from here … Inspired by the region of Grasse, world capital of perfumery, Louis Vuitton has decided to enrich its Les Parfums de Louis Vuitton collection with a new fragrance called Cœur Battant.

Cœur Battant, a fragrance inspired by the floral fields of Grasse

Grasse is a very special town on the Côte d’Azur, whose town center always buzzes with a floral and sunny scent. Since the 16th century, this emblematic city in the south of France has been renowned for its olfactory industry. There reigns a certain luxurious elegance associated with a soothing art of living. However, it is precisely all this that can be found in the Cœur Battant perfume by Louis Vuitton. Following on from Attrape-Rèves of 2018, it opens up a new summer dream, bright and comforting. Designed by Jacques Cavallier, the Cœur Battant perfume is inspired by fields of flowers as far as the eye can see and summer scents. “Cœur Battant invites you to listen to your heart and to live each moment with passion”.

Cœur Battant, a floral and contemporary fragrance

Cœur Battant by Louis Vuitton begins with a fruity and luminous combination of fresh pear and jasmine. This blend gives it a modern and poetic breath. Then, to give more depth to this fragrance, Louis Vuitton incorporates ambrette seeds. Made from Indian hibiscus, these little beans give birth to a musky, powdery, animal and slightly fruity absolute. A prestigious ingredient, exclusively reserved for fine perfumery, ambrette is succeeded by a more woody and elegant accord of oak moss, patchouli and narcissus. Thanks to these elements, it preserves a certain touch of nostalgia. Cœur Battant by Louis Vuitton is a “fragrance with an irresistible character, suspended between freshness and sensuality”.

A bottle signed Marc Newson

On the aesthetic side, Louis Vuitton relies on genuine luxury with simplicity. Coeur Battant is presented to us in the emblematic bottle identical to the entire Louis Vuitton collection. Designed by Marc Newson, this container is at the same time pure, sober and elegant. Its virgin lines are devoid of any frills. Only its name is displayed in black typography on its transparent glass. Inside, its juice seems to be covered with light. The whole is surmounted by a black cap stamped with the Louis-Vuitton brass hallmark. Everything is contained in a cylindrical case in luxurious and refined white and gold colors. Cœur Battant by Louis Vuitton is available in versions of 100 and 200 ml, as well as in a travel set comprising 4 mini bottles of 7.5 ml.

Cologne at 68, like Guerlain’s prestigious address on the Champs Elysées

We are talking to you a short time ago about the perfume of L’Homme Idéal from Guerlain. Today we present you the unisex Cologne perfume from 68.

When we discover this name of perfume for the very first time, it tends to surprise. Also, rest assured, we are going to enlighten you because, obviously, the name of Cologne of 68 has a meaning. In addition, it refers to two elements. On the one hand, Guerlain has its most prestigious address at 68, avenue des Champs Elysées in Paris. On the other hand, this essence, signed by perfumer Sophie Labbé, is made up of 68 ingredients. As you will have understood, this daring creation has chosen its theme and this number then takes on its full meaning as if to become a veritable golden number for the house of Guerlain.

Is Guerlain superstitious?

To believe the name of this fragrance, it could be that Guerlain is somewhat superstitious. However, it seems that the house was right to bet on this number. Indeed, 68 rhymes since 2006, date of the appearance of this Cologne, with a rather happy coincidence. It must be said that this “stroke of luck” dates back to its beginnings. Indeed, Guerlain was one of the first to settle on the Champs Elysées. Who would have thought at the time that this new commercial artery designed on an old swamp would become one of the most beautiful avenues in the world? And yet… This Cologne from 68 seems to be much more than a perfume, it is a legacy of the history of the house of Guerlain. Also, it absolutely had to bring together noble raw materials to live up to all the prestige of this great French house.

Cologne du 68, an original and tenacious creation

Cologne from 68contains exactly 68 ingredients. It was produced by Sophie Labbé and undoubtedly belongs to the very elegant register of Guerlain. It takes off with energizing citrus notes such as green mandarin, lime and petitgrain. It then plays on contrasts and spices up with cardamom, coriander, ginger and pepper. Then, the myrtle, the immortelle and the mastic tree give it an aromatic touch immediately softened by a perfectly ripe and perfectly juicy pear. The heart includes orange blossom, frangipani flower, jasmine and iris. This floral blend then gives a dose of delicacy to Cologne from 68. Finally, it ends with a very woody and assertive base where we can distinguish cedar, vetiver, cypress, and oud wood. To finish, benzoin and opoponax try to soften the whole. The composition is borrowed from an extreme refinement and one undeniably feels the class and the mastery of the very famous Guerlain house.

Comfort Lip Oil, Clarins lip care

The lips are one of the most fragile areas of our body. What is more, these are subjected to many tests during our life: UV rays, extreme temperatures, dehydration… This can create on their surface the appearance of pimples or lesions. Whether it’s simple chapping or other symptoms, these signs are not to be taken lightly. Moreover, it is better to prevent them and avoid their appearance. For this, the Clarins house has put all its know-how into a 100% natural product called Lip Comfort Oil.

The concept of Lip Comfort Oil

Clarins has been a specialist in skin care for decades. It has been over 60 years since the brand introduced skincare products designed for the face and body, and made from 100% plant extracts, into its range. These treatments take the form of oil. However, always declining more products following this same ambition, Clarins decided to make a lip oil based on natural extracts. This was presented for the first time in 2015 and is called Comfort Lips Oil.. Both nourishing and lightly tinted, this treatment aims to create a luminous and radiant appearance on the mouth while protecting your lips. Thus, the Comfort Lip Oil helps your skin to protect itself from the sun, the wind or dehydration. Formulated without paraben, this product helps to maintain water in the heart of your cells while making your lips shine like a mirror. This way, your mouth looks rounded and your skin becomes smoother. What is more, its delicate smell creates, at the same time, a soothing and comes to create, in general, a feeling of relaxation in your daily life.

The new colors of the Clarins Lip Comfort Oil range

Previously, Lip Comfort Oil was available in three different colors. The first was close to honey. The second approached the raspberry. The third was inspired by red berries. From now on, no less than four new colors are added to the range. The first is called “Candy”. Its pink oil produces a very natural effect. Its fine texture is scented with cherry, raspberry and strawberry. The second color is called “Tangerine”. In a coral tone, this one seems full of vitamins. It naturally stimulates the color of the lips while giving them a radiant appearance. Its scent is refreshed with red currant. The “Honey Glam” shade, for its part, is similar to the classic honey color. However, its texture takes on a more glittery finish than before. So, the lips look naturally shimmering. Its scent, meanwhile, unsurprisingly contains a honey flavor. Finally, the fourth color of the Lips Comfort Oil is “Mint”. Its minty effect brings an extreme sensation of freshness while giving an impression of volume to your mouth.

Composition of BLACK PERFECTO by La Petite Robe Noire

La Petite Robe Noire is more than just a perfume. Today it is one of the greatest compositions of the Guerlain house. Working with the rose in all its forms, it displays worldwide notoriety and women keep asking for more. This is how La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto was created. More rock and sexy than its big sister , this composition is displayed in a bottle entirely lacquered in black. So let’s see what it is about its composition, a sort of new Guerlain heroine dressed in an attractive leather jacket.

Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk at work for Guerlain

Since the launch of La Petite Robe Noire, Guerlain has never wanted to change its composition team. Indeed, this one is composed of Delphine Jelk and Thierry Wasser, and the duo seems to work rather well if one believes the pharaonic sales of this perfumed collection. For the record, know that the first version of La Petite Robe Noire was made by Delphine Jelk, in 2009, exclusively for the Guerlain store on the Champs-Élysées.

Then, in 2012, La Petite Robe Noire was reworked by Thierry Wasser, with a view to expanding its international marketing. The designer notably included the famous Guerlinade of the house as a signature. Both are today regarded around the world as being among the best perfumers on the planet. Thus, by being made by this exceptional duo, La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto already has, in our opinion, an extraordinary guarantee of quality. Thierry Wasser is endowed with unfailing rigor, while Delphine Jelk brings here her femininity, her sensitivity and her poetry. So let’s take a closer look at how they were able to respect the DNA of their first creation while giving it a new, more impertinent and fiery character …

La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto, when the rose takes on a leathery look

As the entirely black lacquered bottle of La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto suggests , this is a more rock ‘n’ roll fragrance than before. If this immediately appears aesthetically, it must be recognized that La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto does not go by four ways in terms of scents. The result is an electrifying, intoxicating and passionate fragrance. La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto places the rose at the center of its composition. This one turns out to be fresh and cheerful when it starts up before becoming more meaty and powerful in its heart.

It is first of all wrapped in almond, creating a reassuring and warm atmosphere. Then, the leather brings to the whole more animality and sensuality. To further support the sustained character of the Guerlain woman, La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto is also enriched with patchouli, an ingredient that is both very robust but elegant. Finally, the whole thing is wrapped in tonka bean. The result is a very nuanced fragrance leaving behind an extreme sensation of sweetness.

L’Homme, the new woody fragrance from Prada

Today, men appear to be particularly refined beings who like to take care of themselves. Thus, they take pleasure in affording cosmetics as well as perfumes. This is why more and more brands are developing pairs of fragrances. Where women have the leisure to appropriate a gourmet and floral scent. Men can now get their manly olfactory equivalent. Also, this is the case in 2016 at Prada. The brand offers us two new fragrances: Prada la Femme and Prada L’Homme. So, once is not customary, let’s take a closer look at the composition of Prada male juice.

Prada calls on Daniela Andrier

In order to achieve this essence, the Prada house collaborated with the perfumer Daniela Andrier. The latter symbolizes the very elegance of the perfume sector. Very sophisticated and refined, she displays a taste just as pronounced for her outfits and her jewelry as for her perfume creations. The latter has been passionate about smells since her earliest childhood. She never stopped memorizing all the scents of her daily life, from her baby cream to her grandmother’s perfume, including the emblematic Chanel No. 19 worn by her aunt. Something rare enough to be underlined, Daniela Andrier did not come from a family of perfumers. It was a friend who introduced her to the famous Jacques Polge, creator of Chanel perfumes and who allowed her to do an internship at the Robertet perfume factory. The machine was launched and Daniela Andrier today has many bestsellers to her credit. Also, it is all his passion for scents and his creative spirit that we find withinPrada The Man .

The assumed masculinity of Prada L’Homme

Prada L’Homme is described as a very manly and contemporary juice. The latter combines amber and iris, ingredients that are among Muccia Prada’s favorites. Prada L’Homme does not hesitate to immediately display the solar impertinence of man through neroli and black pepper. Its heart, meanwhile, does not lack refinement and highlights the elegance of the iris as well as the more powdery facet of the violet. Geranium then completes this floral palette while adding a spicy aspect. Finally, it all rests on a deeper base containing cedar and patchouli. The whole is particularly vibrant and very attractive.

Guerlain’s Little Intense Black Dress, our gourmet crush

When we talk about Guerlain, we instantly think of the image of a scented dressing room embellished with the essential Little Black Dress. Indeed, this juice is considered to be the bestseller of the brand. Well, know that its mythical bottle in the shape of an inverted heart is now tinged with a magnetic midnight blue and could not be more chic. Indeed, Guerlain presents its brand new juice, a more elaborate, floral and gourmet version than ever. Prepare to welcome La Petite Robe Noire Intense.

A new Guerlain creation signed Thierry Wasser

Thierry Wasser is a unique perfumer who can boast of having been the first of the Guerlain house not to come from the family line. Thus, only his talent allowed him to reach this prestigious position. According to Guerlain, Thierry Wasser is known to be a man “sensitive, refined, elegant and charming. “He has extraordinary olfactory faculties and today has the sole ambition of” telling, showing, exchanging, transmitting “his love for smells. He became the official nose of the Guerlain house in 2008 and has continued the work started by his predecessors since that date. Also, if he scrupulously respects the tradition of the Guerlain house, he does not limit his talent and his personal mark. Today we owe him many masterpieces like Idylle, Habit Rouge or Shalimar Parfum Initial. Likewise, it was he who signed the first opus of La Petite Robe Noire. Revisiting this already legendary juice was only child’s play for him.

The unique scent of La Petite Robe Noire Intense

La Petite Robe Noire Intense is a juice which, as its name suggests, is very strongly inspired by its elders. However, this new version, otherwise known as La Petite Robe Noire Sous le Vent, is touted as smoother and fresher than before. Moreover, the advertising about it could not be clearer: La Petite Robe Noire Intense is an airy fragrance. Its scent begins with an invigorating surge of bergamot. This ingredient from Italy brings a marked but tender freshness to the whole. Here it is accompanied by more fruity, tangy and sparkling blueberry tones. Likewise, it is at this moment that the gluttony of childhood surfaces with a tender smell of cotton candy. This only reinforces the sweet side of this perfume, the hallmark of the entire collection. However, The Little Intense Black Dress does not lack romanticism and femininity. This fragrance contains a strong dose of Bulgarian rose, an ingredient today considered to be the queen of flowers. It all ends with a smoother, creamier and deeper trail. This one lets out aromas of patchouli matched with sandalwood and white musk. Finally, the whole ends with the sweet smell of vanilla.

A mythical success dating back to 1988, the Cool Water perfume can boast of having revolutionized male perfumery. Indeed, this one has completely exchanged the opulence of the perfumes of its time for a new freshness. Very inspired by the clarity of the ocean, this juice once told the story of fiery and intense water. However, as if to celebrate once again the dynamism of men, Davidoff has decided to reinterpret this legendary fragrance to make it the new Cool Water Wave. This one has retained its freshness of yesteryear but now appears more woody and masculine.

The new freshness of Cool Water Wave

To reinterpret this iconic essence, Davidoff called on three talented perfumers. The first of them is none other than Francis Kurkdjian. A demanding and persevering character, he has been evolving in the world of perfume for more than 20 years. We owe him many bestsellers and his creativity seems limitless. He was accompanied here by Antoine Lie, another great name in perfumery who worked for the largest groups in the manufacture of aromas such as Givaudan. Finally, this trio is completed by the perfumer Jean Jacques. Passionate about art in general, he has always been obsessed with the idea of ​​leaving a mark behind him. By reinterpreting this icon of perfumery, he is therefore opening up the path to timelessness more than ever. Together, these creators have chosen to reclaim the cult freshness of Cool Water. Cool Water Wave begins with an aquatic and fresh combination. This is dominated by the bitter presence of grapefruit. Nevertheless, this freshness is contrasted by the more incandescent presence of Sichuan pepper. If the juniper retains this freshness in its heart, it is associated with the more vegetal and woody aspect of the birch leaf. Finally, Cool Water Wave is wrapped in sandalwood. The tenderness of this ingredient is still structured with patchouli.

The visual chosen by Davidoff

As you will have understood, Cool Water Wave plays the masculinity card more than in the past. However, at the same time, this juice retains a very aquatic character. Moreover, this is immediately noticeable on its bottle and on the advertising associated with it. This reveals a bluish background decorated with an immense wave that could leave the greatest surfers dreaming. The bottle of Cool Water Wave, meanwhile, takes the silhouette of its predecessor. Tinted in blue, it embodies the wonderful link that unites man to the ocean. However, the deep, abyssal blue of yore has given way to a lighter shade. The set adopts a slender silhouette. This one wants to be the echo of masculine elegance. Finally, its poster name in very contemporary orange characters. Likewise,

Coromandel, when the nobility of Asia is invited in an Exclusive Chanel fragrance

The Chanel house has a very rich history and know-how resulting from several decades of creation. Thus, to put its most famous perfumes back in the spotlight, Chanel has decided to create the Collection des Exclusifs, bringing together high quality fragrances, a pledge of prestige and nobility. This time, Chanel even decided to step up one of the fragrances in her collection and give it a more oriental and woody splendor. Coromandel by Chanel intoxicates us with its new, darker and more intense scent.

The Chanel Exclusives Collection

Coromandel is a perfume that comes from one of the most beautiful collections of the house of Chanel. The latter has only one condition: to make women unforgettable thanks to inimitable perfumes. The Chanel Exclusives Collection surprises with its elegance, power and its share of mystery. Each of the juices that compose it emanates from an extraordinary know-how as well as noble and rare ingredients. The Exclusives of Chanel are timeless essences, from yesterday and today, capable of provoking wonder from their first breath. With these perfumes, everything is luxury and perfection, without lacking in daring. It is therefore precisely all this that we find in the Coromandel perfume.

The new darker scent of Coromandel

In fact, the first version of Coromandel from the Chanel Exclusives Collection was created in 2007. This time, in 2019, it is a reinterpretation of its scent. For the occasion, Chanel gives us a more intense and dark breath of this cult essence. Coromandel by Chanel has been revisited by the talented Olivier Polge, the brand’s exclusive perfumer. Here, he amplified his warmth and oriental breath by the more amber presence of incense and labdanum. Benzoin, meanwhile, gives it a more resinous scent. Smoked accents now give it a more noble and enchanting quality. To brighten it all up, orange blossom and neroli combine here with citrus fruits. The rose and the iris root, in turn, underline her femininity.

An evocation of Chinese craftsmanship

But, do you know what the name of this perfume really evokes? In fact, it is a tribute to Coromandel screens, which Coco Chanel discovered when she was only 20 years old. She literally fell under the spell of these finely carved and painted screens, covered with a dark lacquer. Just like these collectibles, the Coromandel perfume by Chanel takes us to the heart of China and makes us discover a part of Asian art. Like the diligent and relentless artisans who once worked on these screens, Chanel’s Coromandel perfume is a concentrate of refinement, luxury and perfection. It results from an “infinite patience of the craftsman and of the flawless hand of the master”.

Courrèges puts men’s perfumery back in the spotlight

It was in 1961 that André Courrèges decided to found his creative house, avenue Kléber, in Paris. Three years later, he presented a first Haute Couture collection called Filles de Lune.

It consisted of white skirts and silver materials combined with unexpected accessories like PVC boots. Courrèges’s futuristic style was immediately noticed and it didn’t take long for the brand to become an iconic figure in fashion. Nevertheless, Courrèges has long been characterized by its feminine creations. However, since 2014, Courrèges seems eager to bring renewal to its creation, in particular through male works. In this continuity, Courrèges is currently unveiling a new fragrance for men .

Courrèges turns to men

The Courrèges house attracted a lot of attention in February 2014 for having opened a boutique specially dedicated to men, rue François Ier, in Paris. However, be aware that this is not the first time that Courrèges has addressed the male population. Indeed, in 1973, Courrèges had already developed a first collection called Courrèges Homme , associated with a typically masculine perfume.

His creations were represented at the time by the astronaut Patrick Baudry. However, Courrèges did not decide to continue in this direction and quickly refocused on its core business: creations for women. In February 2014, to relaunch this activity, Courrèges decided to transform its Millésimes space on rue François Ier, dedicated to vintage pieces, and to turn it into a men’s boutique.

“We wanted to broaden our spectrum while respecting the visual heritage of the brand”, explains Frédéric Torloting, one of the two entrepreneurs behind the relaunch of the brand for two years, during the presentation of his collection. spring-summer 2014. From then on, all that was missing was one perfume to complete the collection of leathers, leather goods, polo shirts and classic clothing from the Courrèges men’s collection. Today, it is now done!

The new Courrèges Homme perfume

The new Courrèges Homme fragrance is part of a typically masculine universe. Thus, he places one of the star ingredients of men’s perfumery at the center of his composition: lavender. This Mediterranean plant is a classic in men’s perfumery and many consider its scent to be reminiscent of barber soap from the past. Here it is associated with incandescent scents.

Thus, Courrèges Homme is a warm fragrance that does not lack impertinence and character. Its masculine side is further amplified in its wake and this juice ends with a more woody scent. Finally, through its bottle, Courrèges once again demonstrated avant-garde. Very futuristic, its bottle takes on the appearance of an oversized and imposing tube. Very contrasted, it displays an opposition between a very dark, black and opaque right side, and a more transparent and limpid left side. Thus, this container is reminiscent of the symbolism of Ying and Yang.

The message is clear: Courrèges Homme is a juice that is both powerful but serene, sassy but soothing.

In July 2016, the Courrèges house decided to create an event. Indeed, she has just presented her latest feminine perfume to all the fashonistas on the planet. Courrèges has, for the occasion, put the small dishes in the big ones, not hesitating to redecorate the entirety of its showroom. The environment does not go unnoticed. Everything is designed in a very pop and feminine style, associating long orange bands with more sobriety emanating from white and metal. Welcome to the new spicy and energizing universe of Hyperbole perfume!

Courrèges is an essential French brand that has shone the image of Paris throughout the world since its creation in 1961 by André Courrèges. This exceptional house has the art of combining fashion, design and contemporary art. Always very avant-garde, Courrèges did not hesitate to combine a very Haute Couture style with more relaxed ranges and even sportswear. Indeed, André Courrèges is a sports enthusiast who notably had the chance to develop outfits for the Olympic Games. Likewise, we remember the Hyperbole clothing line dedicated to urban athletes. This one made its appearance in 1971 and very quickly made talk about it. Also, it is precisely a nod to the latter that we are discussing today. You will understand, Hyperbole is a particularly energizing juice. What’s more, this one also seems to be timeless. Indeed, it perfectly combines the tradition of fine perfumery, the heritage of the house of Courrèges and a very contemporary style. The result is absolutely captivating, worthy of unparalleled know-how such as that we know from this great French house.

The elaboration of Hyperbole

To develop this brand new creation, Courrèges called on two perfumers. Hyperbole is signed by the talented Antoine Lee and Jean Jacques, perfumer at Takasago. Both admit to having had carte blanche to develop this new fragrance. They then chose to orient themselves towards a spicy oriental. Their goal was to create an “electrified, stylized” juice. “They have thus chosen to” give verticality and radiance “to their perfume. However, although this composition is particularly successful, note that Hyperbole is based on a fairly short recipe. Hyperbole is a fragrance of simplicity, based on 6 notes and 4 chords. Its start begins with a heavy and heady breath. Then, this is followed by the impertinence and dynamism of the pepper. Hyperbole surprises with its spicy facet and masculine side. However, don’t get me wrong, it is indeed a feminine juice that gradually softens until very sensual base notes evaporate. We notice in particular the exotic presence of vanilla associated with the sweetness of the tonka bean. Finally, it all ends with a hint of patchouli in a particularly elegant style.
