Glowing rose
Outstanding work by the perfumer Christian Provenzano - 2008.
Christian Provenzano was born in Morocco. Since his childhood he was surrounded by the scents of spices, herbs and flowers. In Morocco, orange blossom, mimosa and, of course, the queen of fragrances, the rose, are cultivated.
All these experiences, all these wonderful memories in his perfumes.
At the age of 17, he moved from Morocco to Spain and from Spain to France and then to Amsterdam, where he began to study perfumery.
He worked in Great Britain. Now lives in the United Arab Emirates. Therefore, his work combines the best of European perfumery with the best of Arabian perfumery.
"Ardent" is a rich, multi-faceted, dense, celebratory aroma.
You want to inhale it constantly!
The amber is soft and honey-like. Rich and noble.
Reminds me a lot of Tom Ford's Noir de Noir. Both fragrances are good, but different. Ardent is rounder and fuller, more feminine (sweeter due to honey) and sharper (hence the name "Ardent" - passionate).
Since I bought Ardent after almost finishing Noir de Noir Tom Ford, there was no need to buy a new TF as I think Ardent is a more interesting option.
It will easily emphasize the youth of a young girl while adding elegance to a grown-up lady.
At the center of the fragrance is Queen Rose. A dense burgundy bud that you bury your nose in and inhale deeply. This is a fresh morning rose with dew drops. The rest of the perfume's ingredients dance around the rose and emphasize its nobility and femininity. A very subtle fragrance.
It changes, it plays.
But not very sillage. After a few hours, the trail is as long as an arm's length. But very long-lasting at the same time. Even in the morning, the fragrance base sounds very pleasant and lasts longer than a day on the hair. The aroma does not spoil the sound even in the heat. Outside in the cold it sounds corrosive, but as soon as you go into the warmth, oh, how nice! This fragrance has no restrictions in terms of time of day, year or location.
And it's cheerful too. I apply it and I want to live! :)
The bottle is fabulously beautifully designed.
The fragrance is beautiful because it tells of eternal summer and other roses in other worlds.

"For one man"
The most original Soliflor.
Soliflore is a floral composition in which one note dominates.
The perfume is unusual in every respect.
A fragrance for a man, but it is floral!
Lavender dominates it. This is the most perfect lavender soliflore in the history of perfumery.
It seems that if lavender dominates, there should be a cold composition. But the brilliant perfumer Ernest Daltroff managed to unite the battle between cold and warm notes in one composition. Lavender is responsible for the coolness and vanilla and tonka beans are responsible for the hot, warm, passionate accord. And these two waves colliding create such drama and interest that this composition could not go unnoticed.
This fragrance is considered a masterpiece of the 30s.
The first one that said it was for men. And now it's already 90 years old! But it is wonderful.

The scent of inner light, kindness and happiness.
This year, Dolce Vita by Dior celebrates its 30th anniversary.
The perfume was released in the 90s (1994).
Thirty years is a long time.
Dolce Vita radiates an aura of happiness, wealth and self-confidence. A drop of sunshine magically contained in a bottle, created for special moments to make every moment special.
Contrary to "conspiracy theories" about discontinuation, the famous Dior perfume is still in production.
The Dior fragrance has stood the test of time because of its character.
The story goes that Dolce Vita was born thanks to another famous perfume, Feminite du Bois. Dolce Vita was created by Pierre Bourdon for Serge Lutens' own brand (when he left Shiseido and opened his own boutique in Paris) and was one of the versions of Feminite du Bois that was discarded during the development phase. Pierre Bourdon and Maurice Roger later used this formula for the Dior fragrance.
Dolce Vita is neither the most spectacular nor the most complex of Dior's fragrances, but it has stood the test of time even better than Poison. It is about the extremely inviting and less dramatic character of Dolce Vita.
Dolce Vita remained the brand's absolute bestseller for several years in a row. It was eclipsed only by the unprecedented commercial success of Hypnotic Poison.
The aroma exudes friendliness, positivity, playfulness, inner light and happiness. This is a calm and pleasant fragrance, but at the same time bright and confident. Very beautiful.

The smell of women's skin
I recently discovered the Montclair brand. Many people know it as a brand that specializes in sportswear and bomber jackets.
But recently they have launched a perfume line that is quite good. This is a unique perfume. Narciso Rodriguez talked about the sexuality of the female body in a dress. Moncler pour Femme is the embodiment of the female body in bed.
This is an incredibly beautiful, powdery, transparent and yet very soft composition that perfectly matches the sensations of women's skin.
Of course, everyone has their own personal take on this scent and possibly personal experiences. But for me, this particular profile is feminine.
And it smells like a heliotrope accord combined with soft, physical musky notes. It is complemented by an accord of bergamot and snow. Surprisingly, perfumer Quentin Bisch managed to convey a light freshness and texture.
Basically, this composition can also be considered a body amber composition. Light amber conveys the feeling of feminine skin.
The Moncler brand is not so well known. And if you want to surprise someone, then this is the ideal option.
This is also an ideal option for those who prefer nude perfumes, colorless eyeshadows and light shades.

Vintage "Gift".
I tried this fragrance carefully.
First I bought bottling. Recently, I finally received a bottle of Christian Dior Poison - vintage "Gift". There is a little residue in the bottle. In the case of Poison, by "vintage" I mean the pre-rock formulation that turned smoky, dark gothic plum into grape soda.
The reformulation took place somewhere in the mid-2000s.
Correct me if anyone knows better.
Around the same time, the massive oval bottle was transformed into a round apple, the words "Christian Dior" were reduced to the surname "Dior" and the words "Eau de Toilette" disappeared completely.
The address also changed.
Until 1990 - 1991: 30 Avenue Hoche, Paris.
After 1990-91 it became 33 Avenue Hoche, Paris
Regarding batch code. For example, if there are 5 characters (number, letter, number, number, number), then it was published before 1998!
The first digit always indicates the year.
The barcode and the volume also play a role.
More details here:
https://raidersofthelostscent.blogspot.com/2013/10/how-to-recognize-christian-dior.html
The classic Poison is quite well preserved. Stays long lasting, loud, sillage, rich and intense. And the older it is, the more beautiful I find it.
The aroma is very strong. I use it sparingly, just as armor for another difficult day, to withstand the onslaught of life's trials and not break from them. Therefore, the rest in the bottle lasts me a long time.
I like the vintage Poison better than the new one. But the important thing is that it is at least made that way. And new generations discover new facets of a wonderful flavor.
But if possible, get to know the great vintage Poison.
