Perfumery is an art. Paris, from Yves Saint-Laurent, is an art.


To this day, perfume is another complement to beauty and the perfumes factoryes they know, all a creative discourse that turns around it. An identity, an attitude, a unique personality: perfume becomes an object full of art in many ways.

The perfume Paris of Yves Saint Laurent


Paris has already completed its 35 years of life. However, it still has a lot of pull in the industry. Today it’s a classic floral fragrance that remains a reference for many women, a perfume that never goes out of style.

"Paris" takes care of its presence and good taste. It is the great platonic love of thousands of perfumers around the world, including its creator, Yves Saint Laurent.

What does the perfume represent?


Paris represents sophistication, the elegance of the Parisian woman that is represented by fresh flowers. The intentions of the perfume are very clear.

Paris is the most magical city in all of France, thanks to its passionate appeal. The city reaches its maximum splendour during the spring season, when the streets are filled with flowers, colours and a very optimistic romanticism that can be seen in any corner of the city.
This is why the great Yves decided to create a perfume that would represent this beautiful city. When you look at its creativity, its bottle, etc ... everything leads to a fragile and harmless fragrance. However, appearances are not always as we expect. "Paris" is a radical and scandalous, complex, passionate, romantic and very powerful fusion.
Life at the cafeteria, the whispering of people, the famous gardens and the well-known boulevards ... are a challenge that Yves Saint Laurent had to assume and transport to a single fragrance. And he achieved it.

How does Paris smell Like?

It is not just a simple flower scent. It has a really expanded, frothy and very dramatic nature. When you smell a breath of "Paris" you will imagine a voluminous bouquet of roses ... pink roses.
The perfume doesn’t only work with roses, you will notice it. Pink colour is the idea that comes to mind. Everything is sweet and intense, a bourgeoisie with a funny and burlesque touch.
It is a perfume that belongs to the Olfactory Floral Woody Musk family. It consists of Head Notes such as wild rose; its Heart Notes are formed by roses, violets, orange blossom, lily of the valley, peony and bell; finally, the Base Notes are sandalwood and white musk.
Everything revolves around roses as main protagonists of the aroma, sharing that exclusivity with the violet, giving it a creamy sensation.

Paris is stormy, with a strong personality inside, unpredictable and rewarding. On the skin of some people, the most dominant note is the violet instead of the rose.
The interesting thing is how well it is balanced. It is not dense despite being a strong perfume; thanks to the roses and violets that aren’t powdered specially for the occasion. Although it has an eighties touch, it has managed to survive during all these years. For young people, it could be a big surprise if they gave it a try.


Conclusions

"Paris" is cheerful, bright and dazzling. It is a perfume with a large number of people supporting it and keeping it always in the top positions of the best sold perfumes in Europe.
This perfume is described in Europe as a perfume for young people, for the classic and the timeless ones. In America it is seen as a more traditional, mature and stately aroma.


Its smell is floral and sweet, strong, green and fresh; all at the same time. It has a very long duration, its average duration is about 8 hours.
Since it was released, other versions of the same perfume have been coming out, similar to the original one. A total of 13 compose these versions made with a romantic, floral and spring inspiration.

OMNIA CRYSTALLINE. BVLGARI


BVLGARI is a great Italian perfumery and jewelery company. It was created in the 90s by Sotir Bulgari, a great entrepreneur who has managed to create an entire empire around him. Bulgari, with its perfumes,bottles and jewels, has become the reference of many familiar faces and one of the most demanded brands in the whole world.
This house already has several perfumes that include its name. But if we have to highlight one: it is "Omnia Crystalline".
We are talking about an ode to beauty and to the most feminine, chic and modern woman. Along with the series of Aqua perfumes, Omnia Crystalline is one of the most famous perfumes among women.
As you may know, Omnia is a series of perfumes. It started with BVLGARI OMNIA in 2003, a fragrance inspired by Marco Polo's travels; inspired by an Italian merchant who travelled all over Asia looking for an answer. Dedicated to his trip around Asia, the perfume has those touches of cinnamon, saffron and nutmeg. These are the fragrances that make Omnia remembered as the great trip that was made in the thirteenth century.

In 2005 "Omnia Crystalline" arrived thanks to the nose of Alberto Morillas. Crystalline represents an aroma full of sensuality, passion and exclusivity. These adjectives are followed by the following trail; "Omnia Crystalline Eau de Toilette".

How is the perfume?

It is irresistible, conquering and peculiar. It is a fusion of elements that share a fluid dialogue in which you can easily appreciate the Bulgari tradition.
How is its smell? It is a perfume that belongs to the Floral Aquatic olfactory family. It is made of Head Notes such as bamboo and pear; Heart Notes such as lotus flower, cassia and tea; and finally its Base Notes are musk, oak moss and gaiac wood.
The lotus flower is the first to come on stage, accompanied by a mandarin fruit and nashi (Japanese Pear). Bamboo also makes its appearance here, responsible for the sensation of nature and freshness. This lotus flower extends to the central notes, with a character created with guayaco, musk and benzoin.
Omnia is elegant, it is resplendent and evanescent. It is not permanent because it is so subtle and not very intense. But all its notes are going to be perfectly identified making the difference with the rest of the Omnia series fragrances.
Regarding its aroma we can finally say that the combination of all its notes create such an incredible and exclusive body as a diamond.

The bottle of Bulgari.

This perfume needs a different bottle from the rest of its brand, but also from other competitors. It is a bottle that makes the difference from other perfumes, but it is the same throughout the Omnia series. The bottle of Omnia Crystalline is transparent and there are two interlaced circles.
Through this bottle you can also see the liquid, just as transparent.

Conclusions

Undoubtedly, Bulgari is always searching for originality and avoiding banality. Always seeking to be innovative, to call our attention each time a little more with their creations, to inspire sensations and of course; to provoke them at the same time.
