In this article we will test the Paloma Picasso perfume. Her loud last name speaks about the creator of the perfume. On the daughter of Pablo Picasso Paloma, nature clearly does not rest. Her name means "dove" in Spanish. She was born in 1949, when her father created the symbol of the International Congress of Peacekeeping Forces. Paternal genes allow Paloma to create exquisite jewelry (she not only collaborates with Tiffany, but also founded her own brand). And her maternal grandfather, E. Gilo, was a chemist and perfume maker. His talent was also passed on to Paloma. She creates stylish, vintage fragrances. In addition, she invented the color of lipstick, which now bears the name "Paloma Red".
History and characteristics of perfume
Today we will describe only one perfume - "Paloma Picasso". They were created in 1984. The original name of Mon Parfum then changed to morespecific. Yes, presenting the new fragrance to the world, Paloma Picasso said that she was looking for her own style in everything, and it seems that this time she succeeded. The perfume merged French sophistication, passionate temperament of the Mediterranean and animalistic motifs. The bottle design is unique. It is stylized as African bracelets. A golden liquid, like a cat's eye, shines through in the "window" of black plastic. Such a bottle resembles an amulet, and it seems as if the perfume hidden in it is endowed with magical powers.
This perfume has a complex aromatic composition. Piercing citrus fruits (lemon, bergamot, neroli), soft rose, carnation, angelica and warm spices (coriander) play at the top of the pyramid. A wondrous garden blooms in the heart. Delicate mimosa and hyacinth, fragrant ylang-ylang, jasmine and patchouli are fragrant there. The perfume base is expensive. Along with musk, animal odor fixers, such as beaver stream (castoreum) and civet, are also used there. In addition to fixatives, sandalwood, vetiver, oakmoss and amber play languidly in the base.
Who the fragrance is for
No wonder the perfume "Paloma Picasso" the author herself called "My Perfume". In order for the fragrance to “sit” organically, you need to be a match for a well-known designer. Definitely perfumes are not suitable for young air creatures around the age of twenty. They are too sophisticated, glamorous, stylish. To wear perfume with dignity, you need to live at least thirty years. And, most importantly, to take place in life. There is nothing daring and mischievous, insecure, and therefore outrageous in this fragrance. This is a beautiful lady, calm,because I am sure of my own irresistibility. A real lady - from a hat with a veil to high heels. The fragrance does not depend on the season. It spreads like a warm wave on sweltering summer evenings. Nobly sillage in frost, envelops with freshness in spring and warms in autumn. But these spirits themselves choose their mistress. If you do not agree on the character, the aroma will be somehow external, alien.
1996 Update
Another women's perfume "Paloma Picasso Tentations" fully justifies its name - "Temptation". According to the composition of aromas, they belong to the oriental group. This fragrance was created by perfumers Sofia Groysman and Max Gavarri. Fans of Paloma Picasso's creativity were not disappointed: the new perfume is completely in the style of the great designer.
The aroma opens with fruity-citrus notes on a vodka background. The distillate seems to bare the piercing sound of bergamot, orange blossom, peach and black pepper. The heart notes are completely oriental. Rose, jasmine and orchid are wrapped in the warmth of oriental spices (cloves and cinnamon). Unlike the classic "Paloma Picasso", there are no animalistic notes in the base of "Tentation". Woody tones of sandalwood, incense, white cedar, benzoin, myrrh reign there. Only a hint of musk and tonka bean add sweetness to the base. If the associations born of the classic "Paloma Picasso" are a restrained lady with impeccable taste and manners, then in "Tantation" one can feel the seething of passions. But this eroticism and passion by no means go beyond the bounds of decency. It's Paloma Picasso.

"Paloma Picasso" (perfume): reviews
Fragrance, according to users, only emphasizes your style. If it is not there, then it will be alien to “sit”. This is the smell of elegance, originality. Only a woman of character, not afraid to challenge society, can afford to wear it. The chypre shade, reviews say, sounds unsharp in perfume. The fragrance creates an aura of an elegant, intelligent and free woman. But not cold. The temperament is guessed in tobacco and peppery notes, in a mossy-woody drydown. Perfume is not just a rack. They stay with you day after day. And if you don't want to be disappointed, buy Paloma Picasso perfume at Letual, Rendezvous, Rive Gauche and other trusted stores.
