The fragrance created by Paloma Picasso - the daughter of the famous painter. This fragrant self-portrait. Her motherly grandfather was a perfumer, so, as a child, she was familiar with mixing smells and generating scents. Her artistic talent is something that she inherited from her father, therefore she was very efficacious in her work as a jewellery designer for Yves Saint Laurent and Tiffany & Co. Her favourite perfume is Chanel N? 5, so she needed to create a perfume with an aldehydic accord. Red is her favourite colour and black is a representation of power. This perfume is a sophisticated floral chypre with a Mediterranean temperament, but because the fragrance was very complex it was very hard to market it. She was frightened that her connections would change the formula, but fortunately, this didn?t happen. The cologne opens with a new and spicy note of coriander, angelica and carnation. Aldehydes are in harmony with ylang ylang, jasmine and hyacinth. Woody notes of oak moss, patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, tobacco blend with original animal note (castoreum, civet and musk). Paloma Picasso was launched in 1984. Paloma Picasso is a woman?s fragrance that has been suggested to be worn during the evening.
