Today Serge Lutens aromas for Shiseido have the devoted admirers all over the world. Its Parisian boutique in Palais Royale, well-known for the exclusive aromas in bottles-hand bells - a place for unusual aromas’ judges pilgrimage.
Today we offer to your attention the first perfumery project for Shiseido, the aroma of the 1981, which for a long time has been removed from manufacture Nombre Noir.
To meet Nombre Noir on a shelf of perfumery shop means the same as if to return to the last quarter of the century.
The brilliant black octagonal bottle looks as a beam sword handle from Star wars. It stores the sated and dense aroma - gloomy -flower with the dense tree-fruit heart, hidden under the black smoke screen. After sharp start of the smoky whisky resolutely overwhelming attempts of a jasmine and a bergamot to survive and a black smoked rose, almost deprived of flower sweet, arises.
The perfume combines such aromas as flower tone with apricot shade and jasmine.
If you can imagine such souvenir as a flower of a rose, which petals are made of prunes, and leaves are made of a black leather or rubber, then you can easily imagine an image of this aroma, dark, smoky and sated.
