Do you love figs? Do you like these green or violet fruits with fleshy and granular red pulp, sweet and fragrant… And leaves, they are unusually thick and smelling fragrant juice, on a legend they covered Adam and Eve’s nakedness in Paradise garden …
French selective brand Nez A Nez, created in 2005 by Christa Patout, has made two fig aromas at once: man’s Figues et Garcons and female Mille et Une Figues. Mille et Une Figues throws the bridge from hot summer in gloomy autumn.
Mille et Une Figues may be associated with a pearl of the Arabian night; in a reality aroma starts to sound as inexpensive shampoo or a shower gel with apple smell. This aroma is fresh and sourish, it reminds citruses, but, basically, it brings freshness of summer morning and calmness of autumn evening. It seems like it is transparent and overfilled with a new-mown force by a grass and aromatic hints as Comme des Garcons #3. Perhaps, it is even too fresh.
In aspiration to make aroma of fig leaves realistic, perfumers have a little stepped over a side between natural and chemically-artificial. Just a little - but it was enough for destruction of harmony and possible tearing away.
Hardly later, aroma becomes warmer, tropical and gets shows the flower-oily nature. Coctail smack of coconut pulp and a hint on a tuberose. Later figs do not smell any more and it becomes usual feel-good aroma on a modern fashion. Vanilla and synthetic amber bring their individual note.
Nez A Nez - this is a real September and warm October aroma. It is especially actual in those situations, when it is unessential to you to use perfume for any especial purposes.
Resume: for those who wishes to seem more beautiful, more coldly and is more skilled.
Mille et Une Figue (Nez a Nez, 2005): almonds, leaves of fig; the Fig, a coco, a tuberose; amber, vanilla.

Both men and women make mistakes in the fashionable world. But there are also such mistakes, which could be made only by men! Only they, our knights, with their charming innocence in questions of a fashion are capable to make laugh the whole legion of stylists.
T-shirt without cuff links means the same as James Bond without lady. Yes, cuff links have really become unessential. Nevertheless shirts with so-called French cuffs, that are having apertures for cuff links, still rush with cuff links, and anybody did not cancel this rule. Nevertheless some Hollywood stars have been noticed in French shirts without cuff links. In a word, cuffs are very important! Especially they are good and pertinent at business meeting, as it will allow everyone to understand that their owner is a gentleman with concept about style.
Self-made suit?! It is not good idea - to buy trousers and jackets separately from each other, and then to try to combine them. Even if you have black jacket and black trousers, its not the fact, that they will suit each other. The material, style and breed play an important role here. A woolen jacket and polyester trousers (and on the contrary) -is an apogee of bad taste…
Hairdress. Be careful with styling gel… No girl will want to touch such hair. The increase in quantity of gel or mousse does not raise its efficiency! Besides, such cosmetic attacks are not useful for hair. The most awful is to go too far in wax or “toffee” as it will make your hair look greasy. If nothing turns out despite of all diligence, ask the small master-class for the hairdresser: let him, eventually, open the secrets of attractive hairdresser!

Perfumery brand Parfum d`Interdits is an attempt of the French manufacturers of alcohol from Provence to jump into the perfumery world, already overfilled with jewelers, designers, auto builders and show business. The attempt turned out to be not so much unsuccessful: perfumery from France is loved as much as German cars and English football or Russian vodka.
Liquoristerie de Provence, have not achieved revolution in aromas. Perfumer Pascal Rolland has given of a brand man’s features to the second aroma (the first one - Absolument Absinthe - was a unisex-aroma). Its courage is made of the general reasons. This “new” perfume, which has appeared on counters in France on September, 18th, is similar to set of others.
Wooden-spicy aroma gives a tribute to legendary courageous aromas of 70-80s years, for self-confident men.
Absolument Homme are well fixed and calmed by tranquilizers Vendetta pour Homme (Valentino), Gentleman (Givenchy), Kouros (Yves Saint-Laurent)… Their wild and greedy time has moved on.
The bottle represents a round flask with a liquid of amber colors and does not correspond to the price of aroma.
Absolument Homme (Parfum d`Interdits, 2007) represents a mixture of lemon, bergamot, citron, geranium; carnation, a nutmeg; musk, patchouli plant, sandal-wood oil, cedar and amber.

Try to guess, what are the basic notes of Vetiver Ambrato? If you assume, that it is an orange and cinnamon or a peach, caramel and vanilla … it looks like… you are not able to read a Latin as this name assumes, that it will give aroma away. However, we advise you all over again to try Vetiver Ambrato and to have true representation about this aroma.
Vetiver Ambrato has appeared in the perfumery market in 2005. It, together with family other aromas of brand Bois 1920, was created by Italian perfumer Enzo Gallardo, who decided to use some classical development of the grandfather. According to a family legend, in 1920 his grandfather Guido has opened perfumery shop Bottega Italiano Spigo in Florence. Here it was possible to buy popular at that time fragrant oils and tinctures (not only the Italian lavender), together with aromas of own manufacture. The shop was quite popular (however, legends can exaggerate), but in 1925 it has stopped the existence as son Guido and father have not shown any interest in continuation of perfumery dynasty. The history has received the continuation in 1985, when interest to perfumery has jumped through generation to the grandson of the dynasty founder.
Aroma starts with sharp, hardly flower freshness: lavender, a geranium and citruses though they are not mentioned anywhere. The anise adds not only sweet and lightness, but also strange impressions. Flower tone sounds very implicitly and becomes powder in the heart of aroma - this part causes ideas about geraniums and quite harmonious sweetness.

The colors are amazing: for example, a cobalt-dark blue bolero with feathers atop practically so bright satiny dress with dark-black corsage, soft waves falling down to the ground; or a red-beige cape with fur furnish atop of a shirt in style of the twentieth which bodice is trimmed by red and dark blue ruches. Dresses from black lace “Infanta” and “Josephine” from chiffon, painted manually and the lacesб trimmed by fur, showed all same love of the designer to an abundance of ornaments. Fashionable defile was closed with the British model Lily Cole in an amazing dress of the bride from gilt tulle with embroidery atop of silk with flower patterns; the veil was supported with a crown from metal colors.
