“My invisible tattoo, My Fragrance, Mon Guerlain” – Angelina Jolie

Mon Guerlain is characterized by the freshness of Lavender Carla, an exceptional variety cultivated in Provence, which contrasts with the voluptuousness of the Sambac jasmine from India and the Australian Album Sandalwood, associated with the sensual Vanilla Tahitensis of Papua New Guinea.

“We always create a fragrance for a woman we admire” – Jacques Guerlain.

A perfumer tells a story or paints a portrait and in the case of the new Mon Guerlain perfume, it is the portrait of a woman. Thierry Wasser, Guerlain’s Master Perfumer, offers a tribute to feminity, to free and sensual women. This dreamed-up fantasy embodied by muse Angelina Jolie has a heart of Tahitensis vanilla – also present in Jicky, Shalimar and Habit Rouge. Vanilla is joined by lavender, Sambac jasmine and sandalwood. Melding fresh and sensual feminine and masculine notes, this audacious accord gives Mon Guerlain its power and modernity.

Notes of a Woman, the Mon Guerlain advertising film, was shot in France’s Provence region with Terrence Malick and Angelina Jolie. The film recounts the story of how the fragrance was created, focusing the spotlight for the first time on the perfumer.

The bottle for the new fragrance revisits the celebrated quadrilobe bottle, inspired by an alchemist’s flacon, designed by Gabriel Guerlain and crafted by Baccarat in 1908. The sleek and sober graphic lines celebrate a modern femininity, sincere and authentic.

Thierry Wasser has created many notable perfumes including: Addict for Christian Dior, Diesel Fuel for Life for Her, Guerlain Quand Vient La Pluie, Lancôme Hypnose, Guerlain Idylle, Guerlain Aqua Allegoria, Guerlain Flora Nymphea, Jil Sander Man absolute, Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire, Guerlain L’Homme Ideal.

Alexander McQueen Parfum - the signature scent for women-2016

McQueen’s perfume is like McQueen woman: powerful, seductive and precious. Inspired by the craftsmanship of haute perfumery, Alexander McQueen House and Sarah Burton are revealing the secrets of after-dark, night-blooming flowers. Adding hints of light to the heart of the dark, Sambac Jasmine, Tuberose and Ylang Ylang, along with black pepper, clove and pink pepper are taking fashion and fragrance hand-in-hand.

“I wanted this fragrance to come from night flowers, the kind that exude an eternal freshness once the day is gone,” explained Alexander McQueen’s Creative Director Sarah Burton. “To make up for their lack of colour, the scent of the Sambac Jasmine, Tuberose and Ylang Ylang are most powerful at night to attract their pollinator. People forget that these flowers become newly modern every day; that even as they’ve faded, they soon regenerate and flower, shaping the air with their scent. Here at McQueen, we are all about discoveries and the eternal blossom; originality in an atmosphere of tradition, craft, and daring.”

McQueen is designed for dreaming, so the bottle is a poem in glass. Available exclusively at Harrods, the Alexander McQueen Parfum is housed in an object d’art ornated with intricate antique gold feathers, a pure McQueen symbol. The crown of the bottle is topped with a gold facetted cap.

A new short clip posted by Alexander McQueen on its youtube channel is revealing the artistry behind the captivating displays at the brand’s Old Bond Street flagship and at Harrods. Photographed by Paolo Roversi, the McQueen Parfum campaign is tarring Maartje Verhoef.
