Ever since Paul Poiret decided to bottle his idea of fashion in 1911, perfume has been integral to the great couture houses.
Prada
Miu Miu
The first fragrance in Miuccia Prada’s second line blends a classic heart of lily-of-the-valley, rose and jasmine with notes of akigalawood (similar to patchouli). The bottle? Deliciously light-hearted with its ‘quilted’ blue glass and clown’s nose!
Eau de parfum : 56, 80 et 110 €
Valentino
Donna
From simple T-shirt to evening gown the couture spirit reigns supreme over Maison Valentino, perfume included of course. This new fragrance, intended as a couture object too, is based on rose, iris pallida and bergamot set off by notes of patchouli and vanilla.
Eau de parfum : 60, 85 et 120 €
Marc Jacobs
Decadence
The bottle a clever reinvention of the brand’s iconic handbag, accessorised with a gold chain and a black silk tassel, this little gem exudes glamour and opulence through Italian plum, iris, saffron, Bulgarian rose, jasmine and papyrus.
