Gérald Ghislain, founder and perfumer of the French niche brand Histoires de Parfums shows a predilection for classic Parisian shows apart from famous French authors, it seems, which continues: After his recent fragrance release dedicated to the infamous and titillating fame of Moulin Rouge, Ghislain focuses on the equally well-known L'Olympia Music Hall. The legend of L'Olympia, as famous as other mythical Parisian show theaters such as Les Folies Bergeres or Crazy Horse, is palpable: Iconic performers include the black gazelle Josephine Baker, the "sparrow" Edith Piaf and the gloriously androgynous Dalida as well as Gilbert Becaud, Johnny Hallyday and Yves Montand; a line-up to make anyone sit up and take notice! To capture this glamor and history wasn't easy. The ambience of the stage is captured in a smoky woody with leathery & floral accents. The fragrance of L'Olympia revolves around a heart of rose, freesia and peony, freshened on top with the bracing note of black pepper, the tartness of assorted citrus essences and the soft bitterness of saffron ~a very popular note in recent releases (another one featuring it is Black Saffron By Redo). The sensuous background notes of patchouli, vanilla, chocolate and a "suede accord" create the mystery and warmth of a packed L'Olympia at the height of its glory. Top Notes: Mandarin, Lemon, Bergamot, Orange. Heart notes: rose berries, black pepper, saffron, rose, freesia, lilac, peony. Base notes: Woody Notes, Patchouli, Frankincense, Storace, Daim Agreement, Vanilla, Chocolate, Licorice, White Musk. Olympia Le Parfum is presented in September 2012 in Eau de Parfum concentration in bottles of 2oz and 4oz.
