Milan Menswear Show Fall 2006
MILAN, Jan 18, 2006/ FW/ --- ‘You could say that these fragrances tell the story of my life,’ said Nicole Farhi about her new perfume line. ‘From the ylang ylang I would buy in the souk in Marrakech in the 1960s to the amber I found in China last year, each note reminds me of a distinct experience.’
Nicole Farhi who is known for her sensual, luxurious and classic designs turned her creative efforts to create Nicole Farhi Femme and Nicole Farhi Homme, which were both launched in Milan this week.
Confessing that she had made a collection of her favorite scents for the past thirty years, each one of them reminding her of people, places and happy memories, she also said that when she was designing the perfume, she ‘simply set out to capture the essence of the most precious moments from her life.’
The result – a fresh playfulness, original use of ingredients and an optimistic energy housed in hand-sculpted glass bottles!
Nicole Farhi Femme is a modern blend of enticing energy and seductive warmth, a contemporary eternal floriental fragrance with neroli and petitgrain as the top note.
The alluring element of the top notes is fused with the floral middle notes of rock rose, ylang ylang and tuberose bud, while the warmth and comfort of the base accord is seductively wrapped in dark chocolate, pink pepper and hot amber oils.
‘I never have a specific theme for my creations, but I love the combination of new with old,’ Nicole Farhi told reporters. ‘I love antiques, but I also love the modern pieces and I wanted my fragrance to embody this attitude.’
So, it’s not really surprising that Nicole Farhi Femme is spontaneous, sensual and harmonious.
Nicole Farhi Homme continues the spontaneity, sensuality and harmony of Nicole Farhi Femme, with the addition of seductive synergy of fresh, zesty ingredients with aromatic accords.
Contrasting yet balanced, Nicole Farhi Homme is a contemporary aromatic oriental fragrance embodying the spirit of Nicole Farhi’s designs, blending British refinement with a natural, unstructured European essence.
Masculine top notes of tea tree, lime and armoise evolve with spicy, vibrant white pepper, birch leaf and snow bank. Warmth and freshness rest confidently on the passionate power of white musk and fresh patchouli.
And when you have used up the perfume, the bottle becomes a Nicole Farhi collectible. Sculpted by the designer in her studio, the bottle is reminiscent of her glassware collection. The tactile unstructured shape and natural shade of glass embody the spirit of sensual elegance.
Both Nicole Farhi fragrances for men and women are complemented with a luxurious range of bath and body products.
