Valentine's Day: I want a designer perfume!
What is a designer perfume?
We must distinguish in perfumery, besides perfumes so-called "mass" that is found in mass distribution (Young Water, Raw ...), perfumes general public that can be luxury brands but that can be found in all perfume shops (Yves Saint Laurent, Kenzo, Thierry Mugler ...) and those, more confidential, whose distribution is very selective.
These perfumes will seriously choose selected outlets, often specialized in luxury, when they do not stick to their own shops. In this way, the houses are sure to offer a coherent setting to their olfactory creations, accompanied by professional advice and an original buying experience.

They use notes claimed leather type, deep woods, heady or aerial flowers, or secret. Smell of caressing exotic balms, spices that bite under the tongue, an acrid and dry iris, oud carnal wood, hundreds of different interpretations of roses .... You have to feel them to understand! This is what awaits you behind the doors of the shops that house these exceptional juices, free and often out of time ...
