Perfume Minotaure Paloma Picasso 75 ml

Product Information

The fragrance starts off with somewhat screechy aldehydes and galbanum, but quickly mellows out into a lightly spicy, fruity-vanilla scent. There is plenty of vanilla and exotic fruits-I get apple, pear and mango with some citrus-mandarine and big juicy orange. The difference is that APOM feels intentional and sort of forced--it wears conspicuously, with niche characteristics applied to what ought to be a designer perfume--while Minotaur seems more or less effortless--a quality release at ease in its era, and now something of a timeless cult-classic.

When the heart kicks in after about 30 minutes you are rewarded with floral lavender and geranium and after about an hour comes the excellent great fruity, leathery and woody base – the creamy sandalwood and fruits is what’s most prominent.Very few fragrances are so prolific as to stand out as fresh-cleans while doubling successfully as woody orientals, but this one really does, and is about as diverse as it gets. In time I grew to love it, that whole Mediterranean feel is gorgeous and at the time was unlike anything I’d ever smelled. I asked it as a gift from my parents for Sinterklaas (Dutch Santa Claus) because I liked the description in a folder from my local perfumery. My admiration for her has less to do with who her daddy was and more to do about how she brave-faced the hisses and boos wearing 1940s vintage to 1970s Paris catwalk shows long before "alternative" fashion was a comfortable choice.

Minotaure can be wearable all year long but I will be cautious to use it in hot summers, specially if you live in a hot humid area. Ankle boots are on everyone's sartorial wish list and you'll see why when exploring our designer shoe outlet.

This is how a sandalwood ship, beaming her eyesome graciousness while sailing on an primordial sea smelled like. Considering how L'Oreal loves to bring out the different kinds of the scent such as eau fraiche, legeree, intense, L'eau de. New formulations are considerably weaker , and not so dense than the OG bottles and the plastic cap looks cheap. I think this is an excellent choice for grown men who wants a different, mature, subtle date or night scent.

While each flower gives off its own distinct profile, they form a gorgeous bouquet of garden scents.

Fragrantica is using an old and "low resolution" picture here, the bottle does in fact looks better in real life as krmarich commented. I'll confess: it was that Paloma Picasso had put her name to it that attracted my attention in the first place.

It has been lovely smelling this again and it is a scent which I think has not dated at all, it draws just as much attention now as it did then. I was always intrigued by this fragrance and it wasn't really love at first sniff, but I was drawn into the whole packaging and the name Picasso sold it to me.Its mostly galbanum, tarragon, coriander, with a fair amount of aldehydes, BUT , what makes a difference, all these sour ingredients served to you with very cunning vanilla-musky smile by a waiter with face of Dorian Gray. As we hit the mid notes there is a certain warmth exuded by this fragrance; sandalwood and musk come through giving Minotaure warmer depth.
