At the TFWA exhibition in Cannes, a series of Matieres Libres perfumes from the perfume house Panouge was presented. A review by Sunday21.
All new fragrances from Panouge were dedicated to light gourmet tastes. They were created by perfumery masters Patrice Revyara and Marie Shnirera, who were remarkably inspired by watercolour painting. They tried to combine their sense of smell with some kind of visualization accompaniment. All the perfumes were created thanks to Patrice's painting, who is also fond of drawing and photography in addition to fragrances. They created two perfumes each. From Patrice were Prune Imoortelle and Datura Amaretti, and from Marie were Berries Sous-Bois and Patchouli Figue. All the fragrances in their names have accents on the key ingredients of aromatic compositions that emphasize the taste of real gourmets. All the fragrances are in bottles with a simple but rather elegant design, they fully correspond to Patrice's drawings.
Briefly about the fragrances of Matieres Libres collection.
Datura Amaretti will conquer any heady smell of durman, which is enriched with notes of cherry, almond and caramel. Here you can also hear tuberose and ylang ylang, enriched with thin beans and caramel. But the most important ingredient is still dulman, others are somewhere in the background.
Berries Sous-Bois perfume, which was inspired by Marie's childhood memories with raspberry gums. That's why you can clearly hear red fruits intertwined with notes of powder and violets. The base chords here have a woody tint.
Prune Immortelle is a Patrice perfume that revolves around a note of ripe plums with yellow fruits. In the heart and base note you can hear metallic, ozone and even salty accents of oak moss, they hold back the perfume, giving it elegance.
Patchouli Figue is a fragrance created by Marie Shnirer. It begins with the sound of a pear and quince tree, complemented by figs, while the base is clearly patchouli and an accent from cocoa. The aroma is considered neo-chip and sounds very modern.
