Truth or Dare Fragrance By Madonna

Truth or Dare Fragrance By Madonna

I have always been obsessed by fragrance and for years wanted to create something personal that was an expression of me says Madonna…

Madonna’s debut fragrance Truth or Dare Eau de Parfum is an intoxicating blend of narcotic florals balanced with addictive woods and vanilla.

Madonna drew from her childhood memories of her mother to create a very personal fragrance. “I have always been obsessed by fragrance and for years wanted to create something personal that was an expression of me, but that other people could relate to as well. Something classical and timeless and yet modern,” Madonna told WWD.

“My oldest memory of my mother is her perfume. I carry it with me everywhere. She always smelled like gardenias and tuberose, an intoxicating mixture – feminine and mysterious.

“I wanted to re-create this scent, but with something fresh and new about it as well. Something honest and yet daring — hence the name Truth or Dare,” she explained.

Fashion designer, author, actress and television personality Nicole Richie can now add fragrance designer to her impressive list of accolades.

 

Nicole is set to launch her debut fragrance later this year and says her inspiration for the scent came from her childhood and her mom. “I grew up with a mom who loved beauty.

The art-deco bottle was desinged in collaboration award winning designer Dale Brandon Kan. “I wanted it to represent different layers of a woman, which is what I try to do with Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960.

 

“I’m very particular in the way that I create. We’re in an interesting time right now where women aren’t just one thing — there are many different parts to a woman” Nicole told WWD. “So I wanted to create a very intricate bottle that was still elegant, but not so in-your-face girly at the same time,” she explains.

L’Air Du Temps Perfume

L’Air Du Temps Perfume: Review

As one of the absolute classic Nina Ricci Perfumes, L’Air Du Temps has a combination of both fragrance and emotion that continues to be relevant from generation-to-generation. Below we will review why this perfume still has a broad popularity long after its 1948 launch:

Feeling

Saying a lot about the values of the time period when it was first brought to market, this enduring scent embodies purity, peace, love and freedom. Developed by perfumer Francis Fabron, L’Air Du Temps is a bright and romantic perfume. Having been called an “olfactory miracle” by Robert Ricci, it is a fragrance that puts the wearer in an angelic state of being. When you first take the scent in, a floral bouquet tickles your senses – much like an early summer’s breeze. This is followed up by a noble, soft sweetness that provides an unassuming romantic hint. Finally, a caressing sandalwood base completes the experience.

Ingredients

Primary – Floral Spice

Top – Carnation and Gardenia

Mid – Centifolia Rose and Jasmine

Base – Iris and Sandalwood

Bottle Design

While it was a sun shaped bottle that helped debut the fragrance, L’Air Du Temps is known for living in an iconic twin-dove capped bottle. It is the two doves at the top that represent the purity and freedom embraced by this perfume. The glass of the bottle is best interpreted from the bottom up – it spirals in a mesmerizing fashion towards the two doves perched atop, as if ready to set them off in flight. The twin-dove design first appeared in 1951, when the bottle itself was actually composed of Lalique Crystal, and has been the flagship design of this romantic perfume ever since.

Campaign

Over the years, a fragrance this established has seen its share of different campaigns. Consistent throughout every one, however, has been the dove motif. Throughout most of the commercial spots produced for L’Air Du Temps, it is described as “the romantic perfume”. An example of one of these ads, below, sees a woman begin in a mansion on her own. Upon looking deeply at a painting of a fairy tale scene, she instantly finds herself there, encountering a potential Prince Charming.

 

L’Air Du Temps is one of the scents that has been said to be a basis for many copy-cat fragrances within the perfume industry. Its ingredients and positioning around purity and romance makes this a brand with staying power that is likely to endure for years to come.
