Le Vestiaire Blouse Extrait Eau De Parfum

The inspiration
The quest for Blouse Extrait de Parfum 68 Rose was inspired by a rebellious piece: the see-through blouse. The first of its kind. Originally a simple farmer's smock, M. Saint Laurent transformed it into an icon of liberation – a daring creation that redefined femininity. This fragrance embodies that audacity, a revolutionary spirit, forever captured in a bottle.

The year is 1968. At the height of the sexual revolution, a cultural shift sweeps through fashion. M. Saint Laurent unveils the see-through blouse in his Spring-Summer collection, a provocative yet captivating design. More than a garment, it is a statement. Revealing the female form with unprecedented impertinence through its diaphanous fabric, it challenged conventions, igniting a cultural firestorm. On the runway, model Danielle Sauvajeon embodied this new era of feminine expression. The blouse became an instant icon, sparking both admiration for its daring attitude and controversy for its challenge to the status quo. With Blouse Extrait de Parfum 68 Rose, the nude look finds its ultimate expression. The essence of an era reborn.

THE OLFACTION
The macerated Rose evokes a grand cru of perfumery. A green floral juice crafted by Perfumer Quentin Bisch.

Blouse Extrait de Parfum 68 reveals a rose laid bare, its green stem captured within the crisp, freshness of a green vegetal accord, enhanced by resinous and balsamic tones. Radiant Italian bergamot adds a vibrant touch to the opening. Each carefully selected ingredient expressing the naked body unveiled by M. Saint Laurent’s impertinent blouse.

In the heart, a quartet of roses unfolds, each adding a unique nuance to this olfactory masterpiece. The fresh, airy rose accord from the Ourika Community Gardens, bathed in morning dew, blends with the rich, enveloping rose absolute, while the spicy rose damascena essence adds depth. Inspired by the time-honored traditions of cognac crafting, a unique maceration process steeps precious rose centifolia absolute with carefully selected French oak wood. This 4-week long aging process allows the rose to absorb the oak’s tannin and woody notes, creating a warm, sensual depth. The oak shavings are chosen for their round, soft vanillic aromatic potential, which contrasts with the rose's honeyed sweetness without overpowering its delicate floral character. The textured facets of a rare vegetal musk, a precious ambrette absolute crafted especially for the brand, envelops the naked rose.

The refined violet nuances of iris pallida butter brush its petals with delicate powder. The base reveals an expansive blend of amber woods, enhanced by sophisticated Cashmeran, which adds warmth and texture. A green whisper of angelica seed completes this captivating composition.
