We saw earlier that Walt Disney villains were perfumistas undeclared (not content with having a laugh and a demonic evil spirit, they also have a perfume that kills mouahaha!).
Today, Mister Phoebus takes you on the side kind of force to go to kiss the heroines of fairy tales and learn at the same time the perfume they wear, and keep secret for very long ... (Well I say that I'm not interested in versions of Walt Disney, who tend to reverse the position of women half a century featuring adorable adooorent pitchers who whistle while passing a brush stroke . So I will discuss original tales, although the illustrations that follow will be Disney ... Because it is important to recognize their great stroke of a pen!).
When I feel Penhaligon's Elizabethan Rose, I can not help but think of Beauty and the Beast, the version of Mme Leprince de Baumont. This is smelling a rose garden of the Beast Belle's father was sentenced to death ... And love for her father that Belle has chosen to die in his place. It is through love, finally, that Belle was able to deliver the beast his curse. And when you think All these adventures are the consequences ... a single rose! Probably for this reason that I imagine very well wear a beautiful fragrance to the rose. There are many candidates, but it's really pink Penhaligon's, which concerns me here. Like heroin, the fragrance is vibrant natural and so simple at the same time! Much smaller than a rose Flechier Edward, and much more realistic than most of the houses soliflores offer. Beauty and the beast is known to be the tale that teaches us true love, according to Bruno Bettelheim ... Elizabethan Rose teaches us how to feel a real rose, it is admittedly less ambitious but it's already that! 
For Cinderella by Charles Perrault, I don ' had no clear idea before having to think about the article. But the link was almost too obvious to think of it right away: it's nickname "Cinderella" because she slept in the ashes, she could not feel anything but burned! And it is precisely the smell of smoke has attempted to recreate Mathilde Laurent XIII's time for Cartier. Cinderella was beautiful even being dirty and poorly dressed, its value was due to any artifice. What else would it smell better than that which teaches us the value from the ashes? (Oh, and then the reference to the fateful hour imposed by the fairy godmother is timely, it must be said!). 
I was reluctant to stick a perfume story of Snow White by the Brothers Grimm, because the theme of the apple was tempting operated and fro across a number of marks. I absolutely love Lolita Lempicka, but his first fragrance has much too much character and whimsy to belong to Snow White. The other apple perfume, Nina Ricci Nina, even if he feels good, does not, however, neither fantasy character ... Snow White is certainly a goose as his colleagues but not to the point of wearing insubstentielle Scarlett! (That said, the snow white disney could ...). That is the danger of associations. A split second I even thought about Light Blue D & G because it is the only perfume that I know that smacks of Apple ... But no, no, not too easy, too late! I then seriously considered Essence Narciso Rodriguez because he reminds me a clear white, but again it was too easy. And Olfactorum published an article about Cruel Gardenia by Guerlain, I never felt but whose description intrigued me away: diamonds, blinding white, a mineral appearance, and a flower that sparkles middle of it. Obviously! When Snow White "dies" because of the poisoned apple, his faithful seven dwarfs him up in a huge crystal coffin, to continue to admire its beauty (and you know the rest: it is through this system showcase the Prince Charming, who was passing by, took his unabashedly necrophiliacs trends by asking to kiss the corpse of a kiss of love, oh luck, broke the spell!). If you forget the "cruel" and that focuses on "Gardenia," this could Guerlain convernir perfectly with Snow White, right? And a little bonus from Jicky! (05/01/2011
The fragrance of the good fairy! This Cinderella, the Fairy (Charles Perrault), in short, our archetype of THE savior. Well you know what, I see clearly with black ink Lalique. Because it well known, the good fairy did not reveal immediatly! No! It becomes ugly old lady in distress and giving alms to test the "honesty" of "nice". Black Ink, first because, as Jeanne said here, it's almost better designated as vetiver on Earth, and also because it was indeed a very dark side, which opposes the obvious clarity a fairy (remember the test;). The earthy may also oppose the air aspect of a fairy. And then, you know, I mean facet earthy, but Black Ink is so clear in its construction, its evolution, so obvious that, like the magical powers of the good fairy, it seems to solve everything. He can feel the mineral diamond, but also may call the snakes to a dark side and slippery. The wood of the wand. The twinkle in his eyes. Metamorphosis.
Yes, a real flavor of illusionist!
