A new revelation from ARQUISTE
- Boutonnière No7 -
The Gardenia of the Prohibition
The New Style in NY
The New Style in NY
La mode passe, le parfum reste...but with Rodrigo, style is an explosion. BEAUX. He has a charisma like those Mexican tuberose flowers which can scent an entire room even before they bloom. After all, he signed some of the most spectacular perfumes from Tom Ford which are today the expression of the masculine elegance worldwide. "Gardenia all'occhiello" I would say in the eternal city because I speak Italian. Behind the veils of perfume and the masks worn by Garbo and Gilbert in the famous movie ..... there is always a gardenia and love. The flower of Coco and Yves in Paris.
Black Cashmere (Donna Karan) was a sensation for me ... i'd wear it day and night, but the perfume is no more produced.
Carlos had the new perfume this June with him in Paris. I could hardly have any objective attitude in front of a gardenia, a scent I remade so many times with that forbidden quelque chose of a decadent flower. Have you ever smelled the pure natural extracts of gardenia combined with the latest molecules, the secrets of the Sphinx extracted by Givaudan?

This time, the perfume is like a portrait of Rodrigo and I predict a huge success for this highly elegant perfume every dandy must possess. It is the most accurate description of the scent from the Great Gatsby era where the delicacy of petals becomes the most seductive Latin lover. The perfume is highly dramatic, but a new kind of drama...like the one with a similar green note from the Tom Ford line. Perfect!
Combine the roaring 20's prohibition, the elegance of Great Gatsby with the Mexican moustache and a touch of Greta GARBO. The Temptress ... The Flesh and The Devil - this is BOUTONNIERE NO. 7. Not diva, DIVINE.
"I want to be alone" whispers the gardenia flower, "I'll seduce you more than the garden of EDEN". The silence of this gardenia is the effect of a silent movie - women saw Valentino and Gilbert and they became possessed ... this is the effect of "the flesh and the devil" - the essence which blooms inside the flower worn at Boutonnière. The Man DIVINE
