Jumpsuit Eau De Parfum

THE OLFACTION

Joyful, captivating, as bright as the morning light, the soaring scent of magnolia expresses all its irresistible charm in the hands of Master Perfumer Carlos Benaïm, as a fragrant tribute to the jaunty JUMPSUIT. “I remember a stay in Portofino that has remained imprinted in my olfactory memory”, he recalls. “My hotel overlooked a grove of magnolia trees in full blossom on a very steep slope that drove straight into the sea. Intrepid and fascinated, I leaned over to savor their fresh, floral scent. A marvel! This instant was a great inspiration to me when I composed JUMPSUIT.” With its complex, yet diaphanous facets, the precious essence of magnolia is almost a perfume. Carlos Benaïm brings out its full radiance, magnifying each of these facets in turn. Citrusy brightness, boosted by the vibrant, zesty, peppery essence of bergamot. Rosy freshness. Velvety peachiness. And a heady white floral trail, enhanced by a deliciously fruity absolute of jasmine grandiflorum…

THE INSPIRATION

Discovering the true beauty of a utilitarian garment. Turning it into an archetype of fashion. That was Yves Saint Laurent’s signature gesture. In 1968, through his vision, the functional overall of car racers and parachutists ,hence its name, the “jump” suit. Daring, dashing yet unexpectedly elegant, Yves Saint-Laurent’s first, short evening jumpsuit in black silk jersey was acclaimed by the fashion press as a bold new fashion statement. An integral element of the house’s vocabulary, it is still prominently featured in its collections. A second skin combining the sexiness of the miniskirt and the brisk practicality of shorts, the jumpsuit reveals the body and its shape through vibrant colors.
