Empreinte Courrèges 2012

A footprint was what inspired Andre Courrèges to create this futuristically
appearing fragrance.
In the summer of '69, the flight to the moon, his first touch.
So elevated, new, and extraordinary should the scent also become.
I’ll dance a little out of line.
Spicy is the opening for my feeling,
fruity but not too hesperidic, delicately soapy, aldehydic.
The heart, jasmine, finely floral to green, bittersweet, very straight, always getting louder.
A skillful mix of romantic, linear, and forward-moving.
The base is warm, subtly sexy with a hint of don’t touch me, I’m a chypre.
Fine soapiness and green remain, it never gets too dry:-)
Leather, patchouli, cedar, and other woods, amber come together and overwhelm me,
the honeydew melon hangs in there all the way down.
The scent is a very successful reinterpretation of the classic.
The 70s charm has remained:-))
When I look at the promotional poster for Empreinte, I’m immediately reminded of
Milla Jovovich in
Luc Besson's film "The Fifth Element," the presentation is quite similar.

I have a fragrance in my cabinet that I find very similar in direct comparison
“Come la Luna.”
Did the noses at Bois 1920 sniff a bit of this?;-)
For me, it’s a very feminine scent, a must for chypre lovers, Michelangelas, Medusas, all
strong women and a few brave men who dare to wear it!
The longevity is good, the sillage is impressive :D:D
One of the few “modern chypres” that should and must be called that:)
My dears...quickly erase the pyramid up there :D:D
it’s completely wrong:D:D:D
