Tentations Paloma Picasso 1996 Eau de Parfum

Stylish and elegant, that's her - this woman, this advertising icon in her own right, with her Snow White face: Paloma Picasso!
Her name guarantees attention: as the second child of the painter Françoise Gilot and this famous father - Pablo Picasso! But she never actually needed it - she had a face: white as snow, red as blood and black as ebony; a "Snow White face"! And with this she was the best advertisement for her fragrances and cosmetics; people looked at least twice! Even my mom loved this bright red lipstick, but only used it very rarely: It was "too bad" for her! (It ended up in the bin when she was clearing out her apartment - what a shame!)

"Paloma Picasso" - what a fragrance; "Tentations", seduction incarnate, is in no way inferior to it! Only it was like many second-borns: The first place was taken and somehow it fell into oblivion!
Unjustly! Unjustly so!

Yet "Tentations" also shines - even today! Here, seduction is not only presented in a sophisticated but also elegant way, despite all the opulence! A fruity-southern prelude, spicy and with that "certain something": a shot of vodka - not for bores; not even enough for a little "Schwipserl", but the pinch of black pepper likes to float!
I said it: refined!
The exuberant floral splendor of the nineties fragrances: oh, what I miss!
A floral heart of classics of their kind: precious roses, fragrant garden carnations with their ballerina skirts of pink lace and sensually exuberant white cascades of jasmine blossoms! A touch of vanilla from the exotic orchid, a hint of corresponding tonka bean and very simple kitchen spices: Stylish!
Precious resins join the noble and smoky final round dance: Great!
They float, intertwine and unravel, find each other again, envelop warmly, enticingly and lightly brushing the senses against the grain: skillful! Silky-silky cedarwood accords and creamy sandalwood accents complete this oriental-rich fragrance magic!

We seduced with and were seduced by "Tentations": Anything was possible - for hours!
This rich, warm and oriental fragrance aura did not disappear quickly; it transformed but never adapted: "Tentations" always set the pace of this fragrant dance!

Where have they gone, these lush, fragrant times?
Fortunately, they can be brought back to life through fragrances, sometimes in closets, old chests or other containers, usually carefully stored and unconsciously preserved!
In most cases, they even still fit us, unlike some of our favorite dresses from that bygone era!
Paloma Picasso shows once again that seduction and elegance complement each other wonderfully.
She deserves thanks for that! We just mustn't forget it, otherwise we'll freeze in the everyday gray.
