Belle Joueuse L'Atelier Parfum 2021

THE fragrance for those who mourn the bombastic shoulder pad chypres of the 80s, like Knowing/Montana/Scherrer and similar nostalgia. Those masterpieces that entered the room long before their wearer and guaranteed ample space for their appearance! And that long before the unbearable Poisons and Angels.
Sprayed generously, the beautiful player also guarantees a minimum distance around you even in CoVid times. In this respect, it is also THE fragrance for 2021 as well as for social phobics or those accustomed to going out.
Of course, the question arises whether there haven't already been enough of these bombers and whether their time is really over. Well, in my opinion, the originals all suffer from the reformulations that timidly weaken the intensity of the original composition and thus throw it out of balance.
Here, however, the world still works. Belle Joueuse is not as heavy as her great aunts and is therefore more balanced from the very beginning. This makes her, despite all the nostalgia in her family tree, more contemporary. She doesn't reinvent the world, but delights all the more!
