The base is savoury and strong with sandalwood and cedar finished with a gentle sweetness of vanilla This is an aftershave I fell in love with 25 years ago and was gutted it got discontinued. It has been lovely smelling this again and it is a scent which I think has not dated at all, it draws just as much attention now as it did then. It’s a really nice sweet oriental type scent that carries well and last all evening. But this one was never so violent that it would trigger escape reflexes in me. Who knows me a little bit, knows about my reservations about animal scents In principle, I like it otherwise a bit quieter and more sedate, with the typical exceptions that confirm every rule. Because especially in the colder season, fragrances are allowed to be a bit of a buzz, even if they don't necessarily have to have a radiance from here to the next outskirts of town ;-) Only the classification in sweet-oriental leaves me a bit helpless. Sweet, no doubt about it. But oriental? From today's perspective, in times of rose and oud and all the Arab perfume brands, hardly. Rather in retrospect, in the spirit of Lagerfeld Classic and Obsession. Is there a need for an adapted classification in view of the new Orientals? Today I felt like wearing Minotaure by Paloma Picasso again This was one of the fragrances I owned at the very beginning of my "fragrance career". I think I remember that it was about 2-3 scents. Very clear compared to today :-D

Minotaure by Paloma Picasso (Eau de Toilette) » Reviews

It was around the end of the 90s, I must have been around 15 or 16 when I accidentally, through a friend, came across a miniature of Minotaure. The small bottle with the mythological lettering "Minotaure" immediately aroused my curiosity.After the start of the show, the flowers are primarily jasmine! In addition the geraniums join a little bit .... and that was it also for me, what however also completely enough I find! Unfortunately, the fragrance soon weakens a bit when "Dry", a combination of musk and sandalwood, is applied to the skin towards the end! Only if you smell it again you will discover the sweetish note of vanilla and tonka beans before the muscle power of the bull man starts to fade away! EDT’s are not as highly concentrated in oils and elixirs as an EDP or Perfume would be and contain one to three per cent of fragrance oils. This impacts the ability of the fragrance to last and around eighty percent of the oils in an EDT fragrance will evaporate within three hours of application. Agincourt had one 2-cylinder horizontal return connecting rod-steam engine, made by Maudslay, driving a single propeller using steam provided by 10 rectangular fire-tube boilers. It produced a total of 4,426 indicated horsepower (3,300 kW) during the ship's sea trials on 12 December 1865 and Agincourt had a maximum speed of 13.55 knots (25.09km/h; 15.59mph). The ship carried 750 long tons (760t) of coal, [7] enough to steam 1,500 nautical miles (2,800km; 1,700mi) at 7.5 knots (13.9km/h; 8.6mph). [4] I've been preoccupied with this fragrance for quite some time, it has even been one of the reasons why I joined the Parfumo community, but one after the other... This 1933 print from the Vollard Suite marks one of Picasso’s first uses of the minotaur. One of several sex scenes, it was created in his Boisgeloup studio, the woman his lover, Marie-Thérèse Walter. Monster love

Paloma Picasso Minotaure Eau de Toilette Spray Perfume for

When Minotaure was released, it was a powerhouse fragrance. A few spritzes of it went a long way. After my leftover Minotaure had finally got rotten, I wondered if I should buy it again. Of course, it was reformulated – but its basic character is not lost. The bull just has been reduced of some of its strength – so it is actually easier to wear. But the “marble” appeal has not changed. I'd say, Minotaure was modernized with consideration.I have an earlier Cosmair formulation as it has been stressed over and again that any that followed were inferior. If it's mentioned numerous times and with much conviction, I felt it made sense to just go for it, and I am pleased with this 90s fruity tooty, orange creamsicle, dreamy amber. Ironclad is the all-encompassing term for armoured warships of this period. Armoured frigates were basically designed for the same role as traditional wooden frigates, but this later changed as the size and expense of these ships forced them to be used in the line of battle. The bottle has obviously remained completely the same over the years. Chic and decorative, not overloaded. The power is typically 90s. It holds perfectly and is also space-filling. Both, of course, related to my vintage formulation. Parkes, Oscar (1990). British Battleships (reprint of the 1957ed.). Annapolis, Maryland: Naval Institute Press. ISBN 1-55750-075-4.

Du Mufle La Main D’Une Dormeuse: Picasso Minotaure Caressant Du Mufle La Main D’Une Dormeuse: Picasso

A prelude with slightly soapy aldehydes, herbs and sweetish notes, probably represented by the undefined fruits. This doesn't really start off quietly. Minotaure is not the only “marble scent”. Shortly after its release, Laura Biagiotti came out with “Roma Uomo”, and Nikos with “Sculpture Homme”. They all have this dry dustiness, and they all refer to the ancient world with their names. So, I think, maybe I am not the only one who gets these pictures. You can also describe the overall impression as dry and earthy – or better: like sand. Minotaure is an autumn scent, and also the musty smell of fallen leaves may remind you of it. As the name indicates, Minotaure is not a too artificial or elegant perfume – it is a white bull! I'd say that this earthy fragrance might mostly appeal to men who by themselves feel grounded and down-to-earth. Minotaure was the Terre d'Hermès of the 1990's.

If the original version was a real daredevil, a wild bull, which trampled and snorted immediately and had a decent durability of at least 8 hours, together with a proper veil of scent, the bull, which had become a dear little ox, mooed up strongly at the beginning and then the strength left him quite fast. After 3-4 hours it has mooed and projection is only noticeable in the first half hour. The Minotaur or Minotaurus is a figure from Greek mythology. Don't worry, I'm not giving a lesson in history or mythology now I found the name actually quite fittingly chosen, he was a very powerful representative at the time of his appearance. Expressive, persistent, masculine, spicy, with a slight animalistic undertone. The Minotaur is a reoccurring theme in Pablo Picasso's work, and this is where his daughter got the name for her only masculine fragrance. The name "Minotaure" is sculptured in the glass circling the whole bottle. The fragrance itself has citrus topnotes, herb heartnotes and basenotes of musk and amber. Minotaure fragrance notes
