New fragrances from Esteban, Parfums d'Armando Martinez

Posted by Robin on 8 October 2008 4 Comments

Esteban Ambrorient perfume

Esteban has launched a new collection, Les Orientaux, made up of three fragrances:

Ambrorient (shown) ~ "The shapely, rounded dunes echo the sun’s golden rays. Their reflections shimmer with petals and citrus fruit, melting into a delicious honey."

Orientalissime ~ "With airy softness, the precious woods pierce the sky with their slender tops. The diaphanous halo of wispy whorls encircle these graceful peaks."

Oriental spice ~ "With captivating grace, spices mingle and swirl. Their lively dance swings from vibrant freshness to powerful softness."

The Esteban Les Orientaux fragrances are available in 50 ml Eau de Parfum. (via esteban.fr)

Other recent launches from Esteban: Angelic Flower, Oriental Flower, Sonata Flower, Cuir, Patchouli & Balade creole.

Indie line Parfums d'Armando Martinez has introduced three new fragrances:

BoHo ~ "Boho - a scent, just as distinctive and complex as the underlying style of Boho chic. [...] Martinez describes BoHo as a 'patchouli, coconut, floral, salinic scent' - and as such BoHo presents itself: In the prelude coconut and flowers of some exotic nature, dominate and is complemented by a slowly developing salty note with a certain depth lent by patchouli."

Les Fauves ~ "Namesake and inspiration for this fragrance are the Les Fauves - the originally the pejorative term of "wild animals" which referred to an individualistic artistic movement at the beginning of the 20th Century in France that revolutionized, the established concept of colour and functioned as a kind of forerunner for Expressionism. [...] ...described as an 'animalic, spicy amber scent': A herbal kick with slightly bitter trends, coupled with a rich pepper note that doesn’t lack in sharpness, which progresses to a ambery leather note - dark, but with a spicy-hot sweetness."

Silver Lining ~ "...described by its creator as an "Anisic and iris scent", equals a fine, gentle lucid brush stroke, casually dabbed, created with lightness but still dominated by a certain unpretentiousness. Silver Lining, used in English as an idiom, is a thoroughly positive scent that conveys more feeling than perfume usually does: Soft anise and a creamy iris interpretation merge into a languorous scent that flatters the wearers skin and wraps it in a delicate veil."

Parfums d'Armando Martinez BoHo, Les Fauves & Silver Lining are available now at First in Fragrance in Germany, in 50 ml Eau de Parfum.

    I was waiting for the usual withering observations about ad copy that reads, “With airy softness, the precious woods pierce the sky with their slender tops. The diaphanous halo of wispy whorls encircle these graceful peaks.” But, NOTHING? Not one peep from anybody? Is it just ME???

    We're speechless, that's all, due to the head-spinning effect of the wispy whorls of diaphanous halos encircling our graceful peaks. It's too personal for words. *swats encircling halos away from assaulted peaks*
