Alaia Paris
Alaia Paris - perfume for women
Alaia Paris by Alaia - A floral oriental perfume for women. The debut fragrance of fashion designer Azzedine Alaia, created by Firmenich perfumer, Marie Salamagne, to evoke Alaian's request for a scent reminiscent of cold water falling on hot chalk. The fresh, aquatic mineral and airy notes mix with freesia and peony, with a mildly musky animalistic dry down scent. Available in an eau de parfum spray, body lotion, shower gel, and scented candle from Saks.

Alaia Paris
"Marie Salamagne is bold, determined and enthusiastic, as soon as she heard of 'Mr Alaia's brief' (the smell of cold water falling on hot chalk), she immediately started searching. 'Very quickly,' she says, 'I came up with a formula that evoked this feeling: they were fresh, aquatic mineral notes; I created this accord by progressive essays, in less than one day. Then, I had the intuition that it needed to be mixed in clair-obscur, in a less innocent way and I added an animal note by surrounding it with musk.'" --alaiaparfum.com

Warning: You may covet this Alaia creation as much as this designer's laser-cut totes. Pink pepper and musk notes make it plenty spicy, but there's also a surprising lightness from freesia.
