| Blends of floral and citrus-based fragrances are recommended for casual and daywear. Spicy, woody or warm amber-based fragrances are traditionally favorites for evening and special occasions. |

| It's interesting to see how the French perfumers have drawn inspiration from their predecessors over the last century. Take Bellodgia, for example. A spicy carnation scent: long-lasting, very sophisticated. Nicer (to my nose, at least) than Nina Ricci's L'Air du Temps which follows Bellodgia's fragrance notes fairly closely. Both are floral-carnation scents. Then in the '80s, YSL in turn, in developing a new fragrance, closely followed the formulation of L'Air Du Temps, substituting two major notes, and, voila, we have Paris. And while it's not a spicy carnation scent, it does ultimately owe its heritage to Bellodgia, a classic's classic. If you're a Bellodgia fan, wear it proudly and with panache. Bonjour! |
