“Initially created for an exhibition on ‘The Ballet Russes’ for the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, this perfume pays homage to one of the greatest forces of the twentieth century: Sergei Diaghilev. Founder of the legendary Ballet Russes, he totally re-wrote the rules of artistry and was even said to have scented the curtains of the theatre so patrons were enveloped in a burst of fragrance as they were raised at the start of the performance. A bold symphony of 32 ingredients, a floral heart of jasmine, tuberose, heliotrope and violet create a sweet and beautiful harmony, which is underscored by a lively melody of fruity blackcurrant, peach and citrus. Warm, earthy patchouli and oakmoss are joined on stage by the naughty seductiveness of Bbenzoin, leather and labdanum. An unmistakable creation, ‘Diaghilev’ -much like the man himself- is too decadent to be forgotten.”
