Parfums chyprés
Parfums chyprés, intenses et magnétiques. Mitsouko de Guerlain Un accord majeur facetté de fleurs, de fruits et d’animalité qui fait scintiller un art du clair-obscur pour inspires les parfumeurs et chavirer les cœurs. Parfums chyprés C’est un accord de matières premières qui forme la famille olfactive la plus riche, la plus énigmatique, la plus audacieuse. Le terme vient de l’île de Chypre –…

i'm still a slut for animalics
Tumblr media
i'm back with more! as we enter a new year, i've realized nothing will ever top my love of animalics. to me this is the peak of femininity--not florals or gourmands, but the raw sex appeal of this perfume category embodies every thing i want to be. and this time i'm upping the ante. we're moving away from softer musks and honey notes, instead we're going full blown sweaty and skanky with cumin, and civet. these are difficult and they're supposed to be. so to make things more interesting we're gonna explore older, vintage animalics versus newer animalics and see how they differ and compare.
vintage animalics are notable for their use of animal products. the practice has been thankfully discontinued but i can't lie and say i don't smell the difference. they were richer, dirtier and overall more potent. therefore if you want the full experience i recommend ebay, facebook marketplace, vinted and estate sales for older bottles.
Tumblr media
(1932) the oldest on the list, tabu was beloved by old hollyword stars for its sultry, spicy ultra-feminine scent. crafted by perfumer jean carles, he was reportedly given the scandalous instructions to make a perfume for "whores" and that he did! its lush and rich, projecting far and making an appearence before you step into the room. a favorite of dorothy dandridge it's no surprise this was favored by many a screen siren. however i suggest you look on ebay for vintage versions as theyre easy to come by and aren't too expensive. the new reformulations just don't cut it!
Tumblr media
(1944) femme rochas is next, this scent was famously worn by mae west and its shapely bottle matches her figure perfectly. the peach mimics soft, warm skin and its spiciness adds depth and sensuality. a perfume that makes you want to wear nothing else. while vintage bottles are best, the modern reformulations are also lovely.
Tumblr media
(1944) another 40s creation, bandit isnt as favored as fracas (notably worn by stars like madonna) as it's more androgynous, edgy and quite frankly tough. perfect for marlene dietrich who was known for her transgressive roles and star power. bandit is a vetiver forward fragrance with a rich leather and civet drydown. this isn't for the frivolous type. if you wear this you're on top.
Tumblr media
(1962) bal à versailles is extremely animalic. deep, spicy and resinous it's a highly polarizing scent. the powdery notes are either cloying or comforting, and this is one where all reformulations are pretty good, but there's enough differences where some prefer one over the others. as vintage as it gets and not for the faint of heart.
we're gonna break away from the old girls (affectionate, reverent) and we're gonna meet the new hussies. these animalics are created with synthetic animalics or by replicating it with non animal scents like cumin. don't sleep on these, as they're staying strong in a wave of florals and gourmands.
Tumblr media
(2006) kicking off this century we have putain des palaces, another perfume for whores (it's name translates to palace whore) and its made to envoke a whore's boudoir: lace, powder, skin musk. her nightly routine. its a sensuous fantasy, and it's powdery notes make her delicate, and skinlike.
Tumblr media
(2012) mad madam is a very carnal rose. well its not just the rose, but the whole bush thorns and all. it's like you stumbled out scratched and a little bloodied after an illfated idea to take a tumble. it has a nice greenness to them, very sexy and luscious. its dirty earthiness gives it an edge over other roses.
Tumblr media
(2015) here we have salome. and this is a raunchy girl befitting her name. to many this smells like straight up sex, or at the very least how you smell after having sex and you put on a fur coat instead of a robe. the florals come in and give it a bit of class but not much, and its dry and sweaty and honestly? a little perverse. an animalic very much in the vein of her foremothers.
Tumblr media
(2017) you thought i wouldn't add another scent by the queen of animalics?? well this time we're venturing into under my skin by francesca bianchi. this is sensual, warm, and completely fits its name with its skinlike scent. this isnt clean skin but it isnt dirty skin either, this is the human smell of your body after its sweated in the warm sun. blends well and and settles smoothly like all her other creations.
Tumblr media
(2021) now in this decade we have rosenrot intense, created by the metal band rammstein . this perfume is odd in a good way, this is animalic by way of a tiger with a bloodied face after a feast. but dont be too scared of the blood note, it's really not that prominent i just like exaggerating. i'd say the incense note is more prominent, making this more of a smoky animalic rose with a slight metallic undercurrant.
Tumblr media
(2024) les cahiers secrets is a perfume with a backstory catered to me. the brand jouissance based it's scents over female erotica writers, and this one in particular is based on anais nin. it's another powdery skin scent. and i don't mean skin scent as in close and soft, but in that it mimics skin. it's slightly sweaty, and the mid notes give it a makeupy scent. perfect for banging out smut for a dollar a page.
Tumblr media
(2024) i'm not gonna lie and say black dog is easy (or well...good) but it's interesting. the durian note makes it a rough opener, but it settles into something darker, more mysterious and a little gothic as the licorice and animalic notes of the base come out. i'd be scared of this one, but intrigued.
Tumblr media
(2024) lastly we have super sexy skunk, another rough go from d.grayi but also very interesting! it's cannabis notes are potent, and thats where the skunk widely comes from. but its almost nostalgic like being in the back of a nissan altima smoking weed way too young. it truly is super sexy, and also very dangerous with its oud and animal notes. even the chocolate gives it some edge.

i wanna get a neat wearable perfume thats like melancholy and weird and a touch animallic. something that has the same quality of fleur dorange and feminite du bois where theyre both gorgeous but a little dirty and artful, but something thats more sad and aloof, but oddly comforting and cathartic in a weird off putting way. ive been circling putain des palaces, l’otpheline, rochas femme, and under my skin, but i need more to choose from. i know lheure blue is a classic of the genre and i will revisit it bur the last time i smelled it it reminded me of urinal cakes. i need something new in my life. none of the perfumes i have and use are moody enough. its either warm, sultry, comforting or sweet dumb bitch confections which i love but im craving something kind of emo and weird and understated.

« Je suis toujours là » : le combat existentiel d’une femme face à la disparition de son mari
Walter Salles choisit de retracer l’histoire (vraie) de Rubens Paiva, ex-député de gauche disparu sous la dictature militaire au Brésil, à travers le regard de son épouse, combattante et mère courage.
Par Jacques Mandelbaum Publié le 15 janvier 2025 à 13h00
Tumblr media
Eunice Paiva (Fernanda Torres), dans « Je suis toujours là », de Walter Salles.  STUDIO CANAL
L’AVIS DU « MONDE » — POURQUOI PAS
Sur la route du cinéma brésilien moderne, pour tracer les choses à très gros traits, trois noms reconnus du public international s’impriment. Le volcanique et possédé Glauber Rocha, figure de proue du « cinema novo » dans les années 1970. Le romanesque et engagé Walter Salles, qui émerge dans les années 1990. L’intellectuel critique Kleber Mendonça Filho, que l’on découvre à compter des années 2010. Le premier, comme brûlé à son propre feu, est disparu de longue date. Le troisième, patient artisan que le règne de l’ex-président d’extrême droite Jair Bolsonaro n’a pas aidé, ourdit à pas lent son prochain film. Le deuxième, perdu de vue depuis de nombreuses années, revient aujourd’hui avec un titre qui, pour concerner au premier chef son héroïne, pourrait aussi bien le désigner.
Révélé mondialement avec Central do Brasil en 1998, en retrait depuis Sur la route, en 2012, une adaptation du roman de Jack Kerouac qui n’avait pas entièrement convaincu, Salles réalise aujourd’hui un film qui connaît un gros succès au Brésil et remet en jeu deux motifs récurrents de son cinéma : l’absence ou la disparition d’un proche, singulièrement d’un père et d’un mari, et conséquemment la survie de ceux qui restent. Situation qu’il installe ici sur le fond du chapitre le plus tragique de l’histoire brésilienne contemporaine : la dictature militaire qui cadenassa et meurtrit le pays de 1964 à 1985. L’histoire, comme on dit, est tirée de faits réels. L’arrestation, en 1971, de Rubens Paiva – un ingénieur qui avait été député du Parti travailliste et se livrait à une résistance pacifique sous la dictature – suivie de sa disparition.
Il laissait derrière lui sa femme, Eunice, et cinq enfants, soudain confrontés au vide, à l’arbitraire, au néant, à l’impossible deuil. Walter Salles met en scène son récit en deux périodes. Une première demi-heure est consacrée à la vie d’une famille heureuse, dans une belle maison moderniste proche de la plage de Rio. La musique, le décor et les tenues, les couleurs du monde et le grain de la pellicule, tout ici, jusqu’au tournage de certaines séquences en super-8, donne l’illusion d’une exacte contemporanéité entre l’époque et le filmage. Tout y est par ailleurs si serein, si joyeux, si ouvert au monde, si aimant, si cool que le spectateur, averti du sujet du film et anticipant la tombée du couperet, se met prudemment à distance d’une plénitude dont il pressent la fonction dramaturgique.
Focalisation mélodramatique
A compter de l’arrestation de Rubens, père et mari exemplaire, un autre film, infiniment plus sombre, commence. Walter Salles prend le parti de le restituer à travers le regard d’Eunice, la femme de Ruben, depuis sa propre arrestation quelques jours après son mari jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine où on la retrouve, très âgée, à Sao Paulo, en compagnie de sa nombreuse descendance. Cette part du film est un portrait de femme qui conjoint une histoire de souffrance indicible et de résilience. L’une et l’autre auront permis à Eunice d’élever ses cinq enfants, de devenir avocate pour les droits des autochtones et de ne jamais abandonner la mémoire de son mari, en recherchant inlassablement les preuves de sa disparition.

Rochas Escapade Exotique Eau Toilette
Tumblr media
Marcel Rochas marca a moda do seu tempo - sem cultivar apenas o clássico, ele vai sempre adiante, obcecado pela perfeiç��o. Lança o seu primeiro perfume “Femme”, sendo um sucesso de imediato. Em 1953, no auge da sua carreira, Marcel Rochas decide fechar a sua casa de alta-costura, determinado a dedicar os seus últimos anos à conceção de fragrâncias. Eau de de Rochas é um perfume icónico que continua a reinventar-se e conquistar os corações do público, desde a sua primeira criação em 1970. Ano após ano, Eau de Rochas transforma-se, tomando ares mais ou menos opulentos, carregando com frescura ou sensualidade. No entanto, desde 2016, a Rochas adoptou o hábito de desenvolver uma edição especial limitada à temporada de verão. Estes perfumes efémeros são o prazer de colecionadores e estão reunidos numa coleção chamada Les Escapades de Rochas.
A nova respiração frutada e solar de Eau de Rochas Escapade Exotique
Mais uma vez, em 2019, a Rochas apresenta-se com um de seus sucos solares e de verão. Desta vez, a sua nova composição é chamada Eau de Rochas Escapade Exotique. Desta vez, mais do que nunca, Rochas escolheu levar-nos para uma terra distante. O tempo é exótico e Escapade Exotique convida a fazer as malas para uma praia paradisíaca.
Tumblr media
O Eau de Rochas Escapade Exotique é inspirado numa ilha aquecida pelo sol, forrada de areia branca e atingida pelo mar. Assim, o aroma desta nova fragrância mistura calor e frescura. Esta fragrância é um novo encontro com a brisa do verão; uma viagem a uma ilha tropical quente e calma, cheia de vegetação exótica. Um lugar de paz e tranquilidade, onde os únicos sons para desfrutar são as ondas do mar e as canções dos pássaros que descansam nas palmeiras. Escapade Exotique contém um aroma surpreendente e luminoso, do qual predominam as notas frutadas desde o primeiro momento. Escapade Eau de Rochas Exotique pertence à família olfativa Floral Fruity para mulheres. O seu aroma exótico aparece com um desfile de notas energéticas e femininas de groselha preta e otimista laranja, junto com um coração frutado de melão, melancia e jasmim. Todo este coquetel de notas é baseado num fundo subtil de almíscar e cedro branco que dão calor a este perfume. A GARRAFA DE ESCAPADE EXOTIQUE A garrafa que envolve o aroma Eau de Rochas Escapade Exotique continua com as formas da clássica linha Eau de Rochas. Uma garrafa de vidro com um look vintage, tingiu um gradiente rosa fúcsia. Uma garrafa coberta com um bujão esférico cheio de ranhuras. Frutas exóticas e o calor do verão são emanados dentro desta fragrância.
Tumblr media
As notas de topo são Maçã, Cassis ou groselha preta e Laranja sanguínea. As notas de coração são Melão, Jasmim e Melancia. As notas de fundo são Extrato de Cedro branco, Almíscar e Ambroxan. Rochas Escapade Exotique está disponível em 100ml Eau Toilette. Read the full article

A noite, o silêncio do quarto, da alma, da mente...permitem que a sintonia dos pingos de chuva se façam canção. Melancólica...
E eu aqui tentando trilhar o caminho de volta, tentando entender em qual passeio eu me perdi...me deixei entre a mata observando aquele por do sol, onde eu quis eternizar o momento....ou fiquei parada sobre o leito do rio ouvindo a melodia da água que sutilmente deslizava entre as rochas, sinuosamente...sem alardes, moldando seu próprio caminho, ou talvez me esqueci tentando compreender a perfeição das flores do campo naquele afloramento esquecido, elas balançavam com o vento e pareciam querer minimizar os rastros do descaso e colorir nossa visão. Quem sabe eu desligada que sou, me esqueci observando a grandeza e o poder de Deus, extasiada com tanta beleza no Cânion, lendo na paisagem as marcas do passado, e como tudo isso estará em um futuro mais distante, com a certeza de que tudo muda, nada é estático. Onde foi que me perdi, onde deixei minha sensibilidade, onde está minha poesia...minha leveza...onde esqueci a minha crença no amor, onde deixei os meus sorrisos espontâneos, meu barulho quietinho, minha voz mansa, meu gesticular desajeitado...mas tão meu, tão eu. Será que eu me deixei no azul....no azul de Paul Valery, que um dia alguém me deu.... "Patience, patience, Patience dans l’azur ! Chaque atome de silence Est la chance d’un fruit mûr ! Viendra l’heureuse surprise : Une colombe, la brise, L’ébranlement le plus doux, Une femme qui s’appuie, Feront tomber cette pluie Où l’on se jette à genoux !"....

Maria por Maria (da Graça Morais)
Maria uma mulher que nasceu , viveu e morreu com a idade de noventa anos, numa pequena aldeia de cerca de cem habitantes, isolada entre montanhas, de fraguedos, vinhas e olivais. Vieiro, lugar onde eu, Maria da Graça, nasci, vivi e observei sempre com emoção as Marias que hoje repousam no cemitério da Aldeia.
Em criança eu desenhava nas fragas com bocados de telhas e pedrinhas e cedo me apercebi que havia marcas muito antigas nessas enormes rochas que existiam nesse Trás-os-Montes majestoso e brutal. Mais tarde, em 1991, seriam descobertas as primeiras gravuras do Côa, a cerca de 40km da aldeia do Vieiro.
Essas mulheres, as Marias, viveram tempos de fome, de emigração dos seus familiares para o Brasil, mais tarde para a França, Alemanha e Suíça e também viveram com dor os dramas das partidas dos filhos para a guerra colonial em África, Angola, Moçambique, Guiné, nos anos sessenta até 1974, ano da revolução dos cravos, do 25 de Abril.
Foram mulheres lutadoras e resignadas, encontrando algum conforto na Fé católica e nos rituais sagrados e profanos daquela pequena comunidade, ligando-as numa forte identidade para continuarem a resistir e lutar por uma vida melhor.
Maria guardava no rosto as rugas da terra lavrada, das cascas das árvores, oliveiras, videiras, sobreiros e do tempo. O seu olhar e sorriso era sábio e silencioso, como o da mula, animal de carga, com quem manteve toda a vida uma cumplicidade nos trabalhos dos dias e das noites, cheios de solidão e dureza.
Realizei esta obra em 1982, numa sala transformada em atelier na casa do meu avô materno, durante um período de grande isolamento e forte necessidade de voltar às raízes, à terra onde nasci e onde durante gerações todos os meus antepassados nasceram, viveram e morreram. Maria trabalhava a terra e eu, Maria da Graça, pintava as telas.
Esta pintura, Maria, representou-me na XVII Bienal de São Paulo em 1983, com grande impacto junto da crítica e dos artistas presentes, e teve como consequência convites para exposições individuais nos Museus de Arte Moderna de São Paulo e do Rio de Janeiro, exposições que se realizaram nos anos de 1984 e 1985.
Desejo que esta obra Maria, valorize e emocione os visitantes da exposição Préhistomania no Musée de l'Homme, tal como sempre me emocionaram as exposições realizadas neste museu, num encontro entre a Arte e a História da Humanidade.
Graça Morais, Outubro de 2023
Traduction en français
Maria par Maria (par Graça Morais)
Maria, est une femme qui est née, qui a vécu et qui est morte dans un petit village d'une centaine d'habitants, isolé dans les montagnes, les vignobles et les oliveraies, à l'âge de 90 ans. Vieiro, c’est le lieu où moi, Maria da Graça, je suis née, j'ai vécu et j'ai toujours regardé avec émotion les Marias qui reposent aujourd'hui dans le cimetière du village.
Enfant, je dessinais avec des morceaux de tuiles et des cailloux sur les rochers et je me suis vite rendu compte qu'il y avait des marques très anciennes sur ces énormes roches qui existaient dans ce Trás-os-Montes, majestueux et brutal. Plus tard, en 1991, les premières gravures de Côa ont été découvertes, à environ 40 kilomètres du village de Vieiro.
Ces femmes, les Marias, ont vécu des périodes de famine, d'émigration de leurs familles vers le Brésil, puis vers la France, l'Allemagne et la Suisse, et elles ont également vécu les tragédies du départ de leurs enfants pour les guerres coloniales en Afrique, en Angola, au Mozambique et en Guinée dans les années 1960 jusqu'au 25 avril 1974, l'année de la Révolution des œillets.
Elles étaient des combattantes et des femmes résignées, trouvant un certain réconfort dans la foi catholique, les rituels sacrés et profanes de cette petite communauté, forgeant une identité forte pour continuer à résister et à lutter pour une vie meilleure.
Le visage de Maria portait les rides de la terre labourée, de l'écorce des arbres, oliviers, vignes, chênes-lièges et du temps. Son regard et son sourire étaient sages et silencieux, comme celui de la mule, sa bête de somme, avec laquelle elle a été complice toute sa vie des travaux des jours et des nuits, remplis de solitude et d'épreuves.
J'ai réalisé ce travail en 1982, dans une pièce transformée en atelier de la maison de mon grand-père maternel, au cours d'une période de grand isolement et d'un fort besoin de retourner à mes racines, à la terre où je suis née et où, depuis des générations, tous mes ancêtres sont nés, ont vécu et sont enterres. Maria travaillait la terre et moi, Maria da Graça, je peins des toiles.
Cette peinture, Maria, m'a représentée à la 17e Biennale de São Paulo en 1983, et a eu un grand impact sur les critiques et les artistes présents. Elle a donné lieu à des invitations pour des expositions individuelles dans les musées d'art moderne de São Paulo et de Rio de Janeiro, expositions qui ont eu lieu en 1984 et 1985.
J'espère que cette œuvre, Maria, enrichira et émouvra les visiteurs de l'exposition Préhistomania au Musée de l'Homme, tout comme j'ai toujours été ému par les expositions de ce musée, dans une rencontre entre l'Art et l'Histoire de l'Humanité.
Graça Morais, Octobre 2023

Number one, Julian "Hellion" Keller. He literally has her team's name as his own, half of her bad blood against Laura came from her fearing she would hurt him. Emma would probably kill Julian's parents to officially make him a Frost, she literally did the: "Come to my office, I will scold you." to do nothing but praise him and she adores him so much she projected her daddy issues and fear of parenting into her relationship with him.
Tumblr media
Number two, Celeste Cuckoo. As much as everyone is like: "Esme is the favorite Cuckoo!" let us be real, Emma at a certain point only refered to Celeste instead of the Cuckoos in general. Which like... fair, she was the first one break into her own and start to take a leadership role.
Tumblr media
Number three, Kitty Pryde. We have to be honest, if Emma could she would absolutely exchange a Cuckoo for Kitty in order to have her as her official daughter. It would probably be Sophie... it would be Sophie.
Tumblr media
Number four, Esme Cuckoo. She likes that she is a crazy ass femme fatale yet it is obvious that Emma would kill her if needed so she truly acknowledges her as a true Frost.
Tumblr media
Number five, Monet St. Croix. If there was a student on Gen X that Emma ended up adoring enough to turn on her teaching streak back it was Monet.
Tumblr media
Number six, Phoebe Cuckoo and Mindee Cuckoo. I do not think Emma has been capable of telling them apart since they returned to blonde hair.
Tumblr media
Number seven, Sophie Cuckoo. Emma, why did you carry Sophie's dead body just to prove to Quentin how he had fucked up? I know that the Diamond Form fucks with your feelings but come on.
Number eight, Manuel de la Rocha. If Emma had had nine seats in her table for the characters in this list she would hide one if Manuel was close, if Emma buys Christmas presents she would give Manuel coal, if Emma ever gave Julian Frost International she would record it and and show it to Manuel, if she had to make a team and she needed someone that could control emotions she would activate Cerebra and find a new mutant.

Fragrâncias: 7 fragrâncias cientificamente concebidas para aumentar a auto-confiança
Tumblr media
O sentido do olfato está intimamente ligado à memória e às emoções, e certos cheiros podem evocar sentimentos de conforto, felicidade ou até mesmo confiança. Quando alguém usa uma fragrância que associa a boas lembranças ou que a faz sentir-se bem consigo mesma, isso pode ter um efeito positivo na auto-confiança. Além disso, muitas pessoas usam perfumes ou colónias como parte da sua rotina de cuidados pessoais, o que pode contribuir para uma sensação de preparação e confiança para enfrentar o dia. Sentir-se cheiroso e bem-cuidado pode aumentar a auto-estima e a confiança de alguém na sua aparência e presença geral. No entanto, é importante notar que o efeito das fragrâncias na auto-confiança pode variar de pessoa para pessoa, e nem todas as fragrâncias terão o mesmo efeito em todos. O mais importante é escolher uma fragrância que faça sentir-se bem e confiante, independentemente das opiniões externas. Houve a "Rive Gauche" de Yves Saint Laurent, cuja reivindicação anunciava que "esta não é uma fragrância para mulheres modestas", a "Femme" da Rochas, que tem vindo a celebrar a independência desde os anos 50, e mais recentemente a famosa "Girls can do anything" de Zadig & Voltaire. E se a fragrância se tornasse novamente o padrão de feminilidade poderosa e inequívoca? Depois de uma antologia de criações sem género, novos aromas encarnam uma expressão de feminilidade assertiva em sintonia com a evolução da sociedade. O perfume actua como uma saída libertadora, permitindo-nos ousar, definirmo-nos, fazer uma declaração forte sobre a nossa própria identidade. Estudos científicos demonstraram que 75% das emoções são despoletadas pelo olfato. Por isso, sim, uma fragrância pode fazer-nos sentir mais fortes, mais confiantes. De acordo com o catálogo de materiais aromáticos para fragrâncias e aromas, o cedro, o jasmim e o neroli são considerados como sendo capazes de trazer confiança e coragem, enquanto o gengibre, a mirra e o ylang ylang são considerados como sendo capazes de encorajar o desprendimento. Mas as coisas são de facto mais complexas do que isso. Se quisermos ter a certeza de que uma fragrância tem um poder emocional comprovado, temos de utilizar ferramentas neurocientíficas para nos ajudar a criá-la. É difícil associar matérias-primas a um estado de espírito específico. É a interação entre os ingredientes, a composição como um todo, que irá desempenhar um papel na provocação de emoções. Sabemos, por exemplo, que os citrinos, com as suas propriedades energizantes, dão um impulso de elevação. As madeiras proporcionam uma sensação de firmeza e a energia libertada pelas especiarias permite-nos avançar.
7 Fragrâncias que aumentam a auto-confiança
1 - Prada Paradoxe Intense Esta fragrância contrastante celebra as facetas da feminilidade na sua forma mais forte e delicada. Como se fosse levada à ebulição, a doçura do neroli irradia, uma super infusão de jasmim agarra os sentidos e a baunilha completa as coisas.
Tumblr media
2 - Divine, Jean Paul Gaultier Jean Paul Gaultier não esperou até 2023 para celebrar tudo o que é feminino. 30 anos após o lançamento de Classique, a casa criou o primeiro gourmand marinho. Uma braçada de flores brancas com uma brisa salgada está aninhada no frasco de silhueta de culto, que está mais moldado do que nunca.
Tumblr media
3 - Libre Platine, Yves Saint Laurent Foram necessários 7 anos para criar Libre, uma das fragrâncias mais estimulantes da atualidade. O calor envolvente da flor de laranjeira é perfurado por aldeídos de efeito gelado e um acorde vivo de lavanda branca, que parece espalhar-se pelo frasco até à Cassandra.
Tumblr media
4 - Fame Parfum, Rabanne O trio de perfumistas ao leme de Fame multiplicou por dez a sua força de ataque. O resultado é uma nova fragrância inspirada na parisiense independente e de espírito livre, na qual cada ingrediente (incenso + jasmim + almíscar) é exaltado. https://youtu.be/vsrLm6rGBE4?si=LGXnhTTKwF_djLjJ 5 - Sì Eau de Parfum Intense, Giorgio Armani Cate Blanchett, Sadie Sink, Matilde Gioli, Eugenia Silva… Esta procissão de mulheres poderosas avança em uníssono na nova campanha Sì, uma mistura densa de néctar de groselha preta e baunilha cremosa. "Sì é a escolha de dizer sim às infinitas possibilidades da vida e de aceitar cada faceta de si próprio", diz Giorgio Armani.
Tumblr media
6 - Téméraire, La Collection Particulière, Givenchy A tuberosa, a íris e o jasmim formam o trio de estrelas desta fragrância imponente, com o seu misterioso acorde de tinta e tons de especiarias. Um sopro de poder na pele, sensual e intrépido. Em suma, muito Givenchy.
Tumblr media
7 - Portrait of a Lady, Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle É indiscutivelmente a flor mais feminina que existe, e um único frasco desta fragrância contém 400 delas. A rosa turca eleva-se em majestade em Portrait of a Lady, juntamente com framboesa cintilante e notas amadeiradas chiques. Um perfume que encontrará uma vez e nunca mais esquecerá.
Tumblr media
Em suma, as fragrâncias têm o poder de influenciar não apenas o nosso sentido do olfato, mas também as nossas emoções e, consequentemente, a nossa auto-confiança. Ao escolher uma fragrância que nos faça sentir bem e confiantes, podemos aproveitar os benefícios adicionais que ela pode trazer para a nossa vida diária. No entanto, é importante lembrar que a verdadeira auto-confiança vem de dentro, e uma fragrância pode ser apenas um complemento para realçar essa confiança pessoal. Read the full article

Louise Bourgeois, Forêt (Night Garden) (1953)
https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/louise-bourgeois-foret-night-garden-other-31-c-67lxlzrq19
Childhood
Louise Bourgeois was born in Paris in 1911 and named after her father Louis, who had wanted a son. Most of the year, her family lived in the fashionable St. Germain in an apartment above the gallery where her parents sold their tapestries. The family also had a villa and workshop in the countryside where they spent their weekends restoring antique tapestries. Throughout her childhood, Bourgeois was recruited to help in the workshop by washing, mending, sewing, and drawing, overseen by her mother Josephine, with whom she was very close. As an adolescent, Bourgeois attended the elite Lycee Fenelon in Paris.
Despite all appearances pointing to a thriving family in which the young artist was exposed to certain privileges, there were persistent tensions in the household. This was because her father's mistress (who was also Bourgeois' tutor) resided with the family. This circumstance marked the pivotal trauma that would later come to inform Bourgeois' highly autobiographical artworks surrounding family, motherhood, relationships, fidelity, abandonment, the body, and trust.
Early Training
Bourgeois received an extensive education. In the early 1930s, she studied math and philosophy at the Sorbonne, where she wrote her thesis on Blaise Pascal and Emmanuel Kant. After the death of her mother in 1932, she began studying art, enrolling in several schools and ateliers between 1934 and 1938, including the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, the Academie Ranson, the Academie Julian, and the Academie de la Grande-Chaumiere. Her first Paris apartment was on the rue de Seine in the same building as André Breton's Galerie Gradiva, where she became familiar with the work of the Surrealists. In 1938, she began exhibiting her work at the Salon d'Automne and opened her own gallery in a sectioned-off area of her father's tapestry showroom, exhibiting prints and paintings. Through this short stint as an art dealer, she met and married art historian Robert Goldwater, with whom she'd relocate to New York City later that year.
Mature Period
Upon arrival in New York, Bourgeois enrolled at the Art Students League and focused her attention on printmaking and painting. She also had three children over a four-year period. Throughout the 1940s and '50s, Goldwater introduced Bourgeois to a plethora of New York artists, critics, and dealers, including most importantly, Alfred Barr, the director of the Museum of Modern Art, who bought one of her works for its collection in 1953. In the late '40s and '50s, she had several solo shows in various New York galleries. Her husband received a Fulbright grant and they returned with their children to France in the early 1950s, during which time her father died. Bourgeois began psychoanalysis in 1952, which she continued and off until 1985. In the 1960s, she began experimenting with latex, plaster, and rubber, and travelled to Italy, where she worked with marble and bronze.
Late Period
Bourgeois' husband died in 1973, the same year she began teaching at various institutions in New York City, including the Pratt Institute, Brooklyn College, and Cooper Union. It was during this time that she started hosting Sunday salons in her Chelsea apartment, which would become legendary. At these intimate sessions, students and young artists would bring their work to be critiqued by Bourgeois, who could be ruthless, referring to the gatherings, with characteristically dry humour, as "Sunday, bloody Sunday." Nevertheless, her accessibility and willingness to advise younger artists was exceptional for an established artist of such standing.
She also participated in several exhibits in the 1970s and '80s and began presenting performance pieces. In the 1970s, Bourgeois became politically active as a socialist and a feminist. She joined the Fight Censorship Group, which defended the use of sexually explicit imagery in art and made several of her own sexually explicit works related to the female body, such as Fillette (1968). Marking her prestige in the art world, Bourgeois had her first retrospective in 1982 at MoMA, which was the first given to a female artist at that institution. In 1993, Bourgeois, who became an American citizen in 1955, was chosen to represent the USA in the Venice Biennale. She died in 2010.
The Legacy of Louise Bourgeois
Bourgeois' work always cantered upon the reconstruction of memory, and in her 98 years, she produced an astounding body of sculptures, drawings, books, prints, and installations.
Bourgeois' work helped inform the burgeoning feminist art movement and continues to influence feminist-inspired work and Installation Art. The first Assemblages of Louise Nevelson, for example, were produced a few years after Bourgeois had been experimenting with similar environments, such as Bourgeois' Blind Leading the Blind (1947-49) and Night Garden (1953). Her focus on both male and female genitalia during the 1960s was an important precursor to Feminist artists such as Lynda Benglis and Judy Chicago, whose works address similar interests.
Her work on diffusing the complexities surrounding sexuality, processing its strands in our lives, and dissecting the reverberations of its presence on our emotional, intellectual, and physical existence has informed male artists as well, like Robert Mapplethorpe, who has given her credit for opening up new ways to consider the body, its relations, and its unique identity in his own photography.
Her marriage of tapestry and fabric with sculptural principles has also been seen in the world of fashion, as noted designers such as Comme Des Garcons and Simon Rocha, conceived collections based on her interconnecting shapes and forms.
