What do artistic perfumes represent?
These are perfumes that have a story, that appeal to a deeper sense.
How they are created emerges from a personal, subjective definition...
These are surprising fragrances, with their own olfactory choices. They don't follow a trend, and this is done in order to recreate, in the case of Marylise Mirabelli perfumes, a musical and visual universe.
Creations that will please fans of artistic perfumery and unconventional fragrances.
Fruit of the imagination.
I chose not to have the perfumes tested before their launch, leaving the surprise of discovery for each olfactory transcription.
Each fragrance comes from the imagination and from what I wanted to make people feel.
They are created to transcribe the storylines of songs and music videos — so their scent evolves to tell the story as it goes along.
Choosing perfumery was a way to be transported into visual scenarios. Smell is one of the senses that makes us realize we are truly present in a place. We can watch and listen to a video on TV without being there, but being able to smell is only possible if we are there.
By creating a fragrance inspired by sounds and images, it allows us to be present in the story.
On the other hand, having a musical and visual support also helps the public get an idea of the spirit of the perfume without having smelled it first.
CLUB 30'S — Inspired by "Smooth Criminal." It focuses on the main character. A fragrance that characterizes his gentlemanly demeanor and charisma, and whose fresh, floral trail we can follow like a spotlight through the atmosphere of a club with old parquet floors and the characteristic alcoholic scent of a gangster's den.
DIANESQUE — Inspired by "Dirty Diana." This fragrance is a representation of Diana's character. It describes her leather clothing, her sensuality, and the fragrance a femme fatale like her would wear. It then surrounds itself with the animal side and vintage rock of backstage at a concert.
SUITE 1209 — Inspired by "Who is It." This one focuses more on ambiance and decor. With a solar opening representing the golden hour, this shimmering light slowly fades into a more nocturnal and intimate atmosphere, describing the essence of palaces clad in fine woods. A floral accord embodies a refined woman dressed in her Chanel suit, enveloped by a luxurious environment.
Iconic fragrances.
As you will have understood, Marylise Mirabelli perfumes are designed to recreate the atmosphere of Michael Jackson 's musical universe.
Besides, the King of Pop loved beautiful perfumes.
For the record, Elizabeth Taylor wore Bal à Versailles by Jean Desprez , who introduced her to it.
A beautiful vintage amber fragrance from 1962.
It has become his signature fragrance, just like Tom Ford 's Black Orchid ...
Two sophisticated, powerful fragrances, definitely among the ranks of such icons!
When admiration becomes homage.
The diversity and beauty of her creations made me want to do something special in her honor — with an icon as inspiration, these perfumes had to be up to her standard: high quality and beautiful, or as I call them " magnificent "!
Whether in fashion, music or cinema, many great artists have been inspired and influenced by this pioneer.
Winks that refer to his video clips or the representation of an entire era and generation, to covers of his songs, or even the trigger for the creativity of stylists.
Here are some examples.
