VOLTAIRE: The Inspiration behind a fragrance
By Felicia Hazzard
I remember the first time I became fascinating with the history of the French Monarchy and how it all came to an end during the French Revolution.
During the Enlightenment period, there was a French writer who secretly wrote and published many books about his hatred for the French Monarchy and ignited the citizens of France to revolt against the Monarchy. The name of the author is Francois-Marie Arouet de Voltaire. Voltaire wrote his most famous satire novel, Candide in 1758 and was known as one of the greatest writers of mankind.
Now, in the twenty-first century, we are still inspired by the book, Candide and for natural perfumer and owner of Aftelier Perfumes, Mandy Aftel she created a new fragrance giving homage to Voltaire and his book, Candide by composing CANDIDE PERFUME.
CANDIDE PERFUME represents a “bright, uplifting floral scent for men and women that give the theme of optimism through sublime jasmine and age-old frankincense”.
The scent of jasmine plays a major part in CANDIDE PERFUME for its uplifting aroma and its adds a sensual, warm lush tone to this fragrance. It is also made with grapefruit, blood orange and olibanum.
Ms. Aftel took the essence of the novel, Candide and used the perfume notes to give it an upbeat and “take charge attitude” of your own destiny. It is very warm on the skin and it stays on for several hours.
CANDIDE PERFUME was launched in 2010.
