Misia, the new "old" muse of Chanel perfumes

"It excited genius as some kings know how to make winners" wrote the writer Paul Morand about Misia, née Marie Sophie Olga Zénaïde Godebska, pianist and muse of many artists of the early twentieth century. It was enough to inspire Olivier Polge who signs his first fragrance for the rue Cambon with a fragrance dedicated to that was the great friend of Coco Chanel. A fragrance both floral (violet) and powdery that enriches the exceptional collection "The Exclusive" Chanel.

 Daughter of Polish sculptor Cyprian Godebski, Misia is one of those museums that marked the beginning of the twentieth century by a charisma that was rivaled her beauty and "free" personality and whimsical ... She held a primary role in life of Gabrielle Chanel, she ushered in the chic bohemian world of Parisian art world. Sacred Queen of Paris, in its lounges coexisted Mallarmé, Proust, Satie, but also Picasso Colette and Cocteau with the same eagerness!


This artist which inspired and lived several lives -mariée three times-, the writer Paul Morand visibly under the charm, described "not as his weak recompose the memories, but as existed: effervescent joy or fury, original and borrower, picker geniuses all in love with her: Vuillard, Bonnard, Renoir, Stravinsky, Picasso ... ""There are all in women, and there are all women in Misia" Gabrielle Chanel


Inspired by the legendary parties that closing of society Russian ballet of the Opera Garnier in the late 1900s which Misia was the patron, Olivier Polge has designed its gentle intrusion into the life of the artist and best friend Coco Chanel by olfactory world fairs of the Palais Garnier where the perfumes lips mingled with the fur of the "ladies" in a decorum of red velvet curtain. A fragrance that the violet powdered dresses in a pink envelope from Grasse and tonka bean and benzoin Laos.


In one breath, the eternal feminine, his arts of seduction and magic missing ballets arise deep in our neck.
