For older men, illogical fragrances are suitable only in the evening, for celebrations and holidays. Regardless of age, everyday toilet water should be considered lightweight, with a simple combination. The main thing is to be at one with the smell and get only positive emotions from it.

In Soviet and perestroika times, the assortment of perfumes was small: your mother will probably remember 3-4 brands of perfumes that she and all her friends used. Sacrifices had to be made for the sake of the coveted bottle: imported perfumes could cost as much as the average salary of a worker, and it was not easy to buy them.

We have collected 10 of the most popular fragrances from the past that you will be interested to know about.

Climate by Lancome

For the first time, the Climat fragrance was released in 1967 in Paris. And in the 70s in the USSR, he became a real hit and the most desired gift for a Soviet girl. There was a spicy legend that French prostitutes supposedly use these perfumes! Moreover, in the film "Irony of Fate" Hippolyte gives Nadia the same perfume ... Well, after this, how can one not start dreaming about Climat?

Popular

As for the main notes of the fragrance, these are violet, lily of the valley, bergamot, rose, narcissus and sandalwood. By the way, the Lancome brand recently released a new version of the Climat, which sounds very modern and will appeal to many.

"Red Moscow" factory "New Dawn"

This fragrance is perhaps considered the main symbol of the Soviet perfumery past. Now it seems to you that “Red Moscow” can only scare away mosquitoes, but earlier perfumes occupied an honorable place on the shelf of fashionistas.

There is a version that "Red Moscow", first released in 1925, is directly related to pre-revolutionary fragrances. The French perfumer August Michel allegedly created the Empress's Favorite Bouquet perfume especially for Maria Feodorovna, and after the revolution at the Novaya Zarya factory, Krasnaya Moskva was produced on its basis.

This fragrance is based on jasmine, rose and spices. And perfume can also be considered a real “bestseller” (though only because Soviet women had no other choice for a long time): in the early 30s, literally everyone smelled of them, decades later, our mothers found the fragrance, and today it is produced in such the same packaging as 90 years ago.

"Riga Lilac" by Dzintars

If a young man, for financial reasons, did not give his girlfriend “French perfume” (meaning Climat, of course), then he probably chose another, more budgetary hit - “Riga Lilac” by the Latvian brand Dzintars. This fragrance was also in short supply - it was brought exclusively from the Baltic States.

There is probably no need to talk about the key chords - from the name it is clear that these are lilac, lilac and again lilac. Barely perceptible notes of cinnamon, which make the fragrance spicy and “delicious,” give the perfume a special charm.

Opium by Yves Saint-Laurent

The classic fragrance Opium, released in 1977, was the creation of Yves Saint Laurent himself - the master controlled the process of creating perfumes from and to, starting with the perfume composition and ending with the design of the bottle. In Soviet times, only those lucky women who miraculously managed to "snatch" the coveted bottle had Opium: sometimes limited quantities appeared in department stores.

Today, the first version of Opium may seem too harsh and intrusive, but the fragrance has many re-releases for every taste. The classic version with a pronounced oriental character was floral-spicy and with a slightly “medicinal” trail. So, by the way, it was conceived - Saint Laurent was inspired by the aroma of Japanese caskets for storing medicines. And, of course, opium - let's be honest.

J'ai Ose by Guy Laroche

Another perfume that enjoyed special popular love is J'ai Ose, which appeared in 1978. Like Opium, the fragrance belonged to the oriental floral group and was very fashionable. Perfume can rightfully be called legendary: Soviet girls with a demanding taste chose it. Of course, J'ai Ose was also successfully sold in Europe.

The heart of the fragrance is sandalwood, patchouli, orris root, jasmine, vetiver, cedar and rose, while aldehydes, coriander, citrus and peach added an interesting sound to it.

L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci

Perfume with the legendary cap in the form of soaring doves was once the hallmark of the House of Nina Ricci, and now they occupy a worthy place in the line of fragrances. The brand released L'Air du Temps in 1948, but the perfume appeared in the Soviet Union much later, although it was worth its weight in gold.

Like many perfumes of the time, L'Air du Temps is very rich and quite concentrated. Its most characteristic notes are carnation and iris, which are harmoniously complemented by chords of bergamot, rose and jasmine.

Anais Anais by Cacharel

The delicate floral scent of Anais Anais, like other imported perfumes, appeared in the USSR shortly after perestroika, although the "decaying West" got to know it much earlier - back in 1978. Be that as it may, our women immediately fell in love with him and for a long time was the most desired gift for March 8th.

Unlike most perfumes of that time, Anais Anais has an unobtrusive and fresh sound. No wonder, because orange, currant, white lily, Moroccan jasmine and "green" shades - this is a very elegant combination.

Chanel no. 5 by Chanel

A timeless classic, a legend, a masterpiece of perfumery - a lot can be said about this famous fragrance. He saw the light in 1921 and is still on sale - such perfume "long-livers" can be counted on the fingers. Many stars have been the faces of the fragrance, from Coco Chanel herself to Nicole Kidman, Audrey Tautou and even Brad Pitt.

In Soviet times, many perfume lovers, of course, heard about these perfumes, but it was almost impossible to get them. That is why, after the restructuring of Chanel No. 5, as a symbol of luxurious life, was a resounding success among Russian women.

Estee by Estee Lauder

Estee Lauder is the first American brand that managed to break into the cosmetics market of the USSR during perestroika. Women were immediately interested in the perfume with the laconic name Estee. And this despite the fact that in the USA it appeared back in 1968! But for Soviet ladies, the fragrance was a hot novelty ...

The floral fragrance is based on aldehyde, coriander, rose, jasmine and iris. And cedar, ylang-ylang and honey are responsible for the interesting original sound... Your mom has great taste!

Mon Parfum by Paloma Picasso

Another popular fragrance used by many women in the 80s is Mon Parfum by Paloma Picasso. This perfume was produced by the daughter of the great artist Pablo Picasso, who has been designing jewelry for the Tiffany house for many years. But Paloma, like her dad, is a very gifted person, which is why she managed to create a cult product in the world of perfumery. The perfumes that were popular during the Soviet era can still be found on store shelves today, but now instead of Mon Parfum they are simply called Paloma Picasso.

We are sure that you will also like this "mother's" fragrance. The combination of notes of hyacinth, ylang-ylang, bergamot, angelica, rose and citrus is relevant to this day.

Once the king of fashion, Christian Dior, said that after some time after meeting a woman, memories of her clothes will be erased. But the memory of her fragrance will live forever. That's right: a lady's image is remembered mainly thanks to perfume. And it is the plume fragrances for women, the rating of which will be presented in our article, that are responsible for making the fragrance long and memorable. Loose perfumes are those perfumes whose base composition is durable and recognizable. After all, there are incense that disappear immediately after application to the skin. Other odors disappear after a couple of hours. But train bouquets will remind you of their owner for a very long time.

Loop perfumery: how to determine its "power"

Loop fragrances for women (the rating is presented below) are fragrant compositions, the strongest notes of which are accentuated in the base chords. Thanks to this feature, they acquire such amazing durability. Young ladies who use just such perfumes apply them not only before the upcoming romantic meetings. They also choose them when they are going to attend a party or other place where it is important to make a good impression on the people around them. But here it is necessary to take into account one circumstance: due to the extreme durability, such bouquets should not be used in an office, classroom or other institution of a similar nature. A strong scent can make it difficult for others to focus on their work.

Some young ladies complain that the plume fragrances for women they have purchased (their rating can be found in our review) cease to exude their smell after 30 minutes after application. Therefore, they cannot understand what kind of reaction they cause in other people. Some of the perfumes can be very liked by others, while others, due to their intensity, cause nothing but irritation.

To understand what's what, it is recommended to conduct a simple test. A few drops of a fragrant liquid should be applied to a piece of clean material without any aromas. In order not to get used to the amber, it is better to hold your breath during the manipulation. The fabric impregnated with perfume or toilet water should be put in some warm place. Even a battery will do. Now the woman needs to leave the room for ten minutes. When you return, you need to carefully listen to your own feelings: if you can clearly feel the amber at the very entrance to the room, it means that the tested perfume has a persistent trail. If, in order to catch the aroma, you need to bring the fabric to your nose, then this indicates that the product contains a minimum amount of essential oils. It is not recommended to use such a tool before a responsible event.

Perfume with a simple name

The famous Italian fashion house, creating a new women's perfume in 2012, did not think much about its name. And he called it clearly and simply, but eloquently, - Eau de Parfum Roberto Cavalli. The world-famous brand from Italy, paired with Coty Prestige, worked on the development of the plume fragrance. Also, perfumer Louise Turner, whose name is well known in the world of amber, was invited to the company for the manufacture of incense.

Floral plume fragrances are considered the most popular. That is why perfumers place the greatest emphasis on the creation of just such products. The rating of floral fragrant liquids looks like this:

It doesn't get any sweeter

The first place is occupied by Candy perfume from Chanel. A deep sweet smell reminiscent of the amber of berry candies. This perfume is fundamentally different from the classic austere incense created by Mrs. Chanel. The fragrant liquid is intended for young ladies who are happy when attention is shown to them.

In second place are Prada Candy L'Eau perfumes. Sweet female bouquet is woven from caramel and white musk. Citrus notes and vanilla enhance this tandem. And the Sicilian mandarin and lemon serve as a real boom in positive mood.

And the third place belongs to the spirits of La Vie Est Belle from Lancome. This sweet composition is intended for sensitive and soft girls who perceive life only positively. The essence of the product perfectly reflects its name, which in translation into Russian sounds like “Life is beautiful!”.

Train composition by Giorgio Armani

"Giorgio Armani" is another fashion house that can offer its admirers wonderful train perfumes. Their name is Si Eau de Parfum Intense. The product has the consistency of eau de parfum and is a flanker of the Si bouquet presented in 2013. The new version differs from the previous one by the presence of a chypre chord.

How to apply

So we examined what popular plume perfumes for women exist. To really hit everyone on the spot with their fragrance, you need to know how to properly and in what places it is best to apply perfume. It should be sprayed where blood comes close to the surface of the skin. Such areas of the body are called "warm" points, and they are the earlobes, popliteal fossae, lower neck, hands and shoulders, as well as the elbows and inner sides of the wrists.

Hair also perfectly retains fragrance. If the skin is lubricated with a nourishing or moisturizing cream, then the perfume or will last longer. It is recommended to use any composition immediately after taking a shower, when the body is slightly damp and still warm. So the smell will last much longer. And in the morning, you need to choke less than in the evening.

No scent has age. Many women carry their love for this or that perfume throughout their lives, and decades later they are happy to put on the fragrance that gave them pleasure in their youth.

Meanwhile, the choice of perfumes for mature women, of course, has its own rules:

• First of all, you should pay attention to really high-quality, expensive perfumes, because in their life women usually have time to try a lot of perfumes and develop their taste. A well-known brand will make a good impression;
• secondly, the aroma should be sufficiently saturated: the peculiarities of odor perception are such that with age, air perfumes no longer cause delight and, of course, pronounced girlish compositions should be avoided (for example, sugary-sweet, like candy, or too fruity, or just in overly bright packaging);
• and, of course, most women are partial to perfumes that were popular when they were in their 20s or 30s.
