Lancôme recreated favourite spirits of the Soviet women

The French producer of cosmetics and the perfumery Lancôme especially for Russia recreated the classical aroma of Climat popular in the 70-80th years in the USSR. The limited production of perfume — 3000 numbered bottles — is dated for the 40 anniversary of Maison Lancôme in the Soviet and Russian market. The aroma will be exclusively on sale in Articoli of GUM since September 29, is reported in the press release sent to the editorial office of Lenta.ru.

Climat probably and the Post-Soviet countries spirits — them gives the most widely known in Russia to Nadia, the main character of the movie "The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!" (1974), her loved Ippolit — the truth, not in a box, blue with gold, which is memorable to most of modern judges of perfumery. To the middle of the 70th years the spirits of Climat created by the perfumer Gerard Gooupi in 1967 were on sale in a white stocky cubic box with the dark abstract pattern reminding a winter landscape. In such what is shown in the New Year's movie, most popular in Russia. Later the box became ultramarine, and in the late eighties — blue with gold stamping.

According to most of perfumery experts, then the original aroma ceased to be manufactured in France, and its place on counters was taken by doubtful imitations. In 2005 Lancôme in commemoration of the 70 anniversary of the company tried to recreate original Climat in the anniversary La Collection Fragrances series. Perfume was produced in a quadrangular bottle in retro style, packed into a white box with gold. However, besides according to experts, the updated composition conceded to the original.

Creators assure that aroma, since September 29 the available GUM in Articoli in spite of the fact that differs from the original on concentration (historical Climat were spirits, and a novelty — the perfumed water), is as close as possible to a flower aldegidnoy to Gerard Gooupi's formula. The top notes are aldehydes, a violet, a peach, bergamot oil; warm notes — a May rose, an iris and white flowers — a narcissus, a jasmine and a lily of the valley; loop notes for which Climat so was famous — east: musk, a sandal-wood tree, ambergris, tsibetin, beans it is thin also vetiver. Perfume is offered in the rectangular extended bottle packed into a dark blue box with golden silhouettes of the Eiffel Tower and St. Basil's Cathedral.
