Perfume Minotaure Paloma Picasso 75 ml

Product Information

Perhaps it was labyrinthine in its time due to its number of notes, such as that opening loaded with fruity synthetic notes with a certain bitterness from galbanum and a slight animalic touch reminiscent of the mythological creature locked in the labyrinth, also with notes of tonka, vanilla , aldehydes, precious woods such as sandalwood and cedar in addition to a sweet tobacco aftertaste that I perceive even if it does not contain it (perhaps some of its components make up this accord) in addition to having spicy notes such as tarragon and coriander, and some flowers(rose, jasmine) and a bitter muget that together with the geranium highlight his virility. Mine has a clear sprayer/collar - possible that either this changed in the late 90s/early 00s under Cosmair or that the fragrance was reformulated under Cosmair and that could explain the differences in reviews/quality, even when discussing Cosmair bottles. that always kept me away from wearing it more often - a common place approach by the perfumer I suppose, who must have been given the name of the perfume by Paloma Picasso before starting his work. I love that I am reminded of cherry Lik-M-Aid Fun Dip, Tang and Crystal Light powder, some dried apricot, Durkee vanilla extract; it's a bit like exploring my grandmother's pantry.

Soapy aldehydes, florals, and sandalwood mixed with an accord that I swear Mugler copied exactly in Pure Malt- this fruity/vanilla slightly plasticky, boozy smell that is at the core of Minotaure. The opening is aldehydic and spacious; Minotaure isn't dense by any means, and for that, it creates an atmosphere around the wearer.

Many try it today looking for its past glory and are surprised that it is not so complicated for our times, although it maintains a pleasant aroma, quite versatile and its drydown is wonderful. Consider it a mix of "Roma Uomo" with a "Le Male" aftertaste (yes, Gaultier's mega hit was strongly influenced by Minotaure) with some of Joop! Just an update to my older review where I tested batches of this (vintage Cosmair vs less vintage Cosmair vs newest, non Cosmair): I got a bottle of 1992 Minotaure and what shocked me was how animalistic it was compared to my mid-90s Cosmair. I have found that this works better in cooler weather, as I once sprayed too much of this in the high heat and it was overwhelming. I bought the re-formulated version blind; and although not to my taste, I can see how it might have appeal for lovers of all things obtuse and contrary.

Girls there is a true beastly handsome viril masculine prince of darkness around,who still come and seduce you with only one look and you will be lost in his trap" and my answer was "oh I can't wait!
