Minotaure Sample

Navigating the labyrinth of ancient Greek mythology towards the light of today, Minotaure Cologne embodies the strength and intelligence of the legendary creature built with the body of a man and the head of a bull. The Minotaure dominates all, just as spicy notes of tarragon, coriander and bergamot irrevocably flow into a powerful, pulsing heart laced with floral aldehydes, lily of the valley and contrasting, fresh geranium. Released in 1992, Paloma Picasso’s amber fragrance for men is a compelling tribute to the collision between man and beast. A complex, entrancing blend that comes alive with intense passion, exalted by an unexpected coalescence of strong, aromatic essences.

Minotaure is aromatic, savoury and wild with a blend of distinct floral and woody accords that merge to imprint its wearer with a tactile, brooding musk. Sunlight meets the mysterious darkness as lively, fresh aldehydes reflects against inebriating, acidic green geranium, deep cedar and sandalwood. Toasty tonka bean warms sweet vanilla at the close to shape an alluring, lasting trail.
